I remember hearing about this game for the first time... Shit, I think I was in 7th grade at the time. Me and my friends were talking about how lame the idea seemed, and our budding manly egos were too gung-ho to stoop to playing Disney games.
But, I got to try the game anyway soon after it came out, and it really impressed the hell out of me. Definitely not what I expected, and it was way better than my expectations too. I became an instant fan of the title. I loved KH2 as well.
However, my problem with the series is that it seemed to have just jumped onto handhelds. I don't do handhelds, so I have not played a single KH game on them.
According to wiki, out of 10 games, only 2 of them were actually on consoles. I thought "Eh I'll just skip the handhelds and see what KH3 will be like."
And... nothing. Just more goddamned handheld titles instead. Now I feel like the handheld titles have extended the story pretty far beyond what I last remember it being.
It disappoints me, because I loved KH 1 and 2, and have zero interest in playing the handheld ones. I just hope that if and when KH3 comes out, I won't be lost over everything I've missed.
