I got both and they are both great but... kingdom hearts 2 is more advance, better graphics, and pretty much better overall gameplay. But kingdom hearts1 has a way better story line and made me want to go back to it often. I guess I like the first better because its not so complicated. But if you want better gameplay and don't mind a pretty good but not perfect story, and don't mind the second being more complicated go for number2 but if you hate the things I just listed go for 1

Kingdom hearts is a game you should not play out of order since the storyline carriers over. 

Check out the blogs in my profile to check out all the ps1-2 games i think people should play.

yes i agree they are both great! KH is simple but a great game but then KH 2 is a bit more complicated with the intro of the react comand,forms, limits, ect. also KH 2+(final mix) is supposed to be good and i guess its coming out soon. both are great games and are well worth the money.

yes they should be played in order and if you will take the extra step you may want to purchase Chain of Memories for the gba

if you ever need help contact me or go to www.khinsider.com

goodluck

Get both, the first one is really cheap so it won't even dent your money pocket.

I'd also pick up Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo, all of the Ratchet and Clank games, Beyond Good and Evil, Marc Ecko's Getting up: Contents Under Pressure, Dead to Rights II, both Max Payne games and both Brother's in Arms games.

Hope my list helps.

Just get the original. Part 2 is crap. The story is incredibly retarded, you won't give a damn about who Roxas really is or who the hell are those nobodies. The worlds have been shrunk to microscopic proportions. It's so incredibly easy, even Proud Mode is a walk in the park. The game's beginning sequences is 6 hours of pain and torture. Sure the game is a beautiful piece of art with amazing sound production values, but underneath, an adventure for kids and newbie gamers.

Kingdom Hearts II is the better game, but it's also less challenging, which may be an issue for some.  KHI is good too, so buying it wouldn't be a bad desicion at all, but if you don't want to, you can always go read a summery of the story online before tackling KHII.

You need to play 1 before starting 2. It's a very linear game series so you really don't get the full experience if you don't play them in order.

1 or 2? Obviously, you'd play the first one first; and when you've beaten that one, you can move onto the second.

Kingdom Hearts II was crap compared to Kingdom Hearts 1. Honestly, the first game had a better story, better gameplay (except for the camera...) and better worlds. Also, the first game actually was challenging, unlike the second. Not saying KHII is horrible, it just isn't as good as the first one.

I would get both of them because one is nothing without the other, plus they are both cheap now because they have both been out for a while now :)

The original Kingdom Hearts is better. It's a simple story of friendship.

KH2's storyis pure japanese trying to be deep crapfest. Seriously it ruined the series for me,no desireon picking up the PSP game, and probably won't get KH3 if/when it comes out. The designs wreaked of tween/emo/skater influences. It's like an annoying child acting like he's a big kid. Then there are the battles which became even more button-mashy than a Dynasty Warriors game.

the gameplay in KH2 is much better than KH1, but the story is pretty convoluted. My 7 year old daughter LOVES it though.

The second one is best by far in my opinion. There is not more changes in bosses really but the drives were a great addition in my opinion:D

Kingdom Hearts 1 is a lot more platformer-ish, requiring you to think and a backtrack a bit, which can be fun for some, and a turn off for others. Kingdom Hearts 2 has more minigames and a partially enhanced combat system with drives and reaction commands, however, it is significantly straight-forward, and sometimes forces you to continue on into the level by blocking incorrect pathways, which can be good or bad depending on who you are. Some turnoffs may include the 2-3 hour tutorial and the restrictive arena, which way among the best parts of KH1.

Price isn't a factor, as they both are sold at the same price, $20. So it comes down to preference, though you may want to check out the first KH, just to connect the stories.

Kingdom hearts 2 is probably the better game, but the first one is a must have so you understand the story. There both good games though, so you won't go wrong with either one. My suggestion: buy both.
