Picked up a copy @ my local Best Buy the other day and I love it so far. Anybody played this game yet? if so, what are your thoughts?

- I really like how in the game it introduces the player (who most likely doesn't know anything about KI except from Brawl) and throughout the game gives a brief history on the characters, monsters, and enemies while introducing new characters and enemies.

- The storyline is pretty good so far; gives good background for the characters and it's involving enough to keep the player interested.

- The music is well orchestrated and every track sounds pretty good (my personal favorite is the boss battle 1).

- The sound quality is really good for the 3DS, as for voice acting, surprisingly, it isn't that bad, a lot of the voice actors made good effort. Of course some of the voices are annoying, but hey, you get that in almost every cartoon/animated movie/video game. Speaking of voice acting, is it just me or is the voice actor of Jecht (FFX) taking the role as one of the characters in KIU?

Controls:
I found them a bit awkward to begin with, since i'm left-handed, I had to play with the settings a bit to adjust them to my liking but I started to get used to the controls after a bit. This game is very friendly with configuration and the developers were kind enough to include a test feature so you can see if your configuration is comfortable enough for you to use. You can also test the weapons you obtain before equipping them!

Features:
I like how it has an achievement system where you can obtain items and equipment from some of the requirements you meet. I also like the option for multiplayer and online multiplayer, I wasn't expecting that to make it into the game, so it was a nice surprise. Haven't tried them out yet but I plan to eventually.

I can see this game being replayable from what it offers in content. There is a lot to this game and completing the storyline isn't even the half of it since there are so many things to obtain and achievements to unlock.

Overall, its the very game I dreamed of getting when I picked up the 3DS, it was worth the wait.
