The World Ends With You is a action/ RPG game that takes place in Shibuya, Japan. It is for the Nintendo DS and iOS.

The focus of the game is to complete missions, which are assigned throughout the game and defeat Noise, which are monsters.

The Game

Page 3: By Breanna Frederick-Mclean

You play as the character Neku Sakuraba, a Asian 15 year old male that is usually closed off and rude. He fights using pins which let him use powers.

During the game, you get three partners, the first is Shiki Misaki, a 15 year old female, who fights using a cat plush

The next partner is Yoshiya Kiryu (Joshua), who is a teenager who is very cunning and intelligent. He fights using his phone and lazers.

Your final partner is Daisukenojo Bito (Beat), a skate boarder who has a ‘tough guy’ attitude most of the time. He fights with his skateboard.

Other characters are, Raimu Bito (Rhyme, female) and Sanae Hanekoma (male), a adult friend of Joshua.

In The World Ends With You, the teenagers are portrayed as modern teens in japan. They are shown having problems a teen might have and dealing with personal problems, like appearance or friendships.

The characters are shown to be rather skinny or fit for the most part, and Shiki wearing small clothing, as well as some female NPCs

I didn’t notice any people with special needs in the game

Portrayal

Females are shown to care a lot about fashion or how they look

Males are usually shown to be ‘tough’ or business-like.

I didn’t notice much homophobia during my run-throughs, in fact, in the after-game, which is in a alternate universe, Joshua is shown as very feminine and seems to flirt with Neku sometimes.

The game revolves around fighting most of the game, though there is no blood or gore.

Several characters have guns, and one of them shoots Neku twice.

Many characters do die, by being erased (games version of killed)

I do agree that it is somewhat violence, but it is fantasy violence, using powers to keep your character alive.

Positive messages in the game are: enjoy life, know what you value most and why you value it, people can change for the better.

Negative messages: society can really suck.

I started playing it when I was 11, but didn’t get through most of it until I was 13. I think 12 is a good age to start but it depends on the person.

I’ve spent at least 40 hours on my current run, the first one had 30+ hours.

I like playing the world ends with you because the fighting style (use both ds screens) is different and unique

I also really like the story and challenges the game gives you

It has good messages that can make you think about life and other people

Here is a trailer for it

Why I like this game

I do think video game addiction does exist. It is when someone lets video games take

over their life and put all their time into it. I don’t think I’m addicted, since I only play

video games for a few hours a week, unless I get a new one then I play it during my free time
