NEO: The World Ends With You is a sequel that manages to define itself much like its predecessor did back in 2007. While that game was undoubtedly the peak of its respective system, NEO doesn't quite reach the same heights. But this series comes back from the dead swinging bigtime, sporting a heavier soundtrack that is an absolute treat for the ears. The game also remains on top stylistically, managing to set itself apart from other rpgs on the market with elegance. The gameplay is single screen now, with each party member being assigned a different attack rather than Neku using all psychs with one partner. Nowhere near as innovative as the first game, but still a good system.
