No, not battling in the sense of "Why can't my size 9 feet squeeze into these 7 1/2 Jimmy Choo shoes? They are the last ones left!" The new video game The World Ends With You requires you to be up on your trends if you want to make it to the next level. The game takes place in a world where the characters pride themselves on their funky, outlandish clothing. That's right, who knew the main point of a video game would ever be fashion?
The main character Nebu and his buddies, when they're not battling, enjoy shopping for trendy threads. The outfits you choose offer various superpowers, but you've got to be careful, because what's cool in one neighborhood is absolutely hideous in another. Sounds a bit overwhelming, – fighting two separate battles simultaneously on both screens of Nintendo DS and keep yourself looking fashionably cool, no? But if you're a hard core gamer and think you're on top of your fashion game, you might want to check it out.
