Summary

Anyone over the age of 12 should be ashamed to enjoy this game. With that said, this is one of the most well made games on the ps2 platform. The concept of the game seems childish at first, Disney charactors like Donald duck and Winnie the Pooh in the same game as Leon and Yuffie, but once you start it, you really can't stop. The things that square games such as FFX lacked, were good strong charactors, and for love of pete, better voiceovers. Kingdom hearts makes up for this by using real, professional voiceovers, and charactors (most of whom we are already familiar with) who are accually interesting, and plot driven. That was all thanks to Disney. Square knows how to make gameplay, Disney can make real conflict. Here are a few things i didn't like too much, if you don't have a problem with them, go and buy the game right now, it's worth the money. 1.Goofy and Donald Though their charactors were surprisingly pretty good, they were almost pointless as to the gameplay. They weren't customizable enough. They died easily. You should have been able to control them. 2.Gummi ships I don't know how to explain why i didn't like them, i thought they were extremely unnessicary, and pointless to customize. The flight combat was lame-o. 3.Corny moments Though Disney added some magic and life to the charactors, as is expected they also Disney-fied them. You'll see. Once again, other than these things, the game is very fun, and takes a decent ammount of time to finish. Enjoy.

Sound

Phenomenal. Authentic voiceovers and very nice music.

Gameplay

Easy to learn, and challenging to master later in the game. It becomes more in depth the further in the game you go

Summary

A great game that everyone should play. A kind of predictable storyline because it takes place mostly in disney worlds. So if youve seen the movies then youll have a good guess what happens. I was always really surprised at how well they told the story. Now that its at a $20 price. Everyone should pick this up.

Sound

Great voiceovers. Only a few times where the dialouge is not spoken. The only thing i have to complain about is that they picked Lance Bass to be sephiroths voice. the fu**ing most evil villain ever.... played by lance bass. WTF

Gameplay

The battle system is great. It is in complete real time, using magic, items, and attacking, all in realtime. I also like that you can completely control your characters actions. I only wish you could customize how Goofy and Donald act during battle more.

Summary

Kingdom Hearts was an original idea to say the least. Combining Disney characters with Squaresoft and trying to make it a good game could be difficult. I think the story plot and list of characters could be better in this game. I found myself always wanting to see Riku and Kairi and all the Squaresoft characters, but the Disney characters got old after a while. (not that I"m dissing Disney, I like them, it's just they could have put more Squaresoft in) It seems that Squaresoft let Disney have all the cute stuff in the middle, and it would take over at the beggining and the end to make the story work. The story is good...when it's there. At the beggining they lay it out, and you don't get to see the rest of it (besides itsy tid bits) to the end. The characters could have been better. Goofy is just fine, besides his annoying voice which anyone could expect, he's an okay guy to see talk and react. Donald on the other hand, gets on my nerves all the time, he's just too...too...urgh, I dont' know what he is but he's annoying!

Summary

Ok...to make this plane and simple this game is the best game i have played since Chrono Trigger, and obviously to any true rpg game that should mean alot... The game play is great the only thing i would change about it would be more squaresoft characters like magus from chrono trigger or terra from final fantasy three...and one more thing.more cenematics.not like the little cut scenes where alladin yells JASMINE! but like the opening movie kind of cinimatics where evrthing is very detailed and thought out...and for the last thing i would change...MORE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM THAN GOOFY AND DONALD!!!Like when you get Tarzan you get to keep him instead of him staying in the jungle...Thats it...but other than those minor things this game is a must have!!!In no other game can you see donald duck blast the hell out of bad guys with fire...YEA!!!well...thanx for reading ...L8R... ~Anarki~
