Kingdom Hearts (PS2)

I recently bought this game again, after so many years of playing it and then giving it away, and thought I'd get it for my nostalgia feelings. I must say this is STILL brilliant to play even after SO many years, and still has all the fun and humour that I remembered as a kid. now, the story is a pretty interesting one: all about you going to several worlds (almost all of them disney worlds)and then beating them in several ways, and also looking for friends. Oh, and my favourite world is Winnie the Pooh as it captures all what i loved of pooh as a kid, and it still is tonnes of fun seeing all the characters.Now, the main character Sora is a stereotypical child hero, and is great for kinds/young teens, but when you are older, he becomes really annoying. but hey, I shouldn't really comment on that part as this game is meant to be aimed at kids, its just me nitpicking.The game-play of this game is INCREDIBLY fun, with it being an action rpg, which i MUCH prefer over turn based games like final fantasy. its very quick and easy to make moves. the camera is a bit terrible, as it just doesn't move or flow properly at all, but still, this is only a minor turn off for some people. This game will feature some grinding by the end of the game, so you can do all the optional fights and such (which are just totally amazing and strongly recommend doing), but if you were to do the base game and no optional stuff, then you will still find that the game has a fair difficulty, with it being hard but not too hard.The graphics and sounds are PERFECT. all the characters you see sound perfect and as they should, and the worlds are done in the iconic style. One world (Halloween town) is EXACTLY as it should be, and is just tonnes of fun, listening to the "this is Halloween" song in the background.Overall, i'd say this game is truly worth buying for any rpg fan or just any kid who has a ps2, as it is still incredible and fun to play, and you will get your money's worth

Un gioco da avere assolutamente, chi non l'ha mai giocato, non sà cosa si è perso. Ad oggi uno dei migliori titoli per PS2, inserito più e più volte nel PSN in versione rimasterizzata, ma priva dei siparietti presenti nell'edizione originale per PS2. La square enix assieme a Disney, è riuscita a partorire un gioco di livelli eccelsi che all'epoca delle prime recensioni sui giochi avventura/rpg, non scese mai di punteggio sotto il 9 in tutte le riviste di games. Kingdom Hearts è un Action Game-RPG tipo Zelda molto diverso da giochi come Final Fantasy. Non esistono combattimenti a turni, come nei classici RPG ma avrete la possibilità di esplorare le aree con diversi compagni di avventura tutti presi dai classici personaggi Disney. La fase esplorativa del gioco è piuttosto casuale, con il giocatore protagonista che può, proprio come in un Platform 3D, effettuare tutti i movimenti e le evoluzioni in modo simile a titoli come Jak & Daxter o Rayman. Il protagonista di kindom Hearts è Sora, un adolescente di 15 anni che deve ritrovare due amici e compagni di viaggio sperduti sull'isola di Destiny Island. NEll'estenuante ricerca dei compagni, Sora sarà catapultato in una fantastica città chiamata Traverse Town e qui, farà conoscenza con due guerrieri dai volti ben noti: Pippo e Paperino. Un pò come accade nel signore degli anelli, pian piano si formerà una compagnia solida che unirà le forze, per velocizzare le ricerche degli amici scomparsi, perchè anche Pippo e Paperino stanno cercando il loro compagno Topolino.Sorà scoprirà lentamente che all'interno del nuovo universo, avrà accesso a particolari poteri che gli conferiranno il dono di possedere particolari chiavi per proseguire nel gioco....... Inizia così la più fantastica delle avventure mai raccontata su piattaforma PS2. Da avere e da giocare assolutamente!!! questa prima avventura kindom hearts è un piccolo gioiello nell'universo dei giochi playstation.Il gioco uscì in italia solamente in inglese, con manuale e custodia in italiano. Ma è molto intuitivo e semplice da giocare.Arrivato nei tempi corretti e come sempre corredato da un eccellente servizio amazon.

I'm not a big gamer and from the games I have tried, very view of them I completed. Kingdom Hearts is among that small number. I really enjoyed this game; I thought it was a wonderful play and had a nice story and graphics.There's very little I could complain about this the game, except that the camera angels were akward at times and you couldn't look up or down. If your use to games, especially the newer ones were you use the right stick to change camera angle, then the camera angle will be confusing in this game and take some getting use to, as it's the triger buttons on the back of the controller that you use. Like I've already said, I'm not a big gamer, so it wasn't a problem for me.If you decided to buy this game, I'd make sure you have a PlayStation 2 frist, or at least have access to one. Otherwise, you'll need to buy one. I initially tried playing it on my dad's PlayStation 3 but it wasn't recognised. Luckily we had my brothers' PS2 stored in the loft.Anyways, I thought this game was a really good play and I would recommend it to others! I really enjoyed it and wanted to play it all day, though I couldn't.

Disc was badly scratched.

This game is amazing. It is a real classic and I think that it is one of the most amazing things I have ever played. A few things I would say though are, the character that you use is not amazing at jumping and it took me about an hour to get where I had to go just because the character wouldn't jump far enough to move on. I found that part infuriating, as well as that there are the few dodgy camera angles and it takes a while tyo get used to the controls since they are different than your typical games. The final critisim is the lack of direction, during the game you get hardly any instructions on what to do so I would reccomend using walkthroughs in these parts. Despite these few errors I think that the game is really good gameplay, has reasonably good graphics, good storyline and the game is intresting the game being long.
