The Good: Useful A.I. The new combos take out a bit of the action's button mashing and the beautiful story and settings make it enjoyable to play and look at.

The Bad: Having to go back to previous worlds can seem repetitive. Game mechanics make it difficult to use the Drive forms and Summons in the middle of a battle.

Even for veteran players the first few hours of storyline are as confusing as an episode of Lost. However, this is what motivates you to continue playing for hours on end to the finish.

The introduction of the Drive forms proves to very useful in defeating large hordes of enemies but needs practice to access quickly. Your abilities also allow you to use a variety of combos. Your A.I. also prove to be very useful at times with Goofy assisting in aerial combos and Donald acting as a team healer.

Unfortunately having to revisit worlds can be frustrating for those who want to find out what happens next in the main plot. But at least it does eventually happen, unlike Lost.
