The next portable installment in the Kingdom Hearts series is a definite hit!
Story: Very insightful, a little repetitive. The insight on the back story of Roxas is amazing. Also, we can finally understand a previously mysterious Organization XIII. The only downfall, is that the game is consisted of many mini missions, and many of them are a very basic:
1. Enter world
2. Reintroduce Disney characters
3. Kill heartless
4. Repeat
But, overall a solid story.
Graphics: Surprisingly good! Looks convincingly like its PS2 brothers in both flow and style. The worlds are for the most part recycled, but that gives it a familiar feel, and they stay pretty true to the originals. The characters move flawlessly in both recon, and combat.
Game Play: Looks and feels like the PS2 entries. The only problem, is in combat the magic can be useless at times. The melee attacks are auto-targeting, but magic tends to do whatever the heck it feels like. Overall, very good though.
Music/sound: Amazing, the music stays true to the series with familiar tunes in the familiar worlds. Quality is pretty good too for a hand held.
Overall: Buy it. Play it. Beat it. Then start with the original and beat them all in order. Get going!
