The Game
Quite simply named this session is all about the gaming experience, from stats on the game, to reviews by those who have played this game, including me. This is an objective/subjective part of the sight in which I want your input. You know the drill, e-mail me if you've got hints, cheats or any of the sort. Together we can make this the best Kingdom Hearts site there is, but until then I'll settle for being known amongst the worlds.
Name: Kingdom Hearts
System: Playstation 2
Programmers: Squaresoft
ESRB Rating: E (Violence)
Number of Players: 1
Type of Game: RPG
Description: This highly praised game risked everything by becoming the
first merger between Square-Enix and Disney. This game had originally been
criticized by those who had yet to play the game. They said it was
blasphemous to mix Final Fantasy and Disney together. Those knocks at the
game were proven wrong by anybody who played this game. The first of
Square's games to actually remake the movements of the character's mouths for
the English version, it pushed the limits of quality to a new standard. It
uses a highly credited cast of cameos from Disney's movies to professional
actors to voice the main characters. The story is a simple story with many
twist and turns to keep you busy and the real-time battles give the game the
adventuring quality that you need to to like any RPG. Beatable in the mid
40th level, this game is not quite over then. With many additional bosses
made for the American release it makes you want to play the game, even though
you can beat it where you are.

This was one of the best games I've played in a long
while. The first game I got when I picked up my PS2, I was instantly
addicted. Even more so than with Crono Cross, my second favorite game
now. I had found the perfect mix of role-playing with the freedom that I
was accustomed to from my experiences in table top role-playing. It gave
me the feel that I was the character and not a person telling the characters
what to do (that's the feeling I get from traditional turn based RPGs).
The ability to control only Sora at first was a disappointment, but it soon
added to the bond I felt with him. I was Sora, not Sora, Goofy and
Donald. Sure I could tell them not to do so much of so forth, but I didn't
have to tell them what to do for them to do something. I enjoyed the
movies that went along with it. They were both entertaining and
story-boosting. They weren't in excess, or lacking in quantity. The Coliseum
became one of my favorite parts of the game. I could fight monsters,
bosses and gods on my own time. An easy way to level up, a fun way to
spend an hour I was addicted. The camera angles were good, but not
great. When there was no lock on at all, it was hard to get your camera to
face your enemy without locking on. Play time was fun, and not too long,
though my saved game said 75 hours by the time I got to Tarzan's world (I always
got to where I couldn't save right before work). This game consumed my
spare time, but didn't lesson any of my personal relationships. If I could
fix one thing I would've cancelled Lance's Disney contract right before this
came out. How could the do that to Sephiroth? It's unfair!

I thought the game was the best one I've ever played because of the graphics,
the game play, the storyline, and so many more things. Another of Square's
fantastic RPGs and all together the best one in my opinion. The only thing I disliked
about the game was Wonderland...it brings back horrible childhood memories...but
that's just me. Especially the battle system I liked, not one of those
stop-in-your-tracks and battle sort of things. The storyline about how light can
defeat darkness was one of the best ones I've ever played through. (spoiler) The
ending also leaves you in a tremendous amount of suspense which leaves theories
and questions about what comes next. All in all, it was one of the best RPGs I
have played to date and I give it a 10/10.

I was amazed at first with the Simple and Clean intro for Kingdom Hearts. Square
has proved that even if they work with another company and has separate ideas
and such they can accomplished something this big. The battle system was
different from the Final Fantasy series to get more fans to play it and such.
The graphics were astounding also, In-game and CGs. For a matter of fact they
only did the intro and ending in CG unlike Final Fantasy X since it was the
first game to go on the PS2. The Storyline of the game was excellent as with the
characters look and seeing our Final Fantasy Heroes or enemies as well with
voice-overs this time. The optional bosses were good challenges but after u plan
a strategy they become like normal bosses unlike some bosses. Best Game ever
since Final Fantasy VII that they made. I can't wait for when KH2 ever comes
out!

I like this game, because it is both fun and sometime hard. And I also like the
characters. While the ending is not complete, I know that is because a second on
is coming. ^_~ The camera maybe annoying, but so what? The game is so fun! I
could care less about the slightly annoying camera.

This was a great game in every aspect of game play that is important to me. Deep
characters, great plot, good graphics. And best of all, the world's best video
game producers and the world's best entertainment company combined to make the
world's best game! Who doesn't love the quirky adventures like helping Eyore
find his tail and helping Rabbit save his garden? The game is also serious.
Other than helping our friends from the 100 Acre Woods, we get to learn of the
heartless, where they came from, and why the came. I recommend this game to
anyone. If your just starting out with RPGs or your a veteran, I believe that
you'll thoroughly enjoy this game.

Kingdom Hearts is the best game that has ever been created. Everything about it
was great. The combined team work of Disney Interactive and Squaresoft surely
paid off. The team duo turned out fantastic. From Wonderland to Halloween Town
(The Nightmare Before Christmas) this game gives you many world to explore and
have a great time with. The Battle system is also one of the many wonderful
features about this game. It's not like other Squaresoft games (Final Fantasies
and Chronos). It is real-time fighting. Meaning that you can actually move your
character while you fight. This may not seem so amazing, but combined with
Squaresoft type fighting atmosphere, it turns out amazing. The game's story line
is another great feature of the game. The story line is slowly revealing
throughout the game, yet not so slow that you lose interest. The perfect
combination. The characters of the are also great. There are both Squaresoft
Japanime type characters and Disney Cartoon type characters. another great
combination. You can find out the other amazing features of this game by buying
it and playing it. All I have to say is that Kingdom Hearts is the best game of
ALL TIME. I can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 2.
