In this game, you play as Sora and Riku separately in seven worlds. In order to switch between them, there is a feature called the Drop feature that puts the current character to sleep and wakes up the other character so you can play as them. Instead of fighting the annoying Heartless that never seem to end, you fight against new type of monsters called Dream Eaters. These monsters have been these seven world from being awake from the darkness. So it's up to you to unlock the seven keyholes to awaken the worlds and become true Keyblade Masters.
Since you no longer have Donald and Goofy with you as Sora, you use good dream eaters instead. With dream eaters, you can use them to help you in battle, use the Ability Link feature to unlock their abilities and moves, and power them up with training toys. If your dream eaters' link gauge is full you can use one of the links to help gain the upper hand in battle, or use both links to fight harder than ever. Another feature that is added to the game is the amazing Flow-motion and Reality-Shift abilities. With flow-motion, you can use it to get around places more faster, use it against enemies, and use it to escape from battles. Reality-Shift, on the other hand, helps you use certain objects like throwing barrels, or activating events like coding a machine to self-destruct. This makes the game more easy to handle by yourself.
During gameplay you will earn and unlock certain things like Keyblades, Glossaries, Flashbacks, and Mini-stories. Some Keyblades boost strength, magic, or both. Glossaries are definitions to help you get a better understanding of what things are in the Kingdom Hearts Universe. Flashbacks help you know what's going through the game, while Mini-stories gives you a brief summary about the series and the games that leads you up to the game you're playing unless you played all the games.
World Map interface gets you around different worlds so you can and entire through something new or go back to collect items you forgot to get. With each world having their own design and music, it makes the game fun to play. Every world has their dive entrance which a little mini-game you need to pass in order for to get the world. Sometimes the dive game includes bosses to defeat. Each world has their own boss. Sometimes, it takes a while to defeat the boss especially if it keeps doing the same attack pattern every time, but when you do, you will be rewarded with Keyblades.
Verdict:
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is worth spending your money on if you're done playing with demo fifty thousand times.
