when i first heard of this game i thought it was a joke.
but square actully went through with it! this has got to be THE worst idea in the video game world.its hard to take a game seriously when goofy is in it. can you imagine, goofy fighting against cloud?! i cant beleave anyone would even consider this game! dont waste your money. if you want a good rpg go with squares other accomplishments and steer clear of disney. [Money] tword disneys next movie is what this is. if you have any sense at all you will pas this game up and not look back

Invitingly Good Looking!!! AWESOME!!!

The person who said this game looks like a joke and sucks is probably an person who sucks at video games and doesn't like challenging ones. I will admit when I first heard of the idea a few months ago I thought it was kind of corny but now that I look at it it looks like a game that I would love to spend$50 on. It has over 100 disney characters plus old ff characters. Can't wait till comes out. Hope you buy it and if you do enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS GAME IS ONE OF SQUARE'S BEST

... This game contains some of the best graphics and gameplay of any game on the market. It was completely developed by Squaresoft, by the creators of Final Fantasy. There are only a few camera issues. This game is not kiddy, it flows very nicely, and a good relief from the typical RPG. Characters from Final Fantasy games return, as well as all the famous Disney Characters. This title is a very imaginative and fun game, and i would recommend it to anyone with a brain.

Uhhhhhhh.....

At first, this game may seem childish because of the 100 or more disney characters that apear in it and the look of the bright grapics and the fact that it is made disney.... The games grapics are great. Somtimes it feels like you are wathing a Disney movie. Gameplay isnt perfect, but it is close to it. With easy to use controls for people who [are not good] at pressing lots of buttons at onece. For the Square fans, there will be a variety of final fantasy characters making apperances. Including Cloud, Cid, Aeris (thought she was dead... maby they finally figured to use a pheonix down on her) , Yuffie, Squall (doesnt look like him though)and lots of others (how very exiting!). The storyline is good and will keep even older gamers glued to the TV. Dont pass this game up no matter what your friends tell you, or what your sick little mind thinks.

the best action RPG game ever made

at first i was very sceptical about this game. i mean, disney and square? why would both of them team up to make a video game? it wasn't until i saw a lot of previews for it and actually played the game myself that i totally changed my point of view. the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is very unique and very original. it's also pretty easy to get used to. the storyline has to be one of the best ever created by square. about the only flaw that this game has is the out of control camera angles. the camera sometimes doesn't stay the way you want it to and it jumps around alot making it slightly difficult to defeat the enemies. but who cares about a crazy camera anyways. :) i just have to say that i absolutely adore this game [i have beaten it 3 times already and counting...] and that every RPG fan and/or disney fan, not to mention fans of square :), should add kingdom hearts to their video game collection.

Thumbs up to Disney/Squaresoft

I played this game at the E3 convention in Los Angeles, and it is truly one of the best Disney games I've played. Visually beautiful, and equally fun to play. The fight sequences remind me of Zelda. The Halloweentown level ROCKS!! In the past Disney has tried very hard to come up with a game that tries to please kids as well as adults, and I often found myself dissapointed. Not with this one though. It's amazing.

I hate people who judge games before they even play them

Having played a demo version of this game at E3, I agree with another review. The fighting system is similar to Zelda (don't think Dark Cloud; think Ocarina of Time). To a different review that tried to muck up the game's rating on this site: to quote the televised FF10 commercial "Don't believe a word until you play it." This is not simply "another horrible attempt at games by Disney". Squaresoft obviously wouldn't let Disney Interactive sit down on the job for this masterpiece. The graphics on the PS2 are pushed to their limits yet again, the gameplay gets you hooked VERY quickly (again, think THE LEGEND OF ZELDA; a kid can slash with the sword, but the more complex actions take some practice) and the game is actually rated E. My 6-year old sister saw the trailer for the game on the demo disc that came with the most recent edition of PS2 Official Magazine; she doesn't like to watch me play video games, but when saw the trailer for this game, she became as ready to get it as I am.

All in all, I've pre-ordered it, and so should you ;)

What Will Undoubtably Be THE Release of The Year

When Kingdom Hearts was first announced, many thought Square had finally lost it. Not only had they partnered with Disney, a company that Square has seemingly little in common with, but Square was also throwing its own creations into the mix. The game was described as Final Fantasy Meets Disney.

However, as it has many times over, Square has proven the critics wrong. Kingdom Hearts has gorgeous graphics that pushes the PS2 to its limits. Many of the Disney characters look and move as if they were ripped right from their respective cartoons. Disney has also spared no expense on voice acting, in many cases brining back a character's original actor when it came time to give the incredibly large ensemble cast voices

The game also features returning characters from Square's reknowned Final Fantasy series. Specifically, the game will feature Cloud, Aeris, Cid and Yuffie from FF7; Squall from FF8; and Tidus and Wakka from FF10. One of the most interesting scenes from Kingdom Hearts is a scene where Donald Duck and Aeris have a conversation.

Fans of the Secret of Mana will be excited to learn that the battle system is more like it than Final Fantasy. Fighting is done in real time and with little menus. Even spells can be fired off with menu-less ease by linking them to buttons on the control pad. This gives a very interesting feel since many of the spells come from the Final Fantasy series. Summoned Monsters are also used in Kingdom Hearts, but this time around they're Disney characters. Simba, Bambi, Dumbo, and Tinkerbell all come to your aid in battle.

In short, buy this game. Younger fans will enjoy the nearly limitless cast of Disney characters. Older fans and Square veterans will enjoy seeing familiar characters and the type of story that has made Square games the standard for RPGs. The story, while light-hearted at times, can also become incredibly dark. The packaged is rounded out with incredible music, not the least of which is "Light", an English version of Utada Hikaru's song "Hikari". For more info, visit Square's game site...

Ok, I originally hated this game from day one, before I played it. But once I played it I actually kind of like it now.
I've never liked disney much, but I am a hardcore square fan, and I do like the final fantasy characters.
The disney characters are not overly sickly [weak], and the game has a somewhat more complex storyline than I originally thought. Envolving many worlds being one and such.
But it plays extremley well, has very VERY nice animation and voice acting (except for lance bass doing sephiroth - that is truly an insult).
All in all it's very good but still not as good as most of square's other non-ff side projects like Chrono Trigger/Cross, Legend of Mana, or Mario RPG.

Played a preview version

It's difficult to express what this game is like. It's just weird and surreal playing an RPG/action with Disney charachers. Jack Skellington shows up! It's just... look, just buy the darn thing!
