Pros
+Fantastic plot and characters
+Great setting and great art style
+One of the best OSTs ever
+Multiple difficulties
+Interact with players or if you have certain Pins equipped while not playing, the number of days decide how many PP (Pin Points) you get to level the Pins.
+Replay value includes the option to replay older chapters (days) to do special missions to get Secret Reports which explain the story a bit more
Cons
-The "Stride Cross Battle System" is complex and can be irritating at times especially since your ally on the top screen can cost you a fight
-The major mini game Tin Pin is pretty horrible and gameplay is very complex/annoying
-Touch screen controls is hit and miss type of deal with some commands not being read
