THIS is the game of the year! Overall, this game has lots of ups and ups and barely any downs! The ONLY part i hate is the storyline is veeery long! But thats what makes it long! Basically, this game's graphics, music, gameplay, and story line are all VERY very understandable! This game i would recommend over the new PSP or the DS! Not only is the game very long, you really would not get bored of it fast! This game with Disney charecters really add 10 stars to it alot! But the thing i liked the most was the story! The story makes you want to play more! In the beginning, everyone gets split up. It makes you want to play more to find the charecters. Very good cliffhangers, i have to say. I would recommend this game over than any other ps2 game, well either get Kingdom Hearts or if you can wait, get Kingdom Hearts II when it comes out! I want to get it immediatly, but ill have to wait until next April. Not only is the game itself perfect, i find that the charecters in the story all have to relate with Disney. Knowing them, Disney's second film/game is always worst than the first one. But still, you should get Kingdom Hearts II if your child you get it for becomes addicted to the game, like me. The Age group for this game, is also quite large. I would say get it for any child in the age of 7 - 21! This game isn't real good for beginning game players, but once you start playing this game, you CANNOT stop! CANNOT STOP!

Great for multi-age levels!

As a parent, I'm delighted to find a game that I can approve of and that suits both teen and pre-teen ages in our home. There are challenges suitable for the older one, but they are not critical to the game progression. This allows the younger one to play through the 'basic' game without the frustration of being unable to cope with levels beyond his or her ability. In addition, you can play "normal" or "expert" levels of gameplay. Hurray for an unexpectedly good melding of Squaresoft game quality and Disney family quality!

Jeez, Square is goin downhill

I loved final fantasy 7. Final Fantasy 8 was pretty good. Then Final Fantasy 9 was the worst game ive ever played. 10 was pretty bad too. But now Square is doing something different. Kingdom Hearts is a way to make money off previous characters. I doubt anyone would buy this game if Final Fantasy characters were not in it.

Lets be honest, its horrible. For once just admit Square made a bad game. The controls are the worst. Whenever you want to manipulate the camera, it goes spinning in the other direction. It took me like 3 hours just to beat this Alice in Wonderland level. And yes, it is a hack and slash game. All I do is hit X and the game locks into things and attacks. Pretty easy. There is no fun factor really.

Cool old Square characters. I can see why they had to add those in. Without Cloud or Squall the game would have been thrown out by most. Now dont just say my review is horrible because you like the game. Most of the reveiwers have not even played it. The plot is probably one of the worst plots ever. You lock doors that seemingly hold the entire worlds existence, and you need to close them before they are opened by the bad people. So the bad people are looking for the 7 princesses to open the ultimate door. Wow that took real genius, not. I bet Square thought of this whole game in one day. ALSO, this is just like all the other final fantasys. Your best friend of member of your party turns on you. Kairi or whatever turns to hate you because he wants your girl. Some witch tells him to hate you because you hang out with donald and goofy, and Kairi is just like "Yea, he should be hanging out with me. But I never want to be his friend again because he was so loyal to me!". Its kinda stupid that we were best friends one minute, now he wants to slaughter me. Well I can tell you that hes just a sad Seifer rip off from FF8.

Now before you go dissing my review, look at the facts I have given you. The only reason this games been gettin mad reviews is because 1)Square made it 2)Old final fantasy characters come back. Just before you go and play it let me warn you. It is NOT a final fantasy. IT IS A PLATFORM GAME. YOU WILL SPEND HOURS FALLING BECAUSE THE CAMERA AND CONTROLS. Now that I have given you this knowledge, do not give Square any more money.

Art, it is not.

Okay... to be honest, I'm almost neutral about this game. While it is fun and strangely addicting, it's also very frustrating and poorly made. I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with them mixing disney and final fantasy characters. I'll even go so far as to say it might have been a good idea, but I do have to say that making a game based on cameo after cameo... after cameo, is pretty weak. It takes the sense of continuity from the story. A game like this, an RPG, is an artform and should be treated that way.

Everyone agrees, the Gummi Ship sequences are horrible, you could probably survive flying from planet to planet just by taping down the fire button and going to get yourself a root beer. Also, the graphics in those scenes are not only lower quality than the rest of the game, but nearly as low as some 1980's arcade games. And there's the subject of believability... I found it hard to swallow that this void between worlds referred to as "interspace" would so closely resemble a canine obedience school obstacle course, or that the enemy horde would be satisfied to ocassionally kamikaze you and fire seemingly aimless shots in your general direction.

...The battle gameplay is below the talents of many hobbyist game programmers. I believe a great number of them would tell you that you should never be able to survive a game by mashing the same attack button over and over. I'm at the end of the game now and have the beginnings of something like carpal tunnel from hitting the X button so many times. It's not just that the gameplay is too simple, it's too repetitive. The enemies are so simple to defeat that the designers decided to bombard you with nearly endless masses of them in order to make it more difficult. What's more, they pop out of thin air as you approach, echoing the endless and unavoidable ambushes of the final fantasy series. There may well be people that would argue the merits of this system, but I've never been fond of it, it puts you too much on edge. If you are going to be ambushed incessantly, at least have the little demons jump out at you from an actual hiding place!

And yes, the camera guidance is despicable. In the Agrabah stage I was constantly falling from the difficult to reach upper tiers because in mid-jump the camera angle would suddenly spin fourty-five degrees around me.

*Sigh* despite these things, it may be worth buying used... or if you're giving it to some kid that will like it solely for the variety of favorite characters. While they may have had that in mind, I find it a poor excuse to make an inferior product

cool a** game

this game rule i borrowed the game for about 4 days and i clocked about 50 hours of play and still hadnt finished

the characters are cool because there are lots of characters to speak too and even fight with or against because the evil disney characters are your enemies and the good disney characters are your allys

lots of final fantasy characters make an appearanece
and even sephiroth makes an appearance and so does cloud, aeris, leon, tidus, wakka, and many more and the disney charaters arent losers because they fight very well and you also get to use magic from final fantasy ,

the most important thing is that you are not trapped in battles like in final fantasy where the screen gos blurry and you cant move any where else except the battle but in kingdom hearts you carry on as normal

the graphics is top quality and at the beggining you recieve a final fantasy type video which is top quality and very cool

my advice is that you buy it or live in shame

Take the intense and incredibility vivid worlds that have made Final Fantasy one of the most beloved video game series ever. Then add the magic of Disney and all those great memory's of the first time you saw Aladdin or Snow White. The Add the fact that Disney did not make the user interface and aloud Square to work it's magic. Now you're left with one of the best games to come out for the PS2.

Good concept, but...

I have been wanting to play this game for a while. Friends of mine hyped it up and are obsessed with it, not to mention I am a huge Disney fan and to a lesser extent sorta like the Final Fantasy series. So I finally borrow the thing and quickly learn that its not all its cracked up to be.

The idea behind it is great. The story is even kinda cool. It makes me smile to see all my favorite Disney characters interacting in situations and worlds outside of their usual. The graphics are smooth and well done. I gave it a few stars for fun just because my favorite Disney characters are everywhere.

I just can't get over the gameplay and the poor camera design. Half the time I can't even see the enemies that I'm supposed to be attacking and end up attacking thin air. The camera is never where it needs to be, and control of Sora is abominably slow compared to the quick movements of the enemies. I cannot look up or down unless I press select and thusly become immobile. I mean, maybe its just me, but I like to see where I'm going, especially if I'm running around in the tree tops and can easily fall or am in the middle of a critical boss fight. =P

So far, there is no easily accessible gauge to show me just how I'm leveling up (it requires navigating through a few menus) or even any indication as to how much XP I get from killing a monster. Healing items are few and far between. It is very easy to run out just in leveling up and not have any more available to you before your next boss fight where you end up screwed. (And no, it doesn't make it any better that you eventually get Cure magic.) Bosses are either obnoxiously easy, or frustrating to the point of being ridiculous.

You have to have a lot of patience to handle the repetition. You end up in the same areas over and over again, with the same annoying music, and half the time it takes near-impossible jumps to get to items or to finish tasks. Areas are graphically pleasing, but not very elaborate and rather small, simplistic, and empty in design.

I have to say this is the first game that's ever given me a headache just from the camera mechanics alone. Add everything else into the mix and it leaves me very frustrated and wanting to throw my controller across the room. I think they tried to make it too much like the Final Fantasy games in mechanics when in reality the type of game that it is and the way they've set things up calls for a completely different style of gameplay.

good game, not so easy

it is very confusing and I had to find some hints for playing the game, too much going back and forth hunting for things and if you miss something you sometimes can't go back to get it.
Overall I like it because it is not overly difficult so far.. I hate games that are so difficult that only experienced gamers can play.
We are to the 3 headed dog and can't get past this portion, I have to see if this can be skipped to go onto the remainder of the game play. Game is Not for beginners!!! like us..

Great, but could have been so much better

This seems like an unbeastable combination: Squaresoft and Disney. For the most part, it is quite enjoyable. Playing a since person in real time, you fight alongside Donald and Goofy. All the Disney characters are well done, although Donald Duck is horribly weak. (Goofy is a decent support character.) The Summons are on the weak side, and having levels up mean only a slight increase in one or two stats is rather weak. People play RPGs level up because they like seeing their characters get more powerful; the lack of power in your characters, especially Donald, is sad. It takes too long to get anywhere.

Still, you can't go wrong with the atmosphere, and its nice to see Aeris and Cloud being reunited after you win the game, even if the rest of the ending is weak.

The puzzles are too hard

Kingdom Hearts is an OK game but the puzzles are a bit hard for me. And also, it is hard to get around everywhere. It took me a few days to even complete Wonderland...and I even had a guide book but it didn't help me get around. I am not saying it is a bad game, it is just that it is hard to get around and solve puzzles.
