Kingdom Hearts prequel Birth by Sleep PSP out tomorrow

Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is out tomorrow.

This latest game explores the origins of the much-loved franchise, incorporating all-new characters and environments from classic Disney films such as Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.

This prequel is set before Sora’s adventure in the previous Kingdom Hearts games as you play as one of the three heroes - Aqua, Terra and Ventus - all of whom have different storylines which need to be completed in order to reveal the whole story.

You can also call upon allies met throughout the game in order to help you with your quest.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep features four different multiplayer modes, including Versus, Arena (battling against hordes of enemies), Rumble Racing (involving transformation of the Keyblade to race against your friends), and Command Board (a strategy dice game where you can earn bonuses for use in the main adventure).

There are also three new battling systems, one of which includes Shotlocks in order to unleash attacks on multiple enemies. You can organise your attacks with Deck Commands.

More than 14 million copies of the Kingdom Hearts franchise have been sold worldwide. Stay tuned for the Pocket Gamer review.
