WOW
This game BLEW ME AWAY. Someone bought this for me because it was on sale. Because the price was so cheap, I didn't think it could possibly be that good, yet I tried it anyway. Never again will I judge something based on its price.
Where to start? The graphics and sound were astounding. There are many different stages and each different level has a disparate and unique quality to it. The gameplay combines elements of slash/hack games, puzzle games, adventure and rpg. You meet different characters along the way and it's amazing how multi-layered the story is.
As for the different types of levels...I can only say, that I felt like I had played about 20 different games by the time I finished this. You start out playing on a beach and get taken to outer space, the jungle, Alice in Wonderland, a Roman coliseum, the set from Nightmare before Christmas, Neverland, a whale's mouth...and there might be more - I can't remember. Each "set" contains a slightly different gameplay and each is fun in it's own way. You slide down the vines in the jungle and work with Tarzan, and traverse through Wonderland with Alice and fly around the pirate ship in Neverland with Peter Pan. Simply amazing. Each set also has it's own music...and you can go from one place to the next after unlocking each stage.
I finished this about a year ago and pretty much check regularly to see when the sequel comes out. All I can say is - although this was first released a few years ago, it blows away everything else I've played. This is a MUST HAVE.
There are no real cons to this game. The only thing that I didn't "love" was building a gummi ship. Here's the deal: There is a workshop in which you build a ship to take you from one stage to another. This concept kind of distracts from the rest of the game b/c it doesn't really fit in. Probably if this were in any other game, I would have loved it, but compared to the sheer brilliance of the rest of the game, the gummi ship seemed like an awkward concept.
THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't buy this game you are missing out!!!!!!!!!!!!! The charactors are awesome and the story is unbelievable. I'll say it again-IF YOU DON'T BUY THIS GAME YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!!!!!! I can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out. Well have fun playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what happens when Square and Disney collide...
In Kingdom Hearts, you play as a 14-year-old named Sora who lives on the Destiny Islands along with his pals, Riku and Kairi. However they dream of new worlds and are anxious to go and explore them - they're wish becomes true but not in the way they imagined...
A storm is cast on the Destiny Islands, tearing them apart and leaving Sora unconscious. He finds himself alone in Traverse Town when he wakes and soon meets Donald and Goofy who were ordered by the King (Mickey) to accompany him on a journey to defeat an evil force known as the Heartless for Sora is the master of a weapon known as the Keyblade...
The gameplay is similar to Final Fantasy except you use the left analog stick to move freely around and use the directional buttons to select commands of which you execute using 'X'.
Oh, and there's no flashy screen when you enter battle - your command list simply turns red and you enter battle mode whereas you can only attack, magic and use a special move and can't open chests and examine things. The Disney characters are voiced by their original actors and from time to time you team up with such heroes as Peter Pan, Aladdin and Tarzan.
There are even Final Fantasy characters like Cloud, Squall, Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka. You don't team up with them but you do get to meet and talk to them (and even fight some of them!). Oh and a welcome appearance of moogles! These little guys sythense items for you if you bring them the right stuff like in Final Fantasy IX.
If you love Disney's movies and Square's Final Fantasy games then you're gonna love Kingdom Hearts. What are you sitting around for, you buffoon! Buy this now!
