From IGN.com's Demo Impression:

TGS 2008: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Update
Hands-on with the show's most obtusely named game.
by Daemon Hatfield

October 8, 2008 - A few levels of the single-player game in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days were playable on the show floor here at TGS. From a mission select screen players choose from several worlds that are floating out in space. Once you've made your selection you jump into some 3D action RPG mayhem with one of several AI partners.

The A button swings your keyblade but we found the attack to be a bit sluggish. Our hero, Roxas, also has the ability to double jump. Your AI partners seem to fare pretty well on their own. You can always hear their footsteps to tell where they are in relation to you. Tapping the R button will snap the camera behind you. In open environments the camera doesn't pose a problem, but in narrow indoor corridors there were many occasions when we couldn't see where we were going or what we were attacking. Combat includes an auto-target mechanic. Nearby enemies will display a target icon and as long as you swing in their direction you'll hit them.

Level 1 concluded with a boss fight against a giant suit of armor. He would perform a ground pound technique that would cause his vulnerable head to roll to the ground. The boss of the second area was a large, shadow bull thing who slammed the ground with his giant palms.

Spending quality time with your friends seems to be a central theme in 358/2 Days. Roxas always has a partner fighting alongside him. After defeating the knight in level 1, Roxas and his pal Axel enjoyed a popsicle while overlooking the town. Disney had very little presence in the demo we played. At the very end of level 2, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast showed up.

[GameDragon]

Any new footage for the game?

 

[psycoblaster]

there were few vids that showed about 5 seconds of the game, but not really.

 

[Raika]

WHAAAAT!!!! Ive been waiting for this game since last year and since the us releases are always later than japan releases, i think we would only get it around april-june next year... Hope im wrong though

 

[pasc]

Well, there was this vid I uploaded:



I made it from the ign feature of the special SE event.

 

[Raika]

wow it looks really good cant wait for it to be released x3

 

[GameDragon]

That one isn't new though, it was from DKΣ1373. I was wondering if there was anything new from TGS 08, but I guess not.

 

[Raika]

hmm so what do you guys think of the gameplay? i personally find the map/background a little too empty but well a lot of space is needed for moving around so...

 

[Rock Raiyu]

This disappoints me..I've waited so long for this game and its getting pushed back to February! Then again, its almost late in the year to announce a release for this year =/

 

[Hehe Moo]

Hey, at least when its released in Japan next year someone can patch it into english =]

But man that really sucks.
