Alright -- lots of love for the first game, BUT we are talking about Kingdom Hearts 2.

If you loved the detailed locations of the first game get ready to be dissapointed in this one. So simple its almost 2 dementional. Remember how you had to jump all over the place to find stuff...not so much.

Easy. The Easy mode actually got ME bored and I am one of the most none-gamers out there.

If you have a little kid that is crying (like I was) because they are getting killed on Easy Mode on Kingdom Hearts (1) give them 2 and have them learn the basics before going back to the original.

The plot is also slimmer than the last one, but for those of us that have been chewing on the bit waiting for this game...well...here it is...::shrug:: the animation is really nice...

Catch-22

I have bad news and worse news, the bad is that if you played Kingdom Hearts I you will absolutely hate Kingdom Hearts 2. The game play is non-exsistant, the story line is at the 1st grade level, and everything they did right in the first game is now gone. The worse news is that the only way one would enjoy this game is if they had never played KH1. BUT if you never played KH1 you will never understand KH2....even at its 1st grade level. You have to give SquareEnix credit, in order to mess up the Final Fantasy Franchise (they are responsible for the horrible FFX2 as well) this bad they really had to work hard. I am sorry to say that I am afraid that FFX is the last we will ever see of the FF world. But to pull some good news out of all of this, if you like a 50 hour Disney commercial then this is the game for you. In several worlds you play the EXACT story-line of many of the Disney movies. There is no doubt what is coming next in the game.....and for some that might be a good thing????

I found this game to lack what I look for most: the game. I felt like I was watching a long, and very boring movie. I loved Kingdom Hearts, and was interesting in the story, but this time around it's just too much.

Most of the main story is too complicated this time through, and the subplots are too simple. Also, you can't take 2 steps without having to watch a very useless cut scene.

The combat in this game is much flashier this time, but it only makes it easier. There's plenty more to do in battle, but it's all done but pressing the Triangle button when it lights up. Most battles can be won with your eyes closed.

Also, instead of just having a fight, there's always some sort of objective like "defeat all the enemies while staying alive." I think I can figure things like that out for myself. This sequal feels very dumbed down, the challenge is gone.

I feel that too much time went into the production of this game, and not enough time went into making it a fun game. I'd rather play a game than watch it.

SPUCTACULAR

After beating the first Kingdom Hearts, i had high expectations, considering the "to be continued" ending. Although I can say the story does deliver in this sequel, the game is just TOO EASY!!! I beat it in about a week, and the only thing left for me is obtaining the ultimate weapon (which is pointless when i earned a stronger one for beating Sephiroth). And the colisseum is... practically pointless. Only about 3 or 4 fights against some weak heartless and you gain absolutely no experience from any of it!! And leveling up is way too fast in this game, I've gotten up to lvl 92 now, and I can kill any creature in 5 hits or less. and the final boss is just too easy also. Great game for the kids, but for us older gamers who enjoyed the first one, wait until its on sale and u won't regret it. And just some advice, if you've beaten the first one, start this one on proud mode, might make it a little more challenging.

OMG

ok, kingdom hearts 2, a really fun game, but it was soooo boring and long, that it took me atleast 67 hours of my life to beat. With so many items to collect, and so many side missions, the game gets kinda boring. And lets not mention the tutorial in the begining, that took me 3 hours to finish. But luckly, kingdom hearts 2 gets saved by somthing, with the new abilities, and the added drive forms, this game becomes fun on some extent. Also, the fact that u get to play as riku and king mickey, adds a litle more coolness to the game. My last opinion: if you were a fan of the Other kingdom hearts games ( kh 1, and kh: chain of memories), then this game is worth buying from the 'used' section

Repeat after me... never buy a copy of an original

Whenever someone does something inventive and inspiring buy that, don't buy its sequel. The sequel is a rehash of the first at best, and at worst the creator either hadn't the energy to do something creative, and just threw together a standard knock-off. Note such sequels as Alundra 2, Suikoden (what is it now, four or five?), Wild Arms, etc. Sure the original was great at one time, but unless you find one that broke the mold, or the story is so interesting and developed that it continues through several games (from what I read of Kingdom Hearts in plot spoilers it's not quite that developed), it's not really worth it.

The only instances where a sequel outperformed an original is where it managed to be more creative than the first: such as Legend of Mana using nonlinear plot sequences and a learning system of battle (before, the SD3 sort of went in this direction, with its choice of party altering the story), or the Final Fantasy series which despite the reputation for being streamlined, each Final Fantasy is an experiment with a new battle system.

No, I haven't bought KH2, but after hearing the other reviews, I can safely say that if I were to buy a Kingdom Hearts it would be Kingdom Hearts 1.

Snore . . . zzzzzz

Based on the reviews of this game I thought I might enjoy it. I was wrong. Let me say this - I didn't play the first one, so maybe that had something to do with it, BUT . . . what is SO exciting about watching cut scene after cut scene with non-existant gameplay in between. I will admit that I didn't get very far into it because I WAS BORED. I do see the appeal with the characters, but I wouldn't even call this "little gem" a game. I'd actually like to PLAY the game rather than watch poorly written, drawn out dialougue. I was seriously disappointed with my purchase of this game - don't believe the hype. Might be good for "beginner" gamers - like age 5 or 6.
