This is an AWESOME game!!! It has a lot of Disney and Final Fantasy Characters in it, and the plot is actually pretty decent! There is this 14 year old boy named Sora, and he is on an Island with his friends (he doesn't actually live on the island, but he goes there a lot) named Riku (15) and Kairi (14). They are going to use a raft to leave the Island and visit others Worlds, but the night before they leave, the Island is attacked by the power of Darkness. Riku goes to the Darkness, and Sora recieves the Keyblade. The Darkness takes Sora to a different World, where he meets Donald and Goofy. Together they travel to different Worlds, looking for Riku, Kairi, and The King. It is somewhat challenging, and it is very fun. I REALLY recommend buying it, especially if you have or are a kid. You won't be disapointed!

BTW, could someone please tell me who Nainme is? I know a Namine, but no Nainme! Is she in Final Mix or something? And what is it with her and Riku?

Kingdom Hearts is one of those games that just dares your dad to break down and rekindle those old Disney inspired, family filled, evenings. Some adults may feel that this game may be a bit out of their league, but you'll be amazed at how this game is capable of keeping even the most grown up of us around. First of all, the game isn't terribly difficult to get the hang of or to defeat (even on the higher difficulty setting). And most of the action focuses on constant button mashing much in the vein of your typical Hack n'slasher. You play the as the young boy named Sora who lives on a far away island with his friends Riku and Kairi. The friends all share dreams of adventure and travel. The story takes off from their plunging our hero into a strange yet familiar series of worlds filled with all the Disney inspired goodness most of us have grown up to know. The story itself has it's intrigueing moments, and yet others where everything is completey predictable. Sora levels up as you gain experience which you'll recieve for hacking down enemies. And you'll obtain some pretty interesting combat combonations for reaching new levels. You will be utilizing magic spells as well, though given the relative ease of difficulty, you might be more inclined to simply attack most things. I have found personally that the true challenges in this title lie in mastering all the mini games and completing the colloseum and sub events. And there quite a number of extras to engage in when not busy following the story. As you move along you'll come face to face with a host of Disney characters both good and evil, and will even adventure with a handfull of them as your NPC sidekick (who by the way levels up and gains combos like Sora). SquareEnix has even gone so far as placing it's flagship Final Fantasy series characters into the mix. Don't hold your breath FF fannies, the cast of character's you have come to know are somewhat dumbed down to fit the theme of this Disney inspired game. Of course that's just a bit disapointing, but it's a minor gripe. There is voice acting throughout most of the game's major storyline and it is generally done quite well, though it's a little strange hearing the character's speak and then go straight into dialogue in some small cases. The graphics and movie segments are of typical SquareEnix quality, and the many towns or areas, fields, and large landmasses you'll travel never get dull or repetitive. You will be traveling to many worlds created by Disney and a few by SquareEnix themselves, via a gummi ship. Here's where the all the vivid environments and attention to detail kind of dip. Your ship resembles a leggo constructed model with wings. And the backdrop is a series of swirling psycodellic patterns littered with blockish obstacles. Even the enemy ships look like leggo toys! It's nothing to write home about but nothing to worry over either, considering that you'll also be capable of constructing your own unique ships block for block or using blueprints found in game. These travel sequences are short and pan out to be like a space shooter arcade game. The soundtrack is very pleasing and filled with revamped or origonal Disney tunes, inlaid with some SquareEnix origonals for an epic classical feel. After it's all said and done, this is a good game with easy controls and difficulty, and is easy to get into and engrossed in. I feel there is always enough going on to keep up interests without getting repetitve. And there is enough good gameplay to get all age groups involved without having to negotiate with your inner child. I give it a 4/5!

One of the best titles on the PS2

Kingdom Hearts is a game made by Square-Enix that combines the Final Fantasy license and the Disney license. Before the game came out, people thought that Square has finnaly lost it. But this is now one of my favorite titles.

Graphics- 4 out of 5
Sound- 5 out of 5
Gameplay- 5 out of 5

At times the game can be difficult so you will need a strategy guide from Bradygames written by Dan Birlew.This is a great title and will keep you busy for a while. Do yourself a huge favor and pick this game up.

one of the best

This game will be in my top five forever. Disney and Final Fantasy characters merged perfectly. The music is phenomenal throughout the game and the bosses provide a good challenge. The battle system is really easy to get use to and I think all ages can have a good time with the storyline. This is the best game playstation has and it's definitely a classic that will be remembered for years!

BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!

My dad first got me KH, and I thought, "Why are Donald and Goofy sitting next to that spiky-haired Japanese Anime dude?" I didn't think it would be any good. I started playing and got stuck for two days trying to find a rope. I'm not kidding. My dad tried it, and immediately got stuck on the second boss. I finished it in about three months, because I also got stuck on the fifth to last boss, but got a better weapon (with the advice of a friend), and finished the game. I was elated, for my dad said he'd buy me KH2 when I finished the first. I worked the entire rest of the day so that he would buy it immediately. After I got stuck on the eighth to last boss, and wrote a walkthrough, and the dialouge and storyline of KH, which are now 101 pages long. I am in the middle of writing my adaptation of KH2. The two games are my favorite of all videogames. BUY THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I moved for a few days.

When people speak of video games they played for hours and hours, Kingdom Hearts comes to my mind. I love this game of rmany many reason's.

I am an RPG fan, its all I really enjoy, and this is one of the best!The setting; it is still very Disney, but child to adult and teens alike can enjoy this setting that brings back alot of memories! And the battles are specatacular, however a dowside is that the camera on this game is a ltlle ... "messed up" during battles! By using a 'Lock On' feature on your opponet, the camera does not fly around crazily as much, but stays onto the opponet you locked onto.

The battles require strategy, but the game isn't so difficult people will get stuck. You wont need to worry about dying in a non boss battle, it wont happen! Some bosses are a challenge, and I have died a few times, but it is not hard to defeat any bosses. The game make sup for this by haveing the game be a nice 60 or 70 hours, and if you do everything( there are quite a few sidequests) ,it can reach a cool 100 to maybe 120. Howver, thos ehours are my experience, Im sure someone has something bigger or smaller.

The Story. This game has an amazing story that kepps you interested and engaged throughout the game, and continues on into an even better story in the second game.

I've been through this game 3 times on easy, 2 on hard, I love it, and you will enjoy it also. Its addicting, fun, and a darn good game!

Very fun and entertaining... at first

Pros:
- The graphics are awesome.
- You can see a bunch of Disney and Final Fantasy characters.
- You can explpore a bunch of Disney movie worlds
That's about it for the pros.
Cons:
- Sora and Kairi both look, talk, and act like 9 year olds.
- It's really really hard to take this game seriously (It's a mix of Final Fantasy and Disney, what did you expect?)
- Donald and Goofy get in the way a lot.
- The camera angles are AWFUL!
- The boss battles are either boringly easy or extremely hard.
- Flying the Gummi Ship is a waste of time and the graphics are awful.
- Everyone has gigantic clown shoes.
- You can't skip the cutscenes.
- I was almost at the end when I accidentaly deleted all my saved data and had to start ALL OVER AGAIN.
So if you only bought this to see the supposedly amazing ending (which I still haven't gotten to thanks to my little mishap) return it, read about the ending online, and buy the much better Kingdom Hearts 2.

One of the best RPG's every made

At first Kingdom Hearts didn't have me interested but after hearing everyone talk about how great it was I decided to give it a shot. The game was awesome, the graphics the story line and all the different things you can do in the game is just crazy.

Points of craziness:

1. You can make your ship look however you want.

2. You can have Jack Skelington be your ally in Halloween town and you fight with the beast in some crazy castle thing.

3. You get turned into a fish.

4. You get a giant Key to beat things with.

5. You get to fight Sephiroth (or however you spell his name) and the Ice Giant for Hercules in the stadium.

6. You get to hit the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonder land with your giant key.

There's a lot more so I suggest anyone to buy the game and try it out and find your own points of crazy stuff. The game was fun, one of the funiest games ever.

Squaresoft has brought yet another great fantasy game to the world but this time with a suprisingly good disney twist

This is an amazing game. The graphics, sound, and gameplay are superb. This game will delight players for a long time and is great fun to replay again and again. The combat is in real time, which is different than the previous Final Fantasy games, and the game features characters from both disney movies and final fantasy games. The story is great as well. I would reccommend this game to everyone. It is truly great.

Not the best game ever, but pretty darn close!

I bought kingdom hearts about a week ago, and after the first hour i was hooked (the beginning is a bit boring). Also, the voice acting is great. Donold Duck sounds like himself, so does goofy, and those that dont have the original voices sound good enough. Building a gummi ship can be fun too. Basically a gummi ship is a ship made out of lego like pieces which can shoot lasers. Lastly, while I wouldnt consider this game easy, i havent gotten stuck yet. The game can be frustrating though. Like when youre fight a bunch of bad guys and your guy decides to fall off a cliff.
So, basically i would recommend this game to anyone who doesnt think disney is stupid, and likes fun.
