Greatest story-based game I've ever played! Too bad it's over now :'(
Graphics: Amazing graphics. So dang realistic in Pirates of the Caribbean!
Sound: Great voice acting! Music rocks socks once more. The only bad thing is Jesse McCartney as Roxas...gross...
Gameplay: This is the only part where the game fails a little. It's a ridiculously easy game! One of the things I loved about the original was that all the boss fights were SO intense that you were literally shaking when you were through, maybe even sweating sometimes, or getting mad beyond belief when you died. In this game, death is not THAT big of a deal, all bosses are insanely easy (For the exception of Sephiroth and Xingbar) to the point where you're not gonna die unless:
1. You suck...
2. You stand still
3. You're on expert mode
4. You're 10 levels lower than your enemy
Also, the worlds are TOO linear. I understand that they wanted to take the platforming out of the game, but then again, taking a look at all the FF games, there's plenty of ways to make non-linear maps without the need of having tons of platforming.
Story: Amazing. Ties up all the loose ends.
Overall, this is a game that anyone and everyone should play. Regardless of how childish it might seem, it is truly a great game. It guarantees a great 30+ hours of amazingness!
