Square Enix seem to be the only ones keeping the PSP afloat these days, with one of their headline titles being Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, a prequel to the original Kingdom Hearts, being released on the system in 2009.

The demo began in a forested area with Terra calmly walking through into a clearing. As is usual for a Kingdom Hearts game, creatures -- very similar to the Heartless in appearance -- sprung up from the ground and threatened Terra. These creatures were much quicker then the normal Heartless and are animated extremely well to be twitchy and nervous in appearance. Soon after the creatures appear and Terra mutters a few lines nonchalantly, the battle begins.

In this particular level, Ventus had been shrunk to the size of a mouse, so in order to reach certain heights, we had to use the environments creatively. At one point we had to jump on a fork sticking out from the wall, which then propelled us to a ledge above. Sadly, we had to leave the booth, so we never defeated the end boss, Lucifer the cat. On the other hand, we got to knock around giant balls of yarn, so that must count for something. Regardless, we're happy to report that the game is lovely to look at, and we had fun with the limited amount of time we spent with Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. We'll bring you more information, including an exact release date, as soon as it is available.
