It's about a Angst, Emo personified teenager named Neku Sakuraba. He and a number of other "Players" are in a place called the Underground. There, they are forced to play a game held by the reapers. The players have to team up with a partner, something that is way outside Neku's comfort zone, and Fight off the Noise, creatures from a parrallel dimension, and complete the Mission asigned by the Game Master while surviving to the end of the week. Those who succeed earn the right to go back to the RG, or real world.
There's a lot more to the story, but if you knew any more, then it wouldn't be fun.
You control both Neku and his partner durring battle. Neku is controlled via the touch screen, while his partner can be controlled by button prompt via button pad or thumb pad. He has three partners during the course of the game, each with a different battle style, along with different requirements to unleash their distinctive and devestating combo attacks.
To tell you just how awesome this game is would take to long. I can honestly say it's one of the best games I've ever played for the DS, and has earned it's place in my permanent collection. Any DS owner should at least try it once, in my opinion.
