Written on December 2, 2007 Summary: Squeekin Its insanley fun and you can replay it again and again and you will have a different experience each time. The main things that stink about it are the camera angles suck, and you have to watch the cut scenes all the way through so when you die at a boss you have to go back, watch the video, fight the boss and repeate the cycle if you die again. The graphics are beyond there time, and i am going to play it right now  Written on December 1, 2007 Summary: A wonderful game for any age group Although it may be too difficult for children under eight, most children, teens, and many young adults enjoy "Kingdom Hearts." Although there is some dark content in this game, it is much less than most of the popular games today and most enjoyed the challenge. My nephews, cousins, friends, and many of the children I have watched over the years had fun playing "Kingdom Hearts." I even had allot of fun playing it and the kids had fun watching me trying to figure out how to work the controller. It takes many hours to win the game, especially if they want to put in the extra effort to get the bonus at the end of the game, so they get more entertainment for the money. Written on November 15, 2007 Summary: I'm surprised Ok. I saw the commercials and laughed. I saw people playing the game and laughed. I heard of the concept and laughed so hard I fell down. A Disney/Sqare Action-RPG mishmash? No way. Yet, last year, I found myself caught in the gaming drought of summer. No new games that I wanted to play, no new releases for a couple months. So.......I picked it up in the bargain rack, just to see how terrible it was. From the first few notes of the haunting score, I was hooked. The storyline of Sora and pals is of equal quality to the Final Fantasy series and pretty much every RPG ever. The "epicness" of the plotline, mixed with a beautiful score, pretty decent voice acting (Haley Joel Osment, anyone?), innovative gameplay, and surprisingly challenging difficulty makes this one of the year's best releases. I won't spoil the plotline for you, but it begins with a boy receiving a strange blade and a search for a lost king. The most important part of any RPG (in my opinion), is the gameplay. How hard is it? Does the camera pose any problems? As an action RPG, is there enough depth in the magic system? Is there too much hack and slash? Well, good news. The game successfully answers many of these questions. Sora and his trusty Keyblade will slice and dice through literally thousands of Heartless, yet the boss battles can be so hard you will be shaking your head at how you were mercilessly obliterated by a Disney character. There is quite a lot of depth in the magic system and the Keyblade is customizable to your fighting style. Yet, the game doesn't overcomplicate things. However, the biggest foe is the camera, which seems hell-bent on messing up your sweet combos. This is a huge disadvantage, especially in a few of the boss battles, which are hard enough. For a game with all these great assets, I was surprised a renowned RPG powerhouse like Square didn't pay more attention to this serious flaw. Bottom line: you'll have a great time with this action/RPG that appeals to all ages and difficulties. It's tons of fun to play with and against Disney characters that you know and love. It's an amazingly addictive game and I can't wait for the sequel. If you are any sort of an RPG fan or an action fan and you own a PS2, you MUST buy this game. Written on November 5, 2007 Summary: only the best video game ever These kingdom hearts games are the best RPG'S games ever in my opinion and I am anxiously awaiting the third installment. It is not only a good game but a game that can teach you alot about life if you pay attention to the story while you are playing. SIMPLY THE BEST RPG GAME EVER  Written on October 8, 2007 Summary: Good concept, but... I have been wanting to play this game for a while. Friends of mine hyped it up and are obsessed with it, not to mention I am a huge Disney fan and to a lesser extent sorta like the Final Fantasy series. So I finally borrow the thing and quickly learn that its not all its cracked up to be. The idea behind it is great. The story is even kinda cool. It makes me smile to see all my favorite Disney characters interacting in situations and worlds outside of their usual. The graphics are smooth and well done. I gave it a few stars for fun just because my favorite Disney characters are everywhere. I just can't get over the gameplay and the poor camera design. Half the time I can't even see the enemies that I'm supposed to be attacking and end up attacking thin air. The camera is never where it needs to be, and control of Sora is abominably slow compared to the quick movements of the enemies. I cannot look up or down unless I press select and thusly become immobile. I mean, maybe its just me, but I like to see where I'm going, especially if I'm running around in the tree tops and can easily fall or am in the middle of a critical boss fight. =P So far, there is no easily accessible gauge to show me just how I'm leveling up (it requires navigating through a few menus) or even any indication as to how much XP I get from killing a monster. Healing items are few and far between. It is very easy to run out just in leveling up and not have any more available to you before your next boss fight where you end up screwed. (And no, it doesn't make it any better that you eventually get Cure magic.) Bosses are either obnoxiously easy, or frustrating to the point of being ridiculous. You have to have a lot of patience to handle the repetition. You end up in the same areas over and over again, with the same annoying music, and half the time it takes near-impossible jumps to get to items or to finish tasks. Areas are graphically pleasing, but not very elaborate and rather small, simplistic, and empty in design. I have to say this is the first game that's ever given me a headache just from the camera mechanics alone. Add everything else into the mix and it leaves me very frustrated and wanting to throw my controller across the room. I think they tried to make it too much like the Final Fantasy games in mechanics when in reality the type of game that it is and the way they've set things up calls for a completely different style of gameplay. |
