SPOILERS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
December 14, 2009 - If you like action and platforming or your a hardcore Kingdom Hearts fan, might as well put this on your Christmas LIst RIGHT NOW! This has epic music,epic bosses, an interesting storyline. You are a character named Roxas with a keyblade. You are in Organization XIII doing missions daily. Some are required while sone aren't. You get to fight bosses in some missions.

In a certain point in the game you encounter a mission where you must defeat 6 bosses. Well they are lying there are actually SEVEN bosses. Seventh being the strongest monster in the game: Dustflier. It only has a small moveset but it is DEADLY. 1 hit can instantly kill you. So you better be a pro at this game.

Finally at day 357 where the final boss is. You have escaped the Organization. You do not know what to do. Then you randomly meet up with your friend, Xion. She attacks you! She becomes this knight with armor. Like wow what a plot twist. Now there are 3 formes to this boss:
  • Xion: First Form
Xion, transformed. Sora's memories from each world have multiplied her powers. Her barrier restores HP. Stop it by striking with your weapon before she can raise it. She'll counter if you block her sword combo, so dodge roll out of the way instead.She will always spread her wings to signal her Sonic Blade charge.
 

  • Xion: Second Form
Xion, transformed. Sora's memories from each world have multiplied her powers. Her Ragnarok attack fires homing lasers that cannot be blocked—dodge them instead. However, play too hard to get and she'll fire repeatedly. Strike with your weapon if you see her trying to raise a barrier to prevent it from healing her.


  • Xion: Third Form
Xion, transformed. Sora's memories from each world have multiplied her powers.
Beware her Ars Arcanum attack, a fierce flurry of blows from her four arms. Most of her attacks cannot be blocked, so dodge roll out of the way, then counter.
Strike with your weapon if you see her trying to raise a barrier to prevent it from healing her.


  • Xion: Final Form
Xion's ultimate transformation. Sora's memories from each world have multiplied her powers.
This form packs a new arsenal of moves, including a powerful Final Limit once her HP dwindles. Glide up to her side and take shelter before it connects.

Finally you decide to go back to Organiztion XIII and stop their doings. Along the way you will have 2 keyblades, the oathkeeper and the obilivion. One for light while the other for darkness. You will have to beat many Neo Shadows along the way. Then you fight Riku at the end of it.
  • Riku
This warrior of the dark wears our Organization's coat. A master of combat, he combines combo attacks with a tight defense, a homing projectile, and a block-counter. His weapon grows in power when the tides turn against him, increasing his attack range.

Overall Kindom Hearts 358/2 days is an outstanding game. It makes the storyline of Kingdom Hearts make a little bit more sense now. It has great remixes of music from Kingdom Hearts 2. Oh and there is one more thing: Mission Mode. Here you can get crowns and play missions with other people. I am kind of glad they have finally made a Kindom Hearts game on a handheld system. That reminds me, I will have HIGHER expectations for the next Kinddom Hearts game for the PSP. Kingdom Hearts 3 Birth by Sleep should be AWESOME! Well have a Merry December!
