Description

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Special Edition includes:
  • 2 Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep artprints
  • Hardback, 48-page artwork book "The Art of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep"
Turn back the pages of time in this earliest chapter of the KINGDOM HEARTS saga that explores the origins of the series. Showcasing all-new characters and brand new but instantly recognisable Disney environments from the worlds of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, the game boasts exceptional graphics making it one of the most beautiful titles ever to be released for the PSP. In addition to new characters and environments, KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep features three new battle systems and four different multiplayer modes.

Long before Sora was chosen by his Keyblade, the worlds' safety lay in the hands of others known as the Keyblade Masters. It is under one of these, Master Eraqus, that three young people have been training long and hard to prove that they, too, exhibit the Mark of Mastery: Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. The three of them will soon find themselves in the middle of a crisis affecting worlds far beyond their own-just as another Keyblade Master, Xehanort, goes mysteriously missing. Three friends, three purposes; one horrible fate toward which they must unknowingly march…

Features:
  • Discover unknown origins to the storyline of the KINGDOM HEARTS series. Immerse yourself in the epic story, and discover all-new mysteries and secrets in a compelling new adventure from Disney and SQUARE ENIX!
  • Play as any of the three heroes - Terra, Ventus or Aqua - as you embark on a unique journey for each of them, exploring amazing new worlds and unleashing their incredible new abilities. Complete all three adventures to learn the whole story!
  • Awe-inspiring graphics make this one of the most dazzling games ever made for the PlayStation Portable.
  • The attacks and magic familiar from the KINGDOM HEARTS series have been enhanced with some spectacular new abilities. Organise your attacks with Deck Commands, master the art of Shotlocks to unleash devastating attacks on multiple enemies, and become a force to be reckoned with as your character's unique Command Styles evolve to take on ever more powerful fighting forms!
  • As you continue your quest, you'll unlock the Command Board to earn valuable bonuses. The Command Board is a dice-rolling strategy game for up to three players. Use your Commands on the Command Board and make them power up for the main adventure!
  • Use the all-new Dimension Link to call on characters that you meet from different worlds, and borrow their amazing and varied unique abilities to help on your adventure!
  • Connect wirelessly with up to six players in Mirage Arena, the exhilarating new multiplayer mode! Suit up in unique armour to win medals and extra bonuses for the single-player adventure.

5 stars ""Travel back to before Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2...""
Birth By Sleep takes you back to before Kingdom Hearts 1, you play as Terra, Ventus and Aqua instead of the usual protagonists. Your quest is to find the missing Master Xehanort.

Birth By Sleep is the first kingdom hearts game to be released on the PSP. The graphics are superb as all PSP games are and introducing a new battle system that are very different from the previous game such as the Command Board, Command System and Dimension Links.

Also, the new awaited feature, ONLINE MULTIPLAYER MODE! Play with up to 6 people at a time in either 'Versus' where players fight to the death or 'Survival Mode' fighting
Co-operatively.

Definitely get this game if you have a PSP or are a hardcore Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy fan!

Review by Christopher on 24th October, 2010
4 stars "AWESOME!"
This game is prbably the best psp game I have ever played. It is not as good as KH 1 and 2 but this game is pure win. I do however recommend not buying the collectors edition unless you are a die-hard fan as the extra items are not really worth it. Great game!

Review by Anthony on 13th October, 2010
5 stars "Spectacular - It's worth every cent!"
After playing this game, I found it amazing and it fits perfectly in the Kingdom Hearts series. The game play is the best so far. Not to mention, by getting the Special Edition, you get extras as well as the amazing box it comes in.

In my opinion, this is worth every cent and if you haven't got this game, then you don't know what a PSP game really is.

5 Stars EASY. Thanks MightyApe! =D

Review by Keith on 18th September, 2010
5 stars "Kingdom Hearts 3 for all intents and purposes"
This game is the prequel to the original kingdom hearts and stars 3 new keyblade wielders, Terra, Ventus and Aqua, each with their own storyline.

The combat is hands down the best in series, combining the deck aspects of Chain of Memories (which let you create your own abilities and fuse them together to form even more powerful ones) with the Forms and style of Kingdom Hearts 2

The voice acting is all star, the graphics are on par with Kingdom Hearts 2 and the game has a long life span, at least 10 hours for each character, followed by an extra episode and the Mirage arena and 2 secret bosses, and then there's the multitude of sidequests, including Command Board (think monopoly) and the sidequest WORLD Diseney town which features Ice Cream Beat and Rumble Racing among others.

I rate this KH best in series and it really ties all the loose storyline threads together nicely, while setting up for the next line of KH titles. Factoring in the Mirage arena and the new critical level one mode, this game has replay value to rival The Elder Scrolls series, This is the definitive PSP title.
