    An epic adventure that will not soon be

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 2, 2003 | 24 out of 26 found this Kingdom Hearts review helpful

    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 gam...e 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 the skys. Many of the Disney characters look and move as if they were ripped right from their respective cartoons. Seriously, you will be awe struck when you see the Disney characters animate exactly as they do in their movies. Disney has also spared no expense on voice acting, in many cases brining back a characters original actor when it came time to give the incredibly large ensemble cast voices. Add to that an absolute beauty of a soundtrack, and this could be Squares finest aural game in years.You play as Sora and along with Donald and Goofy....you go looking for Mickeymeeting some mean ol nasties along the way. The game also features returning characters from Squares 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 theyre Disney characters. Simba, Bambi, Dumbo, and Tinkerbell and others 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 andSquare 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 somewhat dark. The packaged is rounded out with incredible music, not the least of which is Light, an English version of Utada Hikarus song Hikari.This game has got to be the most fun Ive had in years. I mean, Ive never had but two games ever draw me in like all get out to where I cant stop playing it. Now, I have a third. Its Kingdom Hearts. If youre into RPGs, even if youre not, try out Kingdom Hearts. Its definitely worth your time for young and old alike. Square did the Disney universe and this game justice. Hope there is a part two!

    Greatest RPG out right now for the PS2

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 22, 2003 | 6 out of 6 found this Kingdom Hearts review helpful

    If you are a final fantsy fan and you like the disney chacters this is the game for you. You will loose yourself in the game and you wont want to stop till you bet the game. The game is origanal and is not like any other game out there. I think that ...everyone that owns a PS2 needs to go out and buy this game. It is not just for kids, like some may think. Older people will become just as involved with the game as a 10 year old would. This has to be the greatest games for the PS2 ever. Read more Less

    Solid Game

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 14, 2002 | 4 out of 4 found this Kingdom Hearts review helpful

    Excellent crossover game for the PS2. Both companies really must have trusted one another to create such a strong title. IF they do a sequal (which I would pick up as well) I believe we all agree that the camera situation needs to be resolved and the... gummi ship should never see the light of day again.Now I can forgive the camera thing when I could put it on maunal, but the ship is boring and does not have a decent reason to be in the game.Definately rent this one if you get the chance... It can be very difficult, but its a blast! Read more Less

    Style over substance

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 27, 2002 | 6 out of 10 found this Kingdom Hearts review helpful

    Yes it looks beautiful. When was the last time Squaresoft made somethiing that didnt look outrageously beautiful? Disney as well has a long history of making things that look spectacular. Its like peanut butter and jelly , you dont expect one without... the other. So yes it looks great (except for the gummi ship travel scenes) and it sounds brilliant. All the characters, all the memorbale scenes transposed onto the game is awesome. But despite all the glimmer and shine, Kingdom Hearts isnt a great RPG. Its not the worst, but it certainly isnt the best either. The controls feel GOOFY, the battles occur constantly and the constant hack slash with the keyblade gets boring. The story of separate worlds forced to come together sounds, feels more like Disney needing a boost in popularity since they really havent made anything at the box office in awhile. Corporate Hearts! Ok sorry that was mean. Theres scenes in Kingdom Hearts that absolutley touched me and made me feel that old Disney magic that was in me when I was a kid. But strictly on the basis of being the GREAT RPG that it presents itself to be, it let me down. It takes more than graphics and sound to make a great game. FFVII WAS BETTER. XENOSAGA WILL BE BETTER Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 11, 2003 | 4 out of 6 found this Kingdom Hearts review helpful

    Pros: Characters, Graphics, Sound, and emotion

    Cons: Limited control

    Overall, Kingdom Hearts is a magical, and amusing role playing game, and the graphics are very good quality, could be more elaborate....the songs promote a very intensifying image and feeling,(especially the ending theme song)a dramating effect. The ...characters were potrayed with matching traits that pretty much brought them to life! It would be better if there was more of a variety of tactics and moves, though that is the only real down part. All I have to say is playing the game, and watching the result was priceless........--------
