In the game, Neku Sakuraba and his allies are forced to participate in a game that will determine their fate. The battle system uses many of the unique features of the Nintendo DS, including combat that takes place on both screens, and attacks performed by certain motions on the touchscreen or by shouting into the microphone. Elements of Japanese youth culture, such as fashion, food, and cell phones, are key aspects of the missions.

This is my second favorite game ever, and what I consider to be the absolute peak of the console. Please please please play this on original hardware if you have the chance. There is no other game, nor will there ever be another game like The World Ends With You. It is hands down the most unique game I have ever played, with the best use of the dual screens via it's engrossing and complex combat. The music and 2000s style is such a time capsule of everything that made that decade fantastic. Timeless, yet so deeply of its time that it hurts in the best way possible.
