It wasn't until a month or so ago that I actually decided to go along with all the hype and purchase Kingdom Hearts I & II. Obviously, I started with the first game, but I lost interest in it rather quickly. I still haven't finished it yet, and I think I've only played it for about... three hours in total.
I put off playing the sequel, simply because I figured it would be as boring as the first, but when I started it, I was instantly hooked. The graphics, to me at least, seemed sharper and better, more like watching a movie and less like watching a video game. I loved the new town (Twilight Town) and the new characters (Roxas and his friends), and found it almost sort of refreshing to be able to play the game without Sora and Donald and Goofy for a while.
After the game actually started, I was absolutely hooked. I could hardly bear to leave the controller for more than an hour or so. There was so much to do; find treasure chests, fight Heartless, and so on and so forth. The first day I think I played it for eleven hours straight, and got half-way through the game.
The fights, especially the ones with the Organization XIII members, were incredibly challenging, up until the final level in the World That Never Was. It seemed like once you got your level to a certain point, all of the battles became easy, which was slightly disappointing.
All in all, it's an absolutely wonderful game; one that I'd play again and again.
One of my favorite games!!!!!

This game is really fun (too easy if you set it on easy though)My only problem with this game is the begining. For about 3 hours you have to be this kid named roxas then after those 3 hours the game actually starts and you take control of Sora. also sephiroth is a enemy you can choose to battle. Though kinda dissapointed that peter pan and tarzan worlds werent in the game (i like to fly wheee) I personally like how Sora, and Kairi look now i was suprised what riku looked like...and i also like how riku looked.
Overall I liked it more then the first! Great game for fans of kingdom hearts i recommed to any one
The sequel to the best game ever!!!!!!!

When I first played the game, I was bursting with Excitement. However, it was a little disapointing that you play as a Mysterious boy named Roxas for the first few hours of the game. However, Roxas' segment turned out to be not so bad, but the best part came when I finally got to control Sora.
The gameplay is almost the same as the first however, it has been given a few changes. You can now use Drive forms and Teamwork attacks. The drive forms are created by fusing with your party members which gives Sora both a new outfit and additional strength by either giving him the ability to use multiple keyblades or by powering up Sora's magic skills. Also, Square Enix has fixed the problems with the Gummi Ship levels and they have made a better working camera system.
Also, the game has plenty of mini games and side events that can be fun diversions from the main game. There are many completely new mini games, because of the new addition of the ability to ride a skateboard. You can do more than just mini games, of course. There is, also, extra bosses, tournaments, and more.
The main game is no walk in the park, either. There are some particularly hard bosses as well. Demyx, Xaldin, and especially Xigbar are very challenging bosses, just to name a few.
All in all, this game is awesome!!!! I reccomend running to the nearest video game store and buying this game ASAP. This is the absolute best video game ever!!!! Square Enix has done a great job of continuing the best series ever!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kingdom Hearts 2
The first thing I have to say about this game is that Square-Enix did a awesome job. This is probably one of the Best Games I have ever played. The story takes place one year after Kingdom Hearts. You start in Twilight Town as Roxas (Voiced by Jessie McCartney) who starts to discover more about himself. The only bad part about playing, as Roxas is that you basically hardly fight and have to do these Chores to earn money. But even though you probably will hate what you do when you are Roxas. You can't help but find him as A really interesting/Great character that a lot of fans will like. Even though playing as him Sucks.
Luckily, things begin to Get Really good when you are Sora (Still Voiced By Haley Joel Osment ^-^) again. Where you use Reaction Commands (like in Resident Evil 4) to dispatch of enemy's while doing the usual Attacks. There are some other new ways like Drive, Summon and Magic. But the negative side to Magic and Summons is that they are not really useful. The only time you use Magic is when you are damaged (the Cure spell) and, as for the summons you just don't need them.
The Game play is really good even though it's even more of a button smasher now than it was in the first Kingdom Hearts And The Voice Acting is Awesome. The only Voices I hated were Cid's and Aerith's. While I Liked Aerith's Voice it had no Emotion in it unlike in the First Game. Cid's on the other hand is too horrible to describe and I hope to god that the guy that did the voice would get fired.
Now one of the most hated things in the first Kingdom Hearts (that was the Gummi ship) is back. But thankfully it is a million times better then the first and this time it is actually can be Hard.
For the Graphics, I must say that they did a D*** good job. All the Characters look like they are supposed to and the songs are just as awesome as they were in the First game. Plus All the Characters and the Plot are really thought out.
Sadly, this game does have its Negative side:
- You would have to play the first Kingdom Hearts and The GBA game COM (Chain of Memories) to understand what is going on.
- Even though the camera is a lot better in KH2 you will still have some trouble with it.
- And the mini Games are not really fun at all.
- Atlantica was a Huge disappointment (Although Jodi Benson has a Awesome singing voice and Sora is not too bad either)
- It Misses something that the First Game had... But I Don't know what...
My conclusion is that this is a great game that misses the boat a few times but is still on of the best Games I have ever played
I give Kingdom Hearts 2: 9.5/10
The Score for Kingdom Hearts: 9.8/10
Gameplay: 9.2
Voice-overs: 9.4
Graphics: 10
Plot: 9.5
P.s. Square-Enix if you are reading this I Hope that you will make a Kingdom heart 3

I bought this game with some money I got from feeding some people's horses and stuff and I have to say I was impressed! I bought it for around 20 dollars or so and I think it was worth every dollar (that's my opinion, though, I'm only 12).
First of all, the gameplay is really cool. You have to fight tons of enemies and there's no blood or anything (which makes if better for littler players). Somtimes the game can get quite hard, but most of the time it's not bad at all. You never get confused on what to do next, it's pretty straight foward. You get to meet all kinds of different Disney characters (like Jack Sparrow, or Aladin), who will fight along side you in battle. You also have different forms which make you stronger and make you look cooler. You can use magic (personally, I like to zap people with lightning) which makes it way cooler I think.
As you progress In the game you can unlock new abilities and new worlds. When you start out as Roxas you can't go to new worlds or get new Keyblades but when you're Sora you can do all that stuff. Donald and Goofy pretty much always fight with you and you can buy them new weapons with the munny (it looks like it should be spelled like money, but that's right...) you collect along the way.
Overall, I think this game is really fun, especially for an E 10+ game. If you're thinking about buying it and like this kind of game then I say go ahead and buy it.
THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!!!

This game is so addictive. The gameplay is better than the first one.The graphics during gameplay are pretty good, but cutscene graphics are almost real! The worst thing about this game is that using magic takes too much off your mp meter(unlike the first one) And the beginning SUCKS!!! It made me sooooo mad! But you'll have to play the game to figure out what it is HAHAHAHAHAHA!Just kidding!For hours and hours your some messed up dude named Roxas.But after that it's awesome.YOU NEED THIS GAME.

The unexpectedly popular game from Square Enix finally returns. Sora, Donald, and Goofy come back once again to battle against the Heartless and a new enemy, the Nobodies.
In the game, a year has passed since the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Sora still sleeps as Namine slowly regains all of his memories. We start off playing a boy named Roxas, who, for some reason, dreams the memories of Sora. Roxas is confronted by many strange creatures called Nobodies and Organization XIII's Axel. Soon, he remembers who or what he really is and returns to where he came from. Sora awakes, and rejoins Donald and Goofy. They briefly encounter King Mickey, who orders them to go take the train. The train takes them to another place where Master Yen Sid lives. They are then informed of the present danger and from there begins their adventure.
The game has improved gameplay, with new summon spells, combination attacks, and transformations. With Sora's new armor, he can transform with the help of Donald and Goofy into four forms: Valor, Wisdom, Master, and Final. There's new Gummi stages that make the game more enjoyable. New appearances by Disney including Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lion King. Square Enix has also people from Final Fantasy appearing: Paine, Rikku, Yuna, and Tifa.
This game has improved everything from the gameplay to the camera angles. It's sure not to disappoint any Kingdom Hearts fan.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is fantstic!The keyblades are way more cool than the last games.Some of my favorites are the bond of flames and fenir.Basicaly what happens is you start the game as a kid named roxas who some how has a connetion with sora and thats the begining then your sora.Some new things they thought up were new summuns like stitch and the best part drives!Ill tell you about the first 2 and an secret one.First is valor form what it does is you jump real high use 2 keyblades at once and use some AWSOME looking combos.Next is wisdom form which makes magic a ton stronger and shoots magic bullets.The secret one is bad its called shadow form what happens is sora becomes a shadow thing that attacks constantly which is good but damage done to you is doubled and no magic you cant use this drive on purpous it happens randomly and the chances increase of getting it every time you drive.And there is another secret one which im not telling what it does or how to get just the name its final form its AWSOME! I killed a 5 bar boss with it in like 30 seconds!The reason i gave it 4 stars is after you win there is nothing to do besides fight saburath who is IMPOSIBLE to beat he has 15 bars of health and can kill you with one slash you would be lucky to last 30 seconds fighting him.But overall this games great and I highly recomend it.
