No game has ever been as innovative or creative as kingdom hearts

User Rating: 8.5 | Kingdom Hearts PS2
Aside from the addicting gameplay, good graphics, and entertaining story, just know this before anything else: kingdom hearts combines square/final fantasy characters with the entire disney gang of Donald, goofy, and, of course Mickey, among about 40 other disney characters. From the farthest reaches of the human imagination, and only from such places, do human beings come up with a story idea as farfetched, strange, and wonderfully entertaining as kingdom hearts. However, as we all know, opposites work well together, which is why the polar opposites of disney and square fit together so smoothly.

Now story is important, but what truly matters in the end is gameplay. Is the gameplay in kingdom hearts any less innovative then its story? Yes, it is pretty much the traditional old school, cliche, fast paced button masher, but is this kind of gameplay unsatisfying? Absolutley not. I guarantee you will spend endless swinging the keyblade through mounds of monsters and never wanting to stop. What truly stands out though are the boss battles, which are some of the hardest I have ever fought, but I like to think the challenge is part of the entertainment. The addicting game play coupled with the fantastic graphics, nostalgic music and great voice acting makes for one of the greatest rpgs ever made.
