Adventurous - By: Yojimbo37, 11 Dec 2008 
At first, I didn't know what this game was about. I only heard that final fantasy characters werein it. & i was a fan of that. I also loved the disney characters. when i played it through, i kinda got right into the story. so adventurous & a good battle system.

WOW - By: J. Hodge, 11 Apr 2008 When I saw that Square Enix were going to mix the characters from the Disney Movies with Final Fantasy I could not see how it would work. Disney gamesin the past have always been very basic & for the younger gamer whereas Final Fantasy is for hardcore gamers who dont mind spending hours on end to level up there character. However, no one does RPG's like Square-Enix & once again they have passed all expectations & produced a great action RPG which is up there with the best of them.
You play the role of Sora, a young boy who's world gets attacked by the heartless: an evil organisation run by Disney villans, & gets separated from his best friends Rikou & Kairi who become sucked into the "darkness". In a quest to find his friends he also has to stop the heartless from destroying other worlds & befriends Donald & Goofy on the way. You encounter many of the brilliant disney worlds like Alice & Wonderland & Aladin which as you would have hoped stay true to thosein the movies. With a huge cast of cameo appearences such as the lion king & Cloud from final fantasy seven the action never gets dull & with the graphics being of a high standard it really captures the Disney magic.
Even with a fantastic plot if the gameplays not good then it's just no fun to play. Once again Square-Enix doesn't let you down by keeping the gameplay fast fun & frantic. There is something for everyone as it keeps the classic levelling up gameplay from the final fantasy series but get rids of the turn based fighting for a more action based combat system. It's easilly accesible to pick up & play whilst having weapon upgrades & combining items for the hardcore gamers. It's a game where there is something for everyone with platforming elements & even spaceship fights as you get from world to world which play very similarly to those of Lylat wars. My only small complaint would be sometimes the camera sways out of control & can make the tricky platforming elements even more difficult, but this is only a very minor & rare problemin an incredible game.
Kingdom Hearts is a game anyone can play & enjoy. With a great plot full of darkness & twists & awesome gameplay it is an action rpg which is on a whole new level. This is without mentioning the amazing musical score, epic boss battles, hundreds of collectables & how the games playtime is well over 30 hours long. With a great ending which promises a sequel you will be left stunned & dying to return back to the incredible Disney worlds.
A wonderfully charming game - By: Book Lemur, 01 Apr 2008 I actually thought this would be a good game to play with my nephew as I thought it would be was one of the normal disney style games (i.e. mostly platform, not much depth) but I was so wrong - I actually ended up playing it on my own & enjoyed every minute of it! This game is wonderful to play, the graphics are great, the voices (esp. of the disney characters) are very well done & the storyline, as it unfolds, far exceeded my expectations. The different baddies you fight are quite inventive & the fights crop up very frequently as you explore the worlds, which gives you plenty of opportunity to level up & more abilities are offered to you as your AP/MP etc increases.
Be aware though that the game starts off quite slowly without any fighting & it takes quite a few hours to get though to the 'real game' - I must admit I even enjoyed this part of it - it was quite relaxing & allowed you to get to know three of the main characters.
In summary, this has to be one of the most enjoyable games I've played on the PS2.
An amazing, challenging world! - By: Mrs. Sharon L. Lawson, 01 Mar 2008 
Final fantasy characters fighting side-by-side with Disney characters to defeat their enemies? Yes, it's true & it works brilliantly! Stunning graphics, fluid gameplay, great soundtrack, it's all here. The game is deceptive though, it is not as easy as you'd think despite the Disney element. Maleficent's dragon is a very tough boss to defeat & as the game progresses, it gets quite tough. Hollow Bastion is very easy to get lostin so brace yourself. You can use Dumbo, Bambi & others to help youin battle which is cute & strange - innocent, sweet little animalsin hard combat! Finding all 100 dalmatian pups was a challenge too. I'd recommend the walkthrough guide for first time players but only for emergencies ;o) Sussing as much out for yourself is very rewarding. One of my top 10 games.
The song "Simple & Clean" by Utada Kikaru at the end is beautifull!
