PlayTM writes: "The World Ends with You rewrites the gaming rulebook, crosses boundaries and mixes cultures. Obviously determined from its inception to be something different, the result is happily an highly enjoyable and varied experience. Ironically though, its hard-to-communicate play style and indie visuals make it more a game for critical acclaim than retail success.
Every so often a game comes along that doesn't fall into the usual set of genres. Either it cuts an entirely new path or is a new combination of styles. The World Ends with You is most definitely one of these, and falls into the latter category. The jury is still out on exactly how we should classify this tricky little game from Square Enix, but our best stab at it would be a rhythm-action role-play game (RPG)."
