Kingdom Hearts is an amazing game, and anyone who likes Action/Adventures or RPGs should definitely have it. Kingdom Hearts two is very much the same, hence the similarities in reviews, but you should play them in order. It's an absolute nostalgia fest for anyone who played the Final Fantasies or likes the classic Disney movies.

Half its charm is its innocence; playable by children, yet still entertaining and challenging for adults. I played it to 100%, and beating Sephiroth is very difficult on hard mode (as it should be!). But for those who don't like a challenge, you can always set it to easy and go from there. But shame on you if you do. Slackers. Honestly, this game is quite a bit easier than the first, even on hard mode, but still quite difficult in places for completionists.

The storyline is great, it has nice graphics, the camera never seems to get in the way, and the music is enchanting. I could listen to the main menu music all day, and the opening song is on my MP3 player.

The Gummi Ship is still annoying in this one, but I mostly ignore it. The fighting controls are slightly improved, with the addition of shortcuts and forms. The only other downside is that the Pirates of the Caribbean world is just embarrassing. The Lion King, on the other hand, is an amazing addition.
