Kingdom Hearts II really shows that Squaresoft didn't die when it became Square-Enix.
The story was well developed and picked up after Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The 4 hour prologue in the beginning was a little much but after you get pas tthe initial start the game really picks up and throws you into the world of disney at full speed. The pirates of the Caribbeanwas a nice addition, I also enjoyed the characters and interactions quite a bit. It's really a great experience. And the ending really leaves room for a Kingdom Hearts III... Which i'm pretty sure beyond a shadow of a doubt they are in the process of making at this very moment...
I'd have to say I recommend anyone who is a square fan or disney fan to give this game a try. I hear this game also really addicts the ladies.... Though that uh... Shouldn't be a reason for you getting this game!!
