Kingdom Hearts

This is evidently one of the best games ever for the PS2 in the year 2002. The plot is great, and the characters...well, that's just it. I don't have a problem with Disney characters joining forces with Final Fantasy characters, but I was expecting to see a little more Final Fantasy. Hopefully, in KH2, there will be an expansion in this category, and perhaps make the adjoining of Square and Disney a little more noticeable. But, still, I'd give this game a 10/10 score.

This PS2 video game is great, and is also a Disney game you can all enjoy, and won't be ashamed to buy or mention to anyone that you played it. It combines Final Fantasy like characters, the game play and storyline and puts a Disney like storyline and characters in it. Ingenious! A very cute game with less gore, and blood, perhaps no blood or gore at all, you play as Sora a young spiky haired kid, who searches for his friends and has to work with Goofy and Donald. The other Disney character come from various films such as Peter Pan, Aladdin, Tarzan, etc. Anyways, the controls are easy, and it doesn't have the wait system like most RPGs do, it's more of an action adventure RPG game, much like The Legend of Zelda, or Castlevania, and mostly you control the main character while others attack randomly, but it still has a few things from other FF games or RPGs, for example you can still give items to other party members, like health or potions, and you can also level them up, and yourself as well, and can even switch allies as well, depending where you are. Overall, great graphics, fair controls, nice game play, it deserves a stunning 9! Thank you Disney, arigato gozaimasu Tetsuya Nomura-sama! So far the best Disney game.

Years in the making and hyped like crazy, Kingdom Hearts for the PlayStation 2 had me eagerly awaiting for months. Although not a big Disney fan, I salivated at the dream of seeing all the great Disney and SquareSoft characters together in one DVD game. When September 17, 2002 came, I ran out to get my copy and have been enthralled by this game's beauty, charm, and playability.

Kingdom Hearts features two stories, one, about a boy named Sora who is looking for his friends who have vanished. and two, Donald Duck and Goofy, who are looking for the missing King Mickey. The three have to work together when they find out that they hold the key from keeping the Disney worlds from being destroyed by The Heartless.

You'll travel through a number of classic Disney films such as Aladdin, Pinocchio, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. You'll meet all sorts of cameo appearances from Disney films and SquareSoft's Final Fantasy games. The games play like the Legend Of Zelda series, with real-time battling, you control Sora while the other two characters support you. You'll face classic bosses from the movies, such as Captain Hook and Jafar as the Evil Genie.

The graphics of this game are gorgeous, looking like an animated Disney film itself. The power of DVD games makes all the difference. The gameplay is good, too, although niggles with the camera get in the way. The sound is great, too, although I would have liked to hear the songs from the movies that are used as levels. Of course, the voice acting is first-rate, with one of the deepest casts ever put together. The premier child actor Haley Joel Osment voices Sora. You've got actors reprising their voice roles from the films such as James Woods(Hades), Gilbert Gottfried(Iago), and Dan Castelenatta(The Genie from the Aladdin T.V. series). You've got it all: pop stars like Mandy Moore (Aerith) and Lance Bass (Sephiroth), fading talents like Robby Benson and Chris Sarandon, the cool voice of Billy Zane, rising stars, even Tiny Toons voice for Babs Bunny (Tress MacNeille) is here. The voices for Donald and Goofy are spot-on accurate, too.

Put it all together and you've got a game that's a must own if you have the PS2. A truly landmark game, this proves that cross-marketing, mass-marketing, and celebrity firepower can work. Buy it! ***** out of *****!

I have always been a fan of both Disney & video games like Final Fantasy! A small challenge & memorable characters, this game caught my attention right away! After playing it, conquering the game, and the ability to save your place in the game, I just could not get enough of it! I recommend this game to anyone who's a fan of Disney & Squaresoft! Not just the gameplay, but knowing that 90% of the original voice casting from the movies & series of Disney was what also caught my attention in the credits! Being knowledgeable of entertainment and performer myself, I checked up on much of this! This Playstation 2 game's VERY WELL DONE! I certainly look forward to the sequel! BRING IT ON! I give this game, on a scale of 1 to 10, an: 11!

Kingdom Hearts, I'm saying this straight out, it is one of the best video games ever created. Video Games don't get much better than this, it is absolutely magical. The kind of magic you got from Disney 50 years ago with movies like Bambi or Snow White. The imagery is way ahead for its time. (2002) If you don't like this game, I have no clue what to say to you expect good luck ever liking a video game.

This movie is enchanting to the point you want the characters to be real. I mean it is quite an addicting game. It soothes your mind and takes all the problems you have on the real world. I give this movie a 10/10. I would rate it way higher if I could.
