The World Ends With You Rap Review

Yo. Yo. Check it.

Welllllll, my name is Sergio

That rhymes with -ergio.

Rapping ain't my normal modus operandi

But I will, just this once, cuz I'm a nice guy

You voted, and I listened

Now this is what you're gettin'

Good or Blog's first rap review

for The World Ends With You

Amazing what you can do with MS Paint these days.

Uh. Yeah. I promised I would do a poem review for the game that won the poll if I got more than ten votes. The poll closed at 10 so I wrote a normal review for the winner, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, but through some internet miracle, an eleventh vote registered after I posted the review. So! I'm instead reviewing the poll's runner up, The World Ends With You, and in the funky-fresh spirit of the game, I'm interpreting "poem" as "hardcore gangsta rap". I hope you enjoy, and as always, I love to hear your comments.


The World Ends With You, it's a Squeenix Arr Pee Gee
Stylin' and unique, could pass for Final Fantasy

The difference is the platform, here you got two screens
Scratchin', slashin' stylus, there's more to it than seems

At first, instructionals are the name of the game

Just open up that menu, get nine pages of the same

It's something new, complicated, how about frustrating?
Maybe at first it hurts like hell, but the pain is quick fading

"Two screens!?" I said at first, "A player on each one?"
"How the hell am I expected to master something so dumb?"

WHAT IS GOING ON!? I yell, feeling dense
At what point will these symbols begin to make sense?

The combat and aesthetic soon begin to mesh and click
Impossible as it sounds, the mechanics start to stick

Addiction settles in for the coziest of stays
And I end up picking fights for days and days and days

Also the music is pretty kickin' but can get kinda grating
Repeating constantly is a qualm that needs abating

But what about the story, par with the Bard of Avalon?
Angst ridden emo kids at first elicit quite the yawn

The hero ain't heroic and the sidekick, scintillating

What's that? She's underage? Talk about jailbaiting

Stupid sexy teenagers.

You spend your time tooling around Tokyo

Shibuya in particular, sexy minor in tow

Taking part in a meta Game with other dead clowns
The winner of which gets a free Phoenix Down

Interesting in concept, the execution is quite selfish
The only thing that matters is me, myself, my own niche

You see, the story caters to a special kind of nerd
One self centered to the point of the absurd

Equally absurd. Also possibly the best antagonist.

It's all about grappling with your own social fears
But it ends up positive, being scared and changing gears

"The world ends with you" says a sage-like enn pee see
He speaks of living life to a limit you decree

So skip the game if the mixture seems a dark, smelly stew
Or listen to the quote up there, and let it's fun envelop you

WHAT WHAT. YEAH BOOOOYYYYYEEEH.
Word. To your mother.

Also: one out of one.
