I was going to get <b>Summon Night Twin Age</b> because I loved the first two on the GBA, but I just can't resist all the good reviews TWEWY has gotten over the internet... OK, I’m sold!

It's a definite twist from your usual Final Fantasy-style game. The tricky thing about it is wanting to control both characters manually; thankfully, the second character is on "auto-play", so if you don't have the dexterity/concentration yet, then you needn't worry. The game is great, I like the plot, the characters are really cool, not to mention the music as well! It's cool that you can actually buy music tracks in the game, too! And don't forget Mingle Mode! I powered up a ton of pins (your weapons to use) while Mingling, and a friend can mingle a ton of times so you'll get a bunch of points to accelerate the pins' levels! You can also register normal DS units that are playing Pictochat/wireless connected as well. And I found you'll rack up another Civvie when you've got your Wii turned on into the DS Download center! Another 20 pin points just for your Wii! This game is amazing, and I'll write a more detailed review later! Rating: 9.5/10 Definitely get this game if you like RPGs.

Tired of playing? Get rewarded for turning the game off. Get rewarded for leaving it on standby with Mingle on. Adjust your difficulty to your preference, reward for honing your skills. Match clothes/pins/items for different experiences There is simply so much to do with this. Tired of playing? Get rewarded for turning the game off.

I haven't put it down yet. It's certainly got a 'hook' like no other I've played in a long time. I will say I think you have to the kind of person that isn't swayed too easily by an abundance of text; there is a lot of reading. The 'pin' system is great, being able to switch combat styles and customize you fight style on the fly adds a nice personal touch. I'm sure there's hardly anyone using the same pin set. All in all if you own a DS there's no reason why you shouldn't have this in your collection. I’ll chime in on this one. I haven’t put it down yet.

I wouldn't classify it as the best rpg ever, but if you own a DS you really need to pick this up. The price tag is pretty severe, but it has more gameplay than some full price Wii games.

The story is engaging, with a good script to back it up. The combat is fun, making great use of the touch pad (and the d-pad, natch). Furthermore, fighting is scalably complex if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of strategy and combos. I can't recommend this title enough.

There is just so much to do in the game ; The battles are really fun, the music is catchy, and the story really does throw in a lot of surprise twists out of nowhere. I wouldn't say it's the BEST RPG of all time, but I'd say it's definitely somewhere in my top 5 list. I’ve been playing this game every day since it came out, and I’m *still* hooked on it.
