Difficulty:

Hard

Time Spent:

40 to 100 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Surprisingly good"

Why you would:
~Further understanding of the KH story. (musty play if you want to understand KH2)
~Compelling game play and challenging fights.
~Same KH you know and love.

Why you would not:
-Card cycling system makes it hard to have the right card before being hit.
-Only for fans.

This explains a lot of things in KH2 and gave depth tho the Heartless, Nobodies, and other characters. Having said that, this game was fun, energetic, and you got to play with Riku!

The 2-D graphics didn't take away from the light spectacle of the attacks and made everything a little more cute (especially the heartless). The sound was crisp for the DS and the music was just as catchy and memorable as always. The game play could use some work though. Aside from the great and challenging boss fights, some of the cards were useless and the cycling system left a lot to be desired. But it was a decent run at a new type of game play and not done badly. But I only advise this game to fans of the series. If your just getting into it, do not start here. You'll only put poison on a good thing.
