Kingdom Hearts 2 is definitely an improvement from Kingdom Hearts. However, the game is still a button masher.

I found Kingdom Hearts 2 okay, but the core gameplay is not very exciting. Meeting Disney characters does not help the game either. The beginning with Roxas was definitely fun, but the game goes down hill from here. I must say, the story has greatly improved since the first Kingdom Hearts, but the core game is still the same. I thought the game was lackluster personally, but fans of Kingdom Hearts would definitely enjoy this. The reason why I don't like this game is that Disney makes the game feel to childish. It seems like Disney characters were put in to increase sales. Or, Square just didn't know what to do with Kingdom Hearts. Overall, I still find the Kingdom Heart series overrated and only fans would enjoy this.
