"There are many worlds, but they share the same sky…One sky, one destiny." What started as a random encounter between a Square Soft and Disney executive on an elevator has grown into one of the most epic collaborations since Yalta. The fruit of their union is Kingdom Hearts. In this action/RPG, the worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy cross-over, and familiar characters such as Cloud Strife and Donald Duck fight side-by-side with a host of original characters. Sora, Donald and Goofy return to continue the search for Riku and King Mickey. But things have become more complicated than they expected. The soul devouring Heartless are still rampant in many worlds and Sora must use the keyblade to close the dark portals that let them in. As old adversaries return, new ones emerge with more mysterious intentions: A group named Organization XIII seeks to draw Sora into their fold by manipulating the strange creatures called Nobodies. Stranger still is that the members of this group seem to know Sora, but by a different name.If I said much more than that I wou be spoiling one of this games many plot twists. Expect the story to get intriguing right off the bat and continue to surprise you throughout. If you haven’t played the previous two games you might be confused at first but you’ll still be able to enjoy the game.With new enemies, Sora will need new powers to keep the darkness at bay, and there are many in this game. Your primary method of attacking is the keyblade, which can be equipped with various key chains that give it new forms and abilities. Sora can also unlock many new moves as the game continues. I like that none of the weapons are simply more or less powerful, they are just better suited for different play styles.Drives are probably the coolest and most powerful ability Sora has. After charging up the drive gauge by collecting spheres, Sora can absorb one or both of his companions to increase his own powers, giving the player about a minute of rampaging time. Different forms unlock special powers, including dual keyblade fighting and hyper magic abilities. Using the drives often will level them up, allowing you to eventually equip drive abilities in your regular form.Magic is much more useful this time around as your MP gauge will automatically recharge whenever you run out. You can set up to four spells with shortcut commands making them easily accessible. This is helpful since using magic through the menu is difficult and takes too long to be useful. Items (which are just as difficult to use through the menu) can also be assigned to shortcut commands, but this takes space away from your magical repertoire. Summon spells call a character to fight with you for a short time. If you don’t trust the AI, you can take direct control of their attacks.Reaction commands are another new addition that adds style to ordinary combat and can make boss battles seem like choreographed movie scenes. A green triangle appears over enemies when a reaction command is available. If the player hits the button in time, Sora will swing by their tail, deflect a shot at them or something else appropriate to the situation. In boss battles, these activate elaborate cut-scenes and require you hit the triangle button at several precise moments. If you learn how to trigger them, reaction commands can give you an edge over stubborn enemies.The hallmark of Kingdom Hearts is the ability to team up with your favorite Disney character.Read full review
Kingdom Hearts 2 picks up where Chain of Memories left off. Sorta. The game starts off rather slowly in Twilight Town but not as Sora, as Roxas. After about three grueling hours during Roxas's intro, the title screen appears and then, KH2 finally picks up where COM left off. The heroes, Sora, Goofy, and Donald awaken from a memory repairing slumber and learn that their adventure is not over, even after defeating Ansem. Their battle against Organization XIII from COM still continues and now face new enemies known as Nobodies. Nobodies are the counterparts of Heartless, being a strong person's husk after losing their heart. Organization XIII seeks a mass number of hearts so Sora and company must stop them. Now that the spoiler-free summary is done and over with, let's get to the game. KH2 improves on almost everything you'd complain about from KH. Graphics are obviously much more better and sparkly this time around. The camera no longer gets in the way so much, however adjusting it could be the only issue. Using the Gummi Ship is also a lot more interesting where you're not just flying through some colorful space portal and doing nothing but shooting whatever that comes your way. You're shifted around at high speeds that feels like a Sonic game. The Gummi Route leading to each world has it's own unique design and its very own miniboss at the end. For KH2, the battle system is perfect. New to the battle system are Drive Forms, Limit Commands, and Reaction Commands. Drive Forms are new costumes for Sora that are either beefed up in Strength, Magic, or both and instead of using one keyblade, you're equipped with two or three, depending on the form. Each form has its own unique way of leveling up and when you reach a required level, Sora will be able to equip abilities like gliding in his normal form. The "cost" of using these Drive Forms are absorbing one or all of your party members. Limit Commands are flashy moves Sora can use when teaming up with world characters such as Auron or his usual party members, Donald and Goofy. Reaction Commands are timed using the triangle button to perform some effective attack against an opponent. All of these elements make battle interesting. Storywise, it's intriguing. So intriguing that it overweighs actual gameplay. Now let's get to why this game did not recieve a perfect score. Although new and original worlds have been added, most are too short and lack any exploring elements. Summons were so lacking that they may as well just take that whole part out. Most of the bosses could easily be defeated simply with brute strength, making Magic unnecessary. My biggest issue is the lack of difficulty. Even in Proud mode, the game is too easy. Drive Forms were hardly needed and often neglected since you could mow down your enemies without transforming. You could still survive bosses without using Reaction Commands. You can't get lost in worlds and it is hard to actually die. This is expected of a game with a Rating of 'Everyone 10+.' If you don't want to be insulted, head immediately into Proud Mode and DON'T equip things like Slide Dash. Kingdom Hearts 2 gets a near perfect score. It's an improvement on KH and has a nice story. Too bad it is too easy and lacking of any gameplay when compared to cut scenes. Music isn't really too special to go into but it isn't horrible either. (Atlantica an exception) Those who care for voices will probably rip their ears off.Read full review

I purchased Play Station 2 for my 2 daughters a long time ago. As time went by, it got pushed to the wayside and forgotten. I recently set it up for my 10 yr. old nephew and in the process found Kingdom Hearts 1. I had a blast playing that one and decided I wanted to continue onto Kingdom Hearts 2. It takes quite a while to get to the meat of the story, for me - an older player at age 50 - it took about 4 hours to get the the actual Sora adventure part. The new worlds are great. . . there are previous worlds from the old game too. The graphics are wonderful. Somebody had a great imagination. I enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean Section and Mulan and the Lion King area greatly. The gummy ship area still confuses me and doesn't seem to be a real part of the game, just a side amusement. Overall, it is a great game.Read full review
This games was puchased as a Christmas gift for a 10 year old boy. He already owned the first Kingdom Hearts game and had this game on his Christmas wish list. The game was purchased over other games for these reasons: childs desire to have game, rating on game (not Mature), price (under $30) and availability. This game has many levels for extended play, keeps a persons interest. Is interesting for children as well as adults. Does not have swearing or nudity (very important to purchaser). I appreciate the designers efforts to keep the PS2 game fun and interesting enough for a child to request it while keeping the language, music and graphics clean. I would recomend this game for children as well as teens and adults. The child that this game was purchased it for has spent a lot of time enjoying it. Thank youRead full review
