much better than the first kingdom hearts (spoilers)
User Rating: 8.8 | Kingdom Hearts II PS2
what i liked: gameplay, graphics, music, and story are all awesome. the music is catchy and its perfect for every sitution. the graphics convey each characters likeness on spot the, FF and disney characters fit in flawlessly while the world contrast with the characters (pirates of the caribbean) add to the atmosphere of that world which makes the game more imersive. gameplay is accessible for its disney kiddle fans which makes the game way too easy overall and simple for seasoned gamers, but its still loads of fun. story was awesome and unpredicable making the fit perfectley with the last 2 KH games. its got more replay value than the last, getting all the weapons, seeing all the disney/square characters, fighting sephiroth, re-doing the now fun gummi ship routes will keep you busy at least pushing your time around the 60 hr mark in your first play through
what i didnt like: main thing game time is mostly cinematics. when you skip all the cinemas the time is reduced from 45ish to 20ish much lower if you know what your doing. age difference; sora is 15 but hes voiced by a 17 year old and it stands out (to me) ALOT, soras lines could have been better, and the character ageing seems weird. Sora, Riku and Kairi look much older than they actually are. Sora (15) could easily pass for 16-17 year old same with Kairi (also 15) and Riku (16) looks like a could be 19-20 considering he grew a LEAST a foot in 1 year... whats with that? of course im nitpicking here after all and have no effect on the games important factors
my point? buy this game if you like action RPGs or disney and if you like them both then your in heaven!
