...music together. Then along came Kingdom Hearts. Packed with beautiful graphics that looked so good you'd often swear it was hand drawn, and with a musical score to leave fans dribbling, it was one of the most raved about games ever. Square fans and RPG fans loved the... well, RPG side of it, and appearances from characters like Squall, Cloud, and Sephiroth, whilst Disney fans loved the huge catalogue of characters, including Donald and Goofy as two ... ...completely.
Which is where Kingdom Hearts ends. Naturally, the baddies are destroyed and the heroes win, but it ended in a way that screamed for a sequel. A good sequel. Here it is.
Kingdom Hearts 2 effectively promises more of the same, hence the lengthy introduction covering the old game. It has more characters, more attacks, and more to the story to discover. Taking place some years after the original, we see a refreshed and somewhat older Sora ...

Advantages: Problems from the previous games have been fixed, great cameo-list, fantastic presentation with gorgeous CG cutscenes, top notch voice acting and much more. Disadvantages: The gameplay, while indeed great, is weak compared to the rest of the game.
...Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Kingdom Hearts is a strange game, as it mixed the gameplay of Final Fantasy with the characters of the famous Disney cartoons. It was a fantastic game, and now the sequel is here. -(The Story)- You re-take the role of Sora, a guy with spiky hair, big shoes and a giant key thing called 'Keyblade'. In the previous game the Keyblade chose Sora to wield the keyblade as he has the right qualities to use it. The majority ... ...gameplay components in the previous Kingdom Hearts game. The gummi ship levels have improved, but they still revolved around on-rail flight shooting. There is a reason to replay the gummi ship areas which is to either collect treasure or to just play around with the rich create-a-ship builder, but as with the first game, there is just something unimpressive about the gummi ship levels, and it's likely that after you play through each level once, ...

Kingdom Hearts 2 (From now on KH2) - After a FOUR year wait, the sequel finally came out. I have never been so impatient for a sequel to come out as I have for this one. I work in the games section of Virgin Megastores and it was such a tease knowing that the games where sitting, waiting to be played two days before the official release date in the stockroom and I knew I couldn't touch it. The night before the release I felt like a child waiting ... ...<
KH2 starts off where Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Melodies finishes. This was a game exclusively for the game boy advance. Sora, Donald and Goofy have been in a deep sleep for the past year to help them regain their lost memories. Despite an amazing start with scenes (in breath taking graphics) featuring both previous games and Sora's journey throughout you actually start as a boy called Roxas in Twilight Town. This caused some serious confusion for ...

I finally decided to get this game, and all I have to say is wow. I thought this game would be horrible, but it's actually really good, in fact, better than any game I ever played! There's everything in this game; action, adventure, music, power! I completely fell in love with this game and I think everyone else will too. This game has an extremely original, never before used story line. This game has characters from many Final Fantasy games and ... ...yet complicated. This is because many things happen at once. There are basically two story lines. One is you live on a small but peaceful island called Destiny Island. You are teenage boy named Sora. With two of your friends, Riki and Kairi, you all dream about visiting other worlds far away from the island. You three decide to make a raft and travel away from the island to find these other worlds. One day, the island was taken over by black shadows ...

Advantages: Excellent Combat system and Story line Disadvantages: too many worlds from the first revisited, Difficulty uneven at times
When kingdom hearts first came out in 2002 I thought to myself as Im sure everyone else did "What the hell Disney and Final Fantasy mixed together??!!", a strange concept it might seem but they actually blend together very well. Sure the idea of fighting alongside Goofy, Donald and Mickey mouse might seem childish, but KH2 appeals to the more mature market as well by having cameo appearances by characters from a number of FF titles (Squall, Cloud, ... ...abilities, it becomes very useful in fights against strong enemies and bosses.
Altogether I think Kingdom Hearts 2 is an excellent game, I found I very hard to find any real problems with it, as it makes up for little gripes with its excellent combat system and story line. ...

...of all time has arrived. Kingdom Hearts 2 is everything we ever wanted it to be and so much more. A game with intensely strong narrative and enjoyable gameplay all tied in together with the merging of both Square-Enix and Disney licenses. The game much like the first starts you off slow, but will soon have you asking more questions than you had when you first started the game. With the immersion of a new character and a story to make anyone's head ... ...you may be aware, the Kingdom Hearts platform for areas and playable regions is not like that of the average RPG. Instead of spanning one planet and its various countries and cities you will find yourself traveling through worlds with the Keyblade as your guide. Among the worlds in true KH fashion are various popular Disney worlds featured in either movies or television. As you progress through the game, unlocking new worlds and meeting new characters, ...

...the second games in the Kingdom Hearts (KH) Series and by far much better than the last one. The storyline is brilliant as you play as Sora and battle your way through different realms and defeat many different creatures to obtain your goal. The graphics have been masively enhanced in this second installment of KH and you can really tell. The cut scenes are much more detailed than actual gameplay but that is only to be expected. The game is a good ... ...length unlike they did with KH1 in which is was much too long. Although the game follows it's quite childish stereotype there is something quite sinister about the game which gives it that interesting egde that many games do not have. This game feels extremely realistic when you are playing it and you can really get caught up in it. Although this game is quite old i feel it is one of the best games that has been made for a long time. If you are looking ...

Advantages: Lots of playtime and things to do Disadvantages: Very frustrating sometimes
...of my online friends recommended Kingdom Hearts to me one day and sent me a copy of the game. I was hooked straight away. Im a big final fantasy fan, so the mix of characters and Disney was a good concept in my eyes. I did, however, have a few problems with no. 1. SE fixed the not being able to jump and cure at the same time problem, and made casting spells a lot easier in KH2. As with the dalmations in KH, KH2 has a lot of a side games to complete ... ...an alternative ending to the game, which im working on now. A hard fight with Sepheroth wins you the best weapon in the game and also a heart warming scene with Cloud. The mix of old and new disney characters made this a lot better than KH but i wish the did something better with The Little Mermaid compared to the first game. I wanted to kick Ursulas ass again! Hours of gameplay involved and lots to do will keep you from getting bored. ...

I really loved the first kingdom hearts, especially the story and the chareters. like its prequal, kingdom hearts 2 is just as fascinating and even more touching. soras quest to find his friends and vanquish his dark enemys goes on, and we slowly discover his dark other half roxas, and the alternative world of the nobodies. the graphics are especially magical and picturesque, and the stories are accompanied with a fabulous soundtrack which really ... ...the game is probably the repetative pattern of the worlds, and defeating large bosses. theres too much x-tapping, and much of the missions are handed to you on a plate. occasionally the game gets too sappy and loses the sense of adventure. this is due to donald and goofy, and while this is good for young gamers, the constant 'best friends sticking together' speeches can get too sugary. this game has such a good story its almost like reading a book. ...
