Dream Drop Distance=3D, cuz it's 3 Ds...get it
Dream Drop Distance is fairly unique when it comes to KH gameplay. It's not the first game in which you play as both Sora and Riku, but it is the only one where you continually switch between them to progress the story. Honestly, I think it's a really interesting way to play! Sora and Riku have different combat styles, but they're both a lot of fun to play as.
The story is about as confusing as most of the games in the series. Since it's the lead-up to KH3, I would not at all recommend this to people who are new to the franchise. It'd be like jumping into Star Wars at Episode 6. Wouldn't make any sense!
I do think that there's a handful of bosses, particularly nearing the end of the game, that are a bit more challenging than I would've liked. I don't mean challenging the way KH usually is; the game can get pretty difficult at higher difficulty levels. I mean challenging as in kinda annoying. But overall, I didn't have any problems.
They did do something here that I was very impressed by. They fixed the platforming! Back in Kingdom Hearts 1, the platforming was the second-worst part of the game, by far. (The worst was the Gummi Ship.) But with the addition of flowmotion, the platforming is actually fun, not to mention useful in combat. They had to nerf it significantly for KH3, which I completely understand. It was really easy to cheese it.
If you're playing through the Kingdom Hearts series, don't skip this one!
