Sound

It's cool that Square and Disney made the voiceovers fit the American diolog. Oh, duh! I meant the mouthing. The voiceovers are still great. Sound FX, background music, they've done it all with grace. My only complaint would be if Ansem (The final boss) didn't say the word 'darkness' a thousand times in every cutscene. That's all folks!

Gameplay

Next to Ratchet & Clank, this is the most fun I've ever had on the PS2. You play as Sora, a 14 year old boy with huge feet, that want's to get of his island that he lives on. Not that its bad, he just want's to explore the universe. When he was in bed that night a big black hole looking thing showed up in the sky and- oh forget it, just get the game. You start out with objectives and battles to get the game started. The controls are kinda wierd though. You jump with O and attack/magic/examine/and use items with X. Too many things for one button? Use the right analog stick to switch trough them. Funky if you ask me. Nevertheless, you'll have a blast with this game!

Sound

The quality of the sound is also great. The voices of the different Disney characters are dead on. My only complaint here is that each world only has about 2 minutes of original music before it loops back around and starts over. If you're in a world long, this can get annoying fast and the music is the kind that gets stuck in your head for a year.

Gameplay

First off, this game is more platformer than RPG. If you don't like platform games you won't like KH.

The battles are the worst part of this game. Essentially, you hack and slash your way through your enemies. The problem is, the enemies keep coming. And coming. And coming. It's not that it's difficult, most enemies in this game are push-overs, but they're just too numerous. Assuming your thumb doesn't fall off from all the button mashing, you'll be bored to tears.

Another problem is that the game won't let you do anything while a battle is in progress. You can't open chests, flip switches, or anything else. So simply leaving an area does not work everywhere. It gets really anoying when trying to solve a puzzle or reach a difficult area. There's nothing like spending an hour jumping, swinging, and climbing to narrow platform only to be pushed off by an impromtu battle. Thanks guys. Basically, the enemies in this game are like an annoying younger sibling that constantly taps on your shoulder while you're playing the game repeating, "Is this annoying? Is this annoying? Is this annoying? Is this annoying?" Talk about controller throwing fun!
