Game Description:
Long before Sora was chosen by his Keyblade, the worlds’ safety lay in the hands of Keyblade Masters. Three youths — Terra, Ventus, and Aqua — have been training long and hard under Master Eraqus to prove that they, too, exhibit the Mark of Mastery. But they 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 destinies. Everything will link back to the beginning.

“Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep” Reviews:
“Like previous games in the franchise, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep provides good value for your money. Slashing through all three story strands may take you 25 hours or more, and the command boards and additional modes provide reasons to return once you’ve left the story behind… Birth by Sleep harbors few surprises, but it’s a fun and comfortable addition to a quality series.” GameSpot
“Birth By Sleep is an epic PSP title that provides an excellent (if a little belated) entry point for the series. The original Kingdom Hearts was a bit convoluted for the uninitiated (like myself) and Birth By Sleep has piqued my interest in all things Square Enix once again.” Gameplanet
“Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is yet another exemplarity RPG for the PSP, boasting a robust combat system, riveting plot and some sumptuous visuals. Only the protracted loading times hold it back from classic status.” Pocket Gamer UK
