Kingdom Hearts II to be reviewed live Tuesday

PlayStation 2's 2002 hit Kingdom Hearts from developer Square Enix and Disney used an unusual combination of beloved Disney characters with faces only Final Fantasy fans could recognize. The highly anticipated sequel to the Disney-Square Enix collaboration is shipping to US stores this week, and those wondering how it finally turned out can tune into GameSpot's live video review on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. PT. For those who prefer their reviews in written form, GameSpot will also publish its full-text review of the game at that time.

GameSpot subscribers will be able to watch the live feed while participating in a live chat and sending their questions about the game to the game's reviewer, features editor Carrie Gouskos. All GameSpot users will be invited to watch the broadcast on demand later that day.

Kingdom Hearts II continues the story laid out by the original game and the Game Boy Advance title, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It features a who's who of celebrity voice talent and references to some unlikely Disney works, such as Pirates of the Caribbean and TRON.

Kingdom Hearts II is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older and will retail for $49.99. For more information on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
