That's a tough one...there were a few tweaks in 2 that made is easier to play...the camera for one. Although the battle system was a let down, I also found that I was button mashing more that I did in 1. At least the first made it a point of uding magic and stuff everyonce in a while as 2 it felt that you could almost do without it or never get the chance to actually cast anything anyway due to the speed of the enemies so you button mashed in response.
The storyline also got a little confusing unless you have played Chain Of Memories on the GBA or read the Manga. The introduction of Namine and Roxas otherwise is a little sudden. It looks better though and some of the worlds are better realised and the novelty of the Lion King world was awsome.
There was something missing from 2 though that I couldn't quite put my finger on, the magic of 1 seemed to have lessoned somewhat and I remember more of 1 than I do of 2...which is telling as I played 1 back in 2005 and only finished 2 earlier on this year.
Storywise: KH1. Gotta love Roxas and Axel though
Gameplay wise: KH2. Maybe easier but there was more action than in the first one.
Special mention to Roxas... what other character has ever made you think he sux but in the end you actually like him??
I also think KH was easier than KH2 in some aspects. KH2 had a lot of button mashing but the bosses were cheap as hell - I had a hard time with one of the last nobodies - the guy that disappears and will reappear. I was at like level 45. The problem with KH was the camera.
KH2 is a big disappointment - the characterssucked and the story waslikemost jrpgsin that it was over dramatic but nothing made sense. I played a bit of Chains of Memories and still dreaded KH2.
The 2nd one is a disappointment in my opinion. I'm one of the few people out there willing to admit that. There is absolutely no challenge in the sequel. All you have to do is button mash the living hell out of the attack buttons, and you win battles easily. No need for summons, no need for magic, no need for dodging. Just plain and simple button mashing. Thats why the first one is better in my opinion. CommanderShiro
Hey, I agree with you. Though, personally, I liked Chain of Memories the best. Personal opinon.
KH1, I say is better than KH2. BUT, when it comes down to it some people will say KH2. KH2 does improve on a lot of things including graphics and game-play, but once a long time, indepth fan like me finishes is they really don't get the feeling they did when they beat KH1. KH1 ending made you excited, sad, happy, angry. And the previews, trailers, extras after made you hooked into waiting for the next game.
When I got KH2, I hated the 3-6 hour tut. xD But soon got out of it after that I got disappointed and at the same time excited for a few things. What I hated was the-most of the Worlds felt rushed or to easy, I remember when I did the Jungle for the first time in KH1 it took me a few hour, first world in KH2-less than 1hour, even when revisited it doesn't take that long. I was very disappointed when it came to the gummi ship, there was not point in making your own or customizing it and the whole "flight" was basically boring. Also, at some points in the story I bet you guys were like WTF and didn't under stand a thing or two. I did enjoy the new battle system with the forms and such, BUT I only ever used a summon 3 times the whole game.(2 of the times where accident.) The battles felt to easy. The one thing I loved the most that I still replay to this day is the battle with the 1000? Heartless xD I love trying to kill every one of them. Too bad I could use my forms of gain any xp though...
Even though KH2 looks and feels superior or just as good as KH1. Look back on when (if)you played and beat KH1. Does it make you feel the same. I love KH2, but if I had to compare the two KH1 will be my favorite. it will be one of those games that I played that made me feel something special.
Quick Edit: Hands down CoM is awesome if you have some free time and cash pick it up!It clears A lot of loose ends up in KH2.I still can't beat you-know-who at the end with Riku. xDD
