Seven days?

to do, such as Secret Reports

Characters

• Neku• Shiki• Beat• Rhyme• Joshua

How does the battle system work?

• You control Neku with the touch screen and can use the directional buttons to control your partner (or leave him/her on auto)

• Use pins to unleash attacks

Pins?

• Neku cannot attack on his own• Pins have various effects, most of which are

executed through the touch screen

Any problems?

• Some pins are difficult to activate• It can be hard to keep your mind on both

Neku and his partner, and auto can be stupid• Some of the enemies have ridiculous amounts

of HP/defense later (mainly ‘Taboo’ enemies)

Worth buying?

• If you like RPGs, games with good story or characters, fun and original battle systems, and an overall enjoyable experience… yes, get it!
