[TGS 2008] Kingdom Hears Birth By Sleep – Game PV

Over at GameKyo, the first few gameplay footage fo Kingdom Hears Birth by Sleep for PSP  has arrived on the internet. Seeing the video the gameplay looks and feels like the old Kingdom Hearts game. Fans will enjoy this. Do note that the audio has been muffled out by the ambient noise but the video captures most of the level. Very impressive for a handheld game title.
