Game Overview

Combining classic Disney characters with the development talents of Square Enix, Kingdom Hearts II is a journey that any RPG fan should take. Sora, Donald The Duck and Goofy all awaken after the year’s slumber that concluded the first Kingdom Hearts. Players must guide the trio, as well as other cast members, on their journey to destroy the powerful Kingdom Hearts. Any RPG fan should tackle this epic tale featuring some of the most iconic characters in history.

The Good

Many improvements over the previous game, Fixed camera angle and new gameplay dynamics, Tons of guest appearances and cameos, Wonderfully rich familiar environments, Excellent voice acting and music.

The Bad

The standard level of difficulty is far too easy, Some of the Square characters are given horrible dialogue, Gameplay relies too heavily on button mashing.

The Bottom Line

The unlikely but successful collaboration between Square Enix and Disney Interactive returns in Kingdom Hearts II; where a darkly-cloaked Mickey Mouse joins Donald, Goofy, and Sora as they continue their adventure into several popular Disney-inspired worlds. Battling against the Heartless once more, the dedicated group of friends now find themselves up against an all-new enemy threat -- a mummy-wrapped ruler of unknown origin. Also fresh to the series is a brand new meter known as the "Transformation Drive" that allows players to merge with other team members to create more powerful versions of themselves. New costume designs, improved camera controls, and the answer to lingering plot questions from the first game are also included. Developed exclusively for the PlayStation 2.

Kingdom Hearts II is a long, cameo-infused joyride that improves upon the original and manages to be quite entertaining despite some minor problems with the gameplay mechanics.

The smoothest and most seamless action/RPG to grace the PlayStation 2. It's more addictive than "Grandia III," more charming than "Dragon Quest VII," and as memorable as the granddaddy of them all - "Final Fantasy [insert Roman numeral here]."

A definite let down. The combat was way too simple, and while the number of attacks and abilities gives the player a lot of ways to kill opponents, it's eventually unfulfilling and boring.

Game Features

Sean Marquette Relays His Experiences Voicing "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Kingdom Hearts II" "You definitely have to over enthuse, or overemphasize certain parts of a line or certain reactions or feelings of a line to really make sure the audience understands what's going on."
