# 5 The World Ends With You

The World End’s With you is a relatively new game, coming out last year over the summer. Critically acclaimed for it’s story telling and music it’s very much a shame that the game never really caught on here in the Americas.
The game follows Neku, a young unsociable 15 year old who wakes up in the city of Shibuya, Japan without any memories what so ever. It is then where he receives a text message telling him he will die unless he completes a series of missions. This series of mission is referred to as a “the Game”, and throughout this game Neku meets many people and begins to discover who he truly is..

The sound track of this game is amazing, with a interesting mix of two completely different genres, hip hop and rap. This very much fit in with the style and setting of the game. The World Ends With You has helped set a standard this generation of gaming by helping introduce something completely out of the norm that’s fresh and new, that really hasn’t never been seen before this generation, and developers are definitely taking notice with games like Mad World also incorporating that same mix of hip-hop and rock.

Sadly though The World Ends With You hasn't been very successful here in the states selling less then a million copes The World Ends With You sadly really hasn't had much popularity outside reviews and the Square fanbase.
