Simply an amazing adventure from the enticing start to the flawless ending.

User Rating: 9.3 | Kingdom Hearts II PS2
This game really blew me away. It greedily consumed my game time and i found myself playing it all day and night. Its just an amazing adventure with a tweaked and versatile combat system. This is excluding its sheer vast gameplay, this game is like a giant huge world that you hit the tip of and go through.

A treat of nostalgic and classics and blended into a final fantasy feel that is extremely character/story driven (which can be a flaw if you considered frequent videos, cutscenes, talking, stalling, etc.) that is as equally enticing as it is fun. Sometimes its visually dated and shallow, but its passable and more often than not, the ambitious animations, moves, atmosphere make up for the lackluster graphics.

You explore many of disneys colorful environments, meet many characters and theres always a sense of excitement wondering whos the next icon you'll meet next.

Gameplay - 10
Impressive at the surface, thick and satisfying at the core.

Graphics - 7
Sometimes lackluster, sometimes ugly, but its passable and the cutscenes are absolutely stunning.

Sound - 10
Great voice acting (most are passable as the original with a few exception) colorful sound effects and a disney feel all in all.

Overall - 9.6
Simply an amazing adventure from the enticing start to the flawless ending.

I must lower the score, initial impressions fading, the quality in retrospective seems much less impressive.
