Very nostalgic, great graphics for 2002. The game is very detailed (and sometimes confusing) but that's part of the fun. I still had my old game guide which has been helpful. I would recommend it for kids or anyone looking to find all the hidden items along the way.

If you played Legend Of Zelda before, then you basically know how the battle system should work. Its more of an action RPG then a turn based one. In other words, its completely different from almost all the FFs. The environment is interactive. Meaning you can hit a switch with fire, or light a room with Thunder. You have a command window at bottom left hand corner. Using the right analog stick allows you to control which command you want to use. You have the choices of ''Attack'', ''Magic'' and ''Item'' each doing exactly what they sound like. There's also a fourth bar in the command menu which functions like an ''Action'' command. For example, if you want to open a door, approach it and select the ''Open'' Command which would have taken the fourth slot. Otherwise, the fourth command is always blank. When you don't have to fight, the command window stays blue. However, when you run into an area where baddies might appear, you'll enter battle mode. The command window will turn Red and you can utilize your actions from the menu. Attack, Magic and Item are available here too, but the fourth command will change to a ''Special'' command, where you can utilize special moves you've equipped (more on this later). There is also a targetting system that allows to lock on to an enemy. By doing so, the camera will constantly focus at that enemy only. However, unlike Zelda, Sora doesn't automatically turn to face the enemy. So, it will take some time to adjust. Note that you can also adjust the AI of Donald and Goofy, customizing the way YOU want them to fight in battle. Extra Bonus. Outside of battle, you can also pop open a menu, allowing you to customize characters with abilities (think FF9) and equipment. You can also make characters hold certain Items so when battle occurs, these items become available for use. Please take note that you can also use the D-pad to move the command menu, but doing so will make the game incredibly difficult as it would just feel awkward and the command switching will be a lot slower. So where does the reduction come from? Well, after a while, battle get old. Its not like there's a point to shielding. Mash away with X and you can pretty much win most of the battles. Especially if you make your allies act defensively. It gets tiring to fight enemies over and over again while slamming on X.Read full review
What 2 jerks gave me a 'non' helpful rating I'll never know. I'm being honest and to the point. So with that said here's the deal on Kingdom Hearts. I bought this for my 8 year old son. My review is based on his benefit from it. He's a smart kid and decent in reading and a quick learner of game concepts. He used the book but has had to ask me to read passages to him he could not totally understand. Well, that's because he's just 8 years old. I guess the game may be geared to a slightly older audience of kids. I'll say good over all due to the age of my son. No complaints all though he now wants me to surf the web for a walk through and cheats on the game. Why would he need that? Kids liked it over all and you really can go wrong with Disney.

Ever wondered what it would be like if Final Fantasy characters and Disney Characters all shared the same universe? Nope? Me neither. But this is exactly what this game does. You can find fan boy's favorites like Cloud from FF7 series or Squall from FF8 series along with Goofy and Donald and the Little Mermaid. What is interesting is that the game delivers. Both Disney and Final Fantasy fans will find something to like here. The story involves the main protagonist Sora traveling to different Disney-themed worlds in search of his friends. Soon Sora's goals expend into stopping the the evil Heartless and saving all the worlds. The story isn't exactly living poetry, but it isn't bad either. The combat in the game is in real time. The battles do get repetitive, however, you'll spend most of your time moving around and pressing the X button a lot. You can also jump during battles to attack your enemies in the air or summon Disney characters to your aid (like Dumbo, Genie, etc.). There are Bonus Bosses here too.... you'll finally be able to settle that score with Sephiroth with a little help from Goofy and Donald. Bottom Line: This is a good action RPG with relatively high production values. Don't expect to find a deep story or combat system here though. Final Fantasy + Disney = Something Different and surprisingly goodRead full review
Played this as a kid and wanted to do it again. To this day this game has not let me down on how good it is. Gameplay is great, storyline great, characters and customization-great. It’s a perfect game for your kids if you wanna get them away from call of duty and fortnite

If anyone has read any previous reviews of Kingdom Hearts, you know the plusses and minuses of this title. Yes, the integration of the Final Fantasy and Disney worlds is done astoshingly well. Yes, the presentation quality, cut scenes, and voice acting (by everyone who's not David Boreanez) are exceptional. Yes, the boss battles were plentiful and exciting. Yes, the camera is about the WORST camera in any game I've ever played. Ultimately, how much one enjoys this game is based upon how much one enjoys Disney, Final Fantasy, and action-RPG hybrid games. I'm a fan of all three, so, even as the overall gameplay itself is sub-par at best, I was hooked by the story and the characters and thoroughly enjoyed my time going through it. If you're only a fan of one or two of the previously mentioned categories, you might want to give it a shot. If not, skip this one. And if you do play through Kingdom Hearts and manage to beat the hardest of the hidden bosses (no spoiler here, though you probably know who it is), you're incredible.Read full review
Nothing compares. Kingdom Hearts, developed by Square Enix, is simply phenomenal. I first came across this game when I was in second grade, and (amazingly) still love it today. The story follows a young boy named Sora (voiced by acting veteran Haley Joel Osment). He lives on a tranquil island with his friends Riku and Kairi, but dreams of visiting other worlds and embarking on new adventures. One day, he gets his wish, and is whisked away to the homely Traverse Town. There, he meets two new friends (Disney's Donald Duck and Goofy). And so, their journey together begins. But it won't be smooth sailing. Can Sora, with the help of his friends, stop the evil beasts known as Heartless, and find the missing Riku and Kairi? With the strength of Sora's newfound Keyblade, it just might be possible. In the game, there is an interesting combination of Final Fantasy, (Cloud, Leon, Tidus, and others make appearances) and the colorful characters of Disney (Donald, Goofy, KIng Mickey Mouse, and many others). The only minor gripe I have about this game is the graphics. They're good, but could be better. A lot of the characters look rather robotic, and not truly lifelike. On the other hand, the music is terrific, especially the original melodies composed solely for the game. They are very excellent, very moving. The gameplay, also, is easy to learn, and fun once you do. Rather than using the X button to jump, (such is common in video games) you use the O button, which is a refreshing change. X is used to attack. In addition, you have an array of magic spells that you can make Sora cast, which will definitely kill some Heartless. This continues the Final Fantasy tradition. Tournaments are a Kingdom Hearts pro as well. There are four of them, all held at Olympus Coliseum: the Phil Cup, Pegasus Cup, Hercules Cup, and (the most challenging) Hades Cup. Once you start one of those tournaments, you'll find yourself hooked on battling Heartless, round after exciting round. But the game's true high point is the story. Some of the voice acting is not entirely realistic, but that actually enhances the engaging power of Kingdom Hearts's overall plot. It just gives the game this light, but powerful, feeling, like it's unsurpassed. It's really hard to explain. But, no matter how you look at it, you'll no doubt find that Kingdom Hearts is a truly great game. You won't find quality quite like this anywhere else. MY FINAL SCORES: Graphics: 4/5 Music: 5/5 Story: 5/5 Fun: 5/5 Overall: 5/5 CONCLUSION: A phenomenal game, well worth even the shy gamer's time. And since Kingdom Hearts II is already out, and a third game could possibly be released, the brilliant saga can continue. NOTES: To unlock a special scene after the game's end credits, just do three things: -Seal the Keyhole to every world (including Olympus Coliseum and 100 Acre Wood) -Win the Hades Cup -Recover all 99 dalmatian puppies (you can find them in various treasure chests scattered across worlds) Trust me, the special scene is really cool (and it's not the one that shows Sora, Donald, and Goofy chasing Pluto down that pathway).Read full review
It looks like much of what makes the game amazing has been highlighted already. So let me vent a few of my frustrations and share a small critique, so if you are interested in purchasing it, you'll know what to expect. First, let me soften the blow by including the fact that the gameplay graphics are usually very well done and I absolutely love how Squaresoft and Disney incorporated all the great Disney classics into an independent plot. There's also a few Final Fantasy characters squeezed into the mix (what did you expect). But yes, it is more Disney than anything else. The English dubbing is very good (though the characters look chopping when speaking) EXCEPT for the fact that the main character, Sora, speaks like an idiot. They picked the worst voice actor to fill that position. Everything that comes out of Sora's mouth is over emphasized, predictable, inane, immature, and just plain annoying. If you have ever watched a poorly done anime show in English, that's the same annoyance you'll feel everytime your main character speaks. WEAK. Also, in an attempt to squeeze in every possible game genre, this game gives you the option of "tricking out" your space mobile. Let me tell you that this is the worst aspect of the game. First of all, the spaceship is just blocks of solid color. When you fly, the depth perception is horrible!!! The first Starfox game had a better ship and better flight graphics. You have to deal with this when you move between planets for the first time so you think they would have focused more on this. The 3D outer space environment is poor and cheap. Lastly, if you were expecting this to be like a normal roleplaying game (Final Fantasy style), you are mistaken. You cannot control the accompanying members of your party. You can manually change how often your characters do something BUT you cannot control what they will do and when they will do it. If you leave his personal settings on, Goofy may waste the potions you have purchased unnecessarily. Donald usually lags when it comes to healing you. Lastly, you have to manually target your own magic attacks if you use them or there's a high chance you'll miss. Be aware of this if you choose to be a mage. In any case, this is the best game Disney has put out in a while. Obviously, that's because this isn't a game meant to mirror the plot of a movie. So the creators had a lot to stretch and a lot of imagination to work in. For the most part, a decent story with decent character development and deeply engrossing gameplay.Read full review
Makes me feel old for saying this game is a classic. But nonetheless, it's true this game is amazingly good. The soundtrack, the gameplay, the story is all rich with good vibes and nostalgia.
