J. Severe 1,137 Posted July 17, 2012 While some players won’t tune into the Kingdom Hearts series again until the title includes a “III,” others keep up with the new installments no matter what. Dream Drop Distance is one of those titles that reaffirms your faith in Kingdom Hearts (like Birth by Sleep) rather feeling like an obligation (like Re:coded). If you’ve passed up other non-numbered entries, this game provides an extensive journal brimming with plot summaries and character info. It’s not easy to summarize a 10-year-old series as convoluted as Kingdom Hearts can sometimes be, but Dream Drop Distance does a great job. ... Fans who are tired of Kingdom Hearts side-stories should be glad to know that this is definitely the last game before Kingdom Hearts III. I’m not going to tell you why, but the fact is made very clear. If you want to know the setup for the next big entry, you have to play this game to find out what’s in store for the conclusion of the Xehanort arc. You could just watch some cutscenes online, but you’d be cheating yourself out of a lot of fun. http://www.gameinformer.com/games/kingdom_hearts_3d_dream_drop_distance/b/3ds/archive/2012/07/17/kingdom-hearts-iii-is-coming-the-game.aspx 8.25 is a nice score, but stop calling the handheld games side-stories.

Zenithia 305 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) IKR when KH3 comes out they are gonna bow down to the awesomeness of it tutti frutti. *IGN's reaction to KH3* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh78T--ZUxY Though I have to say that an 8.5 is a pretty good score for KH3D. I'm kind of curious on how they will react to KH3 when it hits shelves. Edited July 18, 2012 by zhill05 1 darkchaser reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingdomkid 1,194 Posted July 18, 2012 8.25 nice. Can't wait for KH3.

atheist123 583 Posted July 18, 2012 They gave BBS an 8.5...... so I thought they would've given 3D one too What really surprised me was the fact that they didn't bitch about the story being hard to follow like most reviews.... I think they put down the score based solely on the Dream Eater minigames Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
