2002 Kingdom Hearts was released. After 3 years of waiting Kingdom Hearts II is finally released. But was it worth the wait? The million dollar question that not everyone has the answer to.
Graphics & Visuals: The graphics are slightly better than its predecessor since KHII takes the PS2 technology to the limit. Especially if you enter first person mode while in the Pirates of the Caribbean world and look at a characters face. The frame rate is pretty solid. So the game shouldn't slow down when you're up against a large amount of enemies. Also the games visuals and special effects will just leave you gawping most of the time. The infuriating camera system that was in KH is nowhere to be found. You can now click the R3 button and it will auto centre the camera again. You can also rotate the camera freely with the right analogue stick. Yet it can be pretty distracting sometimes. While I was in battle with Beast in my party. Beast was behind Sora which makes the camera...
Four years ago, Kingdom Hearts impressed everybody, even those who didn't think the Square Soft-Disney alliance would ever work. Now we have the long awaited sequel to Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories: Kingdom Hearts II.
Story: I personally felt that the story was agonizingly slow, but it picks up soon after you gain control of Sora, before slowing down again, with the only truely important scenes taking place in Hollow Bastion, Twilight Town and The World That Never Was. The story does pick up again in the final hours of the game, and it does rap up a lot of questions from the previous games. The story just isn't as well spread out as the original game. 7/10 Characters: Everybody just has a lot more depth than in the previous game. I think the characters are all much more well done than the previous game. 9/10 Sound/Music/Voice: Let me just say it's all very well done. The song at the...
THE GOOD:
*The Music* Normally for games, I'll mute my TV and turn on some music of my own because I prefer to listen to music that I actually like. However, in this game, I never turned the TV to a mute. This is honestly great quality music and sound effects for the game. I suppose the only annoying sound effect that you could get really tired of is the sound that Sora makes when you attack your enemies. *Replay Value* One of the best parts about any good RPG is its replay value, and Kingdom Hearts II is no exception. Some of my friends, only having owned the game for two or three weeks, have beaten it twice already (I've also been working on a few new games). Even though you already know what's going to happen, it's just a lot of fun to try and go through things in a different way. Because in the beginning you can choose your weapon growth style and your ability growth style, you can change how you gain abilities throughout the...
THE GOOD:
Story Gameplay Characters Graphics Camera is much improved Some of the keyblade designs are really cool THE BAD: SUMMARY:
THE GOOD:
The Good - The all new Drive System - Vast New Levels - Utada Hikaru's singing - Gradual Unfolding Storyline (As Sora) - Long Life Span/ Replayability - Fast-paced and up-beat battle system - Charge Attacks with certain party members - Stunning Visuals THE BAD: SUMMARY:
THE GOOD:
Fast paced fighting gave you the feel of being control throughout the whole game. The addition of the new Drive Gauge system which let you transform. A really good thing to happen was the improved Gummi Ship System, I wasn't fond of the previous one but on Kingdom Hearts II you would probably be liking this version much more. Once you beat the final boss there is still so much to do and it could keep you playing for possibly 60 hours or more to fully complete the game. THE BAD: SUMMARY:
THE GOOD:
+ Highly addictive RPG gameplay. + Plenty of devastating and entertaining abilities are unlocked rapidly, always giving you something new. + Many mechanics from the original have been tweaked (though sometimes for the worse) THE BAD: SUMMARY:

THE GOOD:
~ The storyline is great, and gets deeper with the introduction of Orginization XIII ~ Reconstructions of Disney movie scenes are very accurate and detailed ~ Graphics are significantly improved ~ A new Skip Scene function makes sure you won't get annoyed listening to the same thing over again ~ Addition of mini-games and Gummi Ship missions ~ Voice cast employs some well-known celebrities, all of whom play their part masterfully THE BAD: SUMMARY: Lowest Prices |
