Absolutely gorgeous. The game is made by Square, so you know it's as in-depth as a game can be. The adventure is unreal, the graphics are simply beautiful. If you think you're "too old" for this type of game, think again. Everyone who loves RPG's and who loves Square (especially the Final Fantasy series) will be crazy about this game. A+

Great Game

Already have played the import version I must say this game is great. Yes people think Disney sucks but the integration of disney to a Squaresoft RPG was executed very well. The game is dark and challenging. The game is a mix of Secret of Mana and FInal Fantasy IX a deadly combination. If the game had flaws it is the way the Disney World felt small and compressed (come on Neverland had more than Big Ben and the Pirate Ship). The music is excellent and the animation is crisp and clear. A kiddy game? No. A Challenging Game? Yes. A game worthy of the Squaresoft Name? Definatley Yes. And is is better than Final Fantasy X? .................. Nah!

Perfect gameplay since Zelda(Ocarina) and Secret of Mana!

I admit that this game have a lot of things in common with the Final Fantasy series but DON'T confuse gameplay from graphics, Im my opinion this gameplay is very similar to Zelda 64 and Secret of Mana.
"WHY?"
Because of this:
1- You are walking in first person fighting,talking and swiming ect. (like in Zelda 64).
2- Your two friends are always behind you and attacking the enemy by themselfs with their own powers (like in Secret of Mana).
3- The more you fight the more you will improve your skills. (like in the two games).
4- You can see the enemy before you fight him and you will not fight him in a particullar battlefield like FF, you will fight him moving your character (like in the two games).
5- You will use specials methods for move to another stages.

Now for the unique ideas of the game:
1- The game have thousands of cinematics.
2- It have tons of dialog (voice acting).
3- You can summon your power in the middle of the battles.

Another thing: Im not saying that this game is better than Zelda 64 or Secret of Mana, Im just saying that this game is a must buy for those who like COOL action-RPGs.
P.S: I really like the voice of Aeris, Kaori and most of the Disney's characters but I didn't like the voice of Rikku.

Sayonara,adios,goodbye and please write me if you have questions because I like to answer them.

Walt Disney Would Be Proud...

First off, I originally bought this game on a whim, since it was only $20. I must say, I am very impressed with the game overall. A note: I am not a die-hard Final Fantasy fan or a role-playing fan per se. Well, this game features Sora, the main character, and he teams up with Donald, the magician, and Goofy, the knight of the Traverse Town (Disney) Kingdom. Control-wise, this game is fantastic. The controls are easy, and it was made for children. Additionally, the role-playing system is also easy to understand. The plotline essentially revolves around the Heartless (basically the children's version of Sin in Final Fantasy X), and the Heartless are attempting to take over the Disney Worlds, with some villains in Disney movies (e.g., Maleficient, Jafar, Ursula, Oogie Boogie, etc.). The graphics of the game is also pretty decent, with a combination of Final Fantasy and Disney infrastructure. There are two major cons in this game. First, frequently, the camera is often too close, and Sora gets blindsided by enemies off the screen. Second, some of the level designs in some levels is particularly convoluted (e.g., Hollow Bastion and Wonderland). Overall, this is a particularly great game for anyone, even children. The game is not too difficult nor too easy for children. With the exception of some of the hidden bosses (e.g., Clock Phantom and Sephiroth), the game is actually fairly easy. This game is highly recommended!

possibly the game of the year

I just got this game for my birthday and from the moment that I started playing I realized how lifelike the characters and worlds
are and then when I got to the fighting I noticed that the characters could actually move instead of the regular fighting style of final fantasy. plus it's just another level up because some of the actual characters are making appearances in the game like leon, yuffie, cloud and so on. just forget about the name and the fact that the re are disney characters are also there and try this awesome game. I garauntee you'll love it.

Outstanding

You are Sora, a young man who lives on an idyllic island with your friends. But the forces of evil in the shape of all your favorite Disney villains and their evil minions, the "heartless", are disrupting various worlds, including yours. Off you go to track down your friends and save the universe.
I'm not done with the game yet, but I have devoted 30 very enjoyable hours so far. There are automatic camera issues with this game. Sometimes it's mildly annoying, but it's very annoying when it affects game play. Missing a jump because of camera angle issues definately takes you out of the game, if only to momentarily curse the programmers.
Other than that this game is flawless. It might seem silly to fight along side Goofy and Donald, but it really is fun. Each new world is a treat. You meet and sometimes fight with Hercules, Tarzan, Alice, the Little Mermaid, Pinnochio (sp?), Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Final Fantasy characters, the list goes on and on.

Minus:
-Camera angle issues that can affect game play

Plus:
-Great graphics
-Huge universe
-Variety of worlds
-Great use of Disney's huge arsenal of characters
-The "gee whiz" effect of each new world

New PS2 games are very expensive, Kingdom Hearts is worth every penny.

Great First RPG

Well, this game is fun and entertaining, and that's what it's made for. The RPG elements in this game arent the best, but it's fun. The battles aren't turn-based, so it's a lot easier for younger kids to play. The game doesn't have much depth, but it is made for a younger audience. The characters are great! Sora is one of the first positive thinking Squaresoft MAIN characters I know of. Also, Kairi is a good hero for the girls. And of course the addition of Donald, King Mickey, Simba, Genie, Peter Pan, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, Chip 'n Dale, Beast, Belle, Pluto...well you get the point; they all go together to make a great game. Not very hard to beat, so if you want a game for your 7 to 14 year old(yes, some 14 year olds like it;) this is a great christmas gift which doesn't encourage negative behaviour. Good game for begging RPGers, but not the best RPG in the world, but still a barrel 'o fun! The moral of Kingdom Hearts is that there is good in every heart.

Remarkable Fusion of Worlds

Five minutes ago, I completed Kingdom Hearts, and I must say that I was very impressed by this join venture between Squaresoft and Disney. What could have been a terrible failure ended up, quite luckily, with a thoughtful storyline and revolutionary (for Square at least) battle system.
Although the characters are Disney, there is a definite, solid mark left by the Squaresoft team. The storyline, about being who lose their hearts and turn evil, and the original settings, such as Traverse Town and The End of the World, are heavily reminiscent of the Final Fantasy series. The clear world-creating expertise which shines through creates a gloss for the game. Eye candy has always been one of Square's selling points.
In terms of gameplay, I'd give Square an A-. I really liked the battle system, but the camera angles could sometimes make gameplay a little difficult. The item and ability systems were near perfect, with the possible exception of the somewhat tedious task of filling up Donald and Goofy, your supporting characters, with enough items to help you during battles.
To summarize this review:
-Good story
-Good graphics
-Great battle system
-Good ability system
-Fairly good gameplay
-Camera can be annoying
-Minor item system flaws
Overall: A-
Well done Square and Disney! Let's hope for a sequel.

Square has done it again

This is one of the best games I have ever played. All of those people who don't like it cause it's Disney find a real reason not to like the game. Only problem I had was that sometimes Donald and Goofy got more in the way than they helped, most of the time they were just good for taking damage away from Sora.

Loving this game so much...
