THE GOOD:
Some of the boss battles are quite enjoyable.
The AI of your companions is actually so good you may even grow dependant on them!
No grinding, you never really find any point in the game where you need to level-up to do any real progression.

THE BAD:
Horrendous voice acting, "There's no way I'll let you take Kairi's Heart!"
Predictable and disconnected plot, there's absolutely no relevance between any two worlds, although, this was probably to keep the disney worlds pure.
Repetitive monster battles, don't bother coming up with strategies, button mash until your opponent is about to attack, even a slightly well-timed 'guard' will save you.

SUMMARY:
For a long period of my life I overheard people talking about this series like it was untouchable, so naturally I developed a keen interest in the series.

It was unfortunate that I never got to play the game until well after its release, as I owned not a...

THE GOOD:
~Square has put forth some of their greatest effort on this game, with Final Fantasy's characters and characteristic architecture making an appearance.
~This is, perhaps, one of the best things Disney has done in collaboration with another company, with Disney characters and their official voices making an appearance.
~The plot is riveting and keeps you interested, even in its strange or hard-to-understand moments.
~Graphics are attractive, with Disney sets true to their respective movie and bright, colorful sets for the Kingdom Hearts original worlds.
~The voice cast is top-notch, with plenty of star power behind the voices.
~Gameplay, although standard, is fun and interesting to watch.

THE BAD:
~The plot is a little silly at times, and can be melodramatic.
~Some gamers argue that some of the FF characters are not represented correctly.
~Nothing is unique about the battle system.

SUMMARY:

Kingdom Hearts was hyped up not only by a fair amount by people who were wetting their pants while Kingdom Hearts ran many ads on TV (that, or because it has the Squaresoft logo, whatever works for you), but also by just about everyone else. Judging by the trailers and ads on TV, you'd be expecting such a spectacular game of epic proportions. I'm not going to lie; when I first saw the trailers, I was expecting such an epic game. It showcased Disney characters, Final Fantasy characters and a few other characters, as well as a few epic fights, but then again, when age comes into play, it really doesn't feel that great. There is a difference in enjoyment of games between 10 and 16. Back when I first bought it at 10 years old, I was fully getting into it. However, as I grew older, I began to reject the cutesy look of the game. Regardless, I still enjoy playing this game every once in a while. It's better than its PS2 sequel anyway.

To begin with, you have to select a...
THE GOOD:
-Amazing story
-Very addicting gameplay
-Beautiful graphics
-Excellent sound, music, and dialog
-Good length with lots to do
-Easy controls
-Clever and convenient Command Window
-Perfectly challenging
-You don't just run through the game; you actually have things to do as you go along

THE BAD:
-The camera can get on your nerves (what's wrong with Analog control?)
-Sora is a little slow, which gets annoying (but it doesn't affect the overall gameplay)

SUMMARY:
When I caught the first glimpse of the opening theme song of the game, I knew it would be awesome. Once I made it past the tutorial, I was officially hooked. And when I got to the real deal, there was no way of knowing if I would ever tire of the game. This is just a taste of what went into this masterpiece.

Graphics: 9.8 -- I was amazed at how clear and detailed these visuals are, especial...

THE GOOD:
Disney and Final Fantasy together; Free-roam...sort of; The battle system is no turn-based; Easy to pick up and play; the game's difficulty is friendly; not as predictable as Final Fantasy X; nor was this as boring as Final Fantasy X

THE BAD:
Short length; the beginning of the game serves no purpose; about half the scenes served no purpose; no Final Fantasy allies; tries too hard to be funny

SUMMARY:
Detailed Summary:
Kingdom Hearts is a game where a 14-year old boy, Sora, and his two friends, Kairi and Riku, are on their home island, wishing they would go outside their island. The island is Destiny Islands. Anyway, they build a raft, then these black creatures called Heartless (or in the game, the specific creatures attacking are called Shadows). Sora gets some mutant key called the Keyblade and he has to kill...

THE GOOD:
An outstanding creation combing the minds of Walt Disney and Square Enix. A collaboration of Final Fantasy characters and Disney characters alike. The elements in the story line work together to make a dramatic, sad and an action packed tale of an adventure beyond your wildest dreams. The lead characters are some of the most original you'll ever see. With all powerful villains and Golden Heroes, you'll want to keep playing until the very end...which will probably result with your fingers bleeding and your eye sockets sore from staring at the lustrous visuals.

The game expands about thirty to forty hours in length. But it all comes down to how fast you are with these action-roleplaying games. The story revolves around a boy named Sora who lives peacefully in the Destiny Islands with his best friends, Riku and Kairi. During a violent storm, a dark aura somehow reaches the...

THE GOOD:
It has an Utada Hikaru song.... Nuff said.
Nice visuals.
I love Donald and Goofy!!
Nice cameos by Square characters.
Nice spell selection

THE BAD:
You're not able to have Square characters in your party.
Not enough Square cameos
Nothing to keep you coming back after you beat the game.
Mindless battle system.
Funky camera and lock-on system

SUMMARY:
Back when Square announced that they were teaming up with Disney to make an RPG, people wondered what kind of drugs they were on. "This game's gonna suck!" "Disney? Like they ever made any good games..." "Ever since Final Fantasy VII, Square has been going downhill..." Bah!! >_< First of all, Final Fantasy VII is overrated. Shut up. And second, from the makers of Final Fantasy and the House of Mouse comes Kingdom Hearts. And guess what? It's pretty fun.

The visuals are the first thing that hit you....

THE GOOD:
Repetitive gameplay and somewhat way to short. Completed it without the extra stuff in less than one week.

THE BAD:
One too many Disney Characters...

SUMMARY:
Some people think that KH is underated and bad mainly because of all the freaking disney characters that were put into the game. Overall, this game was incredible The music in the game was phoneominial, but however the graphics wern't that great either. The blend of final Fantasy and Disny characters was a great idea, but some people like myself were dissapointed at the fact that they're were only a handful of Final Fantasy characters in the game overall. If your not of fan of Disney or Final Fantasy, you don't have to be to pick up and play this game. It's battle system was impressive and the moves, keychains, and weapons were great as well. The storyline and main plot behind Kingdom Hearts was great. There arn't as many extra's and bonus features as there were in Final...

THE GOOD:
Pleasing graphics, excellent storyline, excellent level diversity, interesting characters, smooth gameplay, good battle system, fairly long.

THE BAD:
Very little replay value, some objects that cannot be retreived when revisiting past levels

SUMMARY:
One of SquareSoft's less conventional projects, this game is a joy to play. Although combining Disney and Final Fantasy seems absurd to many, SquareSoft and Disney somehow pull it off. It features most of the Disney characters, and a handful from the more memorable Final Fantasy games.<br />
<br />
This game is visually pleasing, with simple yet effective graphics. The gameplay is smooth, and the battle system, although awkward at times, is quite functional. The game took me about 50 hours to complete. In an effort to give the game some replay value, some hidden bosses were thrown in, the most memorable and difficult being Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7.<br...

THE GOOD:
Amazin music and gameplay. plenty long and satisfing. Great battle system alon with cool weapons and leveling. It's very fun to travel from world-to world. Plus the bosses rock.

THE BAD:
Unless your way too picky there is nothing bad about this wonderful game. but...I guess the gummi ship garage could be re-done

SUMMARY:
Kingdom Hearts is a mix of Final Fantasy and disney and it is mixed just right. Kingdom hearts is a must buy for any rpg fan. Or better yet. any Disney or Final Fantasy fan. This game has come a long way even when it wasnt released and everybody thought it was going to suck. As soon as the game starts you will get lost in this epic RPG. I recomend this game for anybody. And now it is very cheap So I recomend buying it immedietly. There is plenty of action and puzzles for anyone.
