Kingdom Hearts

I think KH was a cute idea. I also think that they ruined everything I liked about the FF characters. I wish they'd have chosen a different company to do a crossover with.
What would I like to see? I'd like to see them scrap the franchise and spend their time, money and effort on something better than a KH title, and something definitely better than .

Number one was great, number 2 was great after the godawful 5 hour story but it was far too easy even on proud mode...

I really liked the first one because of the challenging gameplay, relatively simple storyline and great presentation. (the level design was dodgy in places making it hard to know where to go at times.) hopefully number three wont add any more groups that everyones just ignored up untill now, wont reduce the difficulty futher and WILL streamline combat more (thats the thing number 2 nailed for me, sora controlled great.)

I love the series. The gameplay, the story, the characters: Love them all.
I really can't wait for Birth by Sleep. I know it's getting released in America, so I assume it will be released in Europe at some point. (have to get a new PSP though. The analogue stick on mine is knackered)

Never have I wanted a DS, until they announced 300-something/2 days. I FUCKING love them!

I got to play a Japanese version of BBS, and it was a lot of fun! The game let's you play through three different stories. Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses, so it doesn't get repetitive Easily one of my favorite PSP games to date.

I like kingdom hearts a lot. Kingdom hearts one was the reason I bought a playstation 2.

When the sequal came out I was all over it. I was a bit disapointed though because the game was far too easy. It was way to easy to get strong fast and quicktime events made any enemy that stood a chance of being a challenge easier to defeat. Other than that the entire game was still a good time.

Chain of memories was a game I gave a pass when it came out on the Gameboy advance. Mostly because I sold my gameboy advance being convinced I'm just not going to have fun on it anymore. When it came out on the ps2 and after playing kingdom hearts 2 and realizing that I had questions that really could only be answered in the chain of memories I played it on the ps2. And I had fun. It was great. After playing kingdom hearts 2 I welcomed the challenge the card system presented me. It was a great for a stratagist such as I.

356/2 days was great. It was kind of easier without the card system but it wasn't so easy like kingdom hearts 2 was. It had some other system that kind of made things difficult. The story was stellar if a bit dry and the keyblade designs were abissmal. The chance to play as the other organizations made up for it though.

Birth by sleep should be pretty good i'm awaiting it's arrival.

One of my favourite game series. Absolutely love the main game KHI & II but I find some of the spin-off a bit lacking - they didn't offer me any closure while raising more question than answering them. The plot is getting convoluted since they introduce Xion and I can guess Birth By Sleep is going to be another mindf*ck.

 

[Danallighieri]

Great game series, original, fun, generally great... but the one question I have is where's KH 3!?!? Bring it out for the ps3 already!

 

[gibboss28]

Pretty good games, granted I've only played 1 and 2, and none of the other bits on DS or PSP or whatnot, but still fun to play.

 

[Your once and future Fanboy]

Played all of them, loved them all, cant wait for number 3 and broken dreams on PSP.

BTW the new FF XIII versus is designed by the creator of Kingdom Hearts and will be very reminiscent of those games.

God I love the first two. Amazing gameplay, great rpg elements and kick arse music especially fighting off the 1000 heartless was the most fun I have ever had with a video game ever

I played one on the DS but I can't remember which however the card gameplay crap was so annoying but the awesome boss battles completely made up for it.

That one was Chain of Memories, the GBA Kingdom Hearts game.

 

[VincentX3]

Played a little bit of the handheld version

and beat KH2!! never played the 1st

Loved it though!! Can't wait for the 3rd!

 

[Da Joz]

I really enjoyed both of the PS2 games, I'm looking foward to the third.

That's the one, did you play it?

I think the series is becoming too weighty.

The first one is my favorite game of all time. The world was mysterious and involving, and had just the right amount of emotion.

Now? "Extraneous" would be the word I'd use to describe how it's become. With every iteration it seems more and more things are needlessly tacked on. Alternate selves, that black-haired girl that somehow formed when Sora committed seppuku...it's all just too much. I can't keep up at all. And not just plot elements either. I mean, did you play Chain of Memories? It's a perfect showcase of how Square changes up combat for no fathomable reason other than because it can. I die a little inside every time I get card broken. Not to mention 358/2 days. The conversations that take place in that game are so. Boring. All. The time. And not that I didn't like the innovation in having Disney and RPGs get along, but does anyone else feel that The Disneyism has kind of worn out its welcome? There's only so much you can do to weave the stories between KH and the various movies before it gets repetitive (though I like what they did with giving Mickey and co. alternate versions to fit in with the general theme. Maybe they should do that with everyone?)

While I didn't think much of it at the time, I feel a certain midichlorian-like line is wholly deserving of a retrospective "Are you kidding me?". Near the end of the second game, Mickey says something along the lines of "The Darkness isn't really bad, it's just...kind of spooky."

Wow.

indeed I did many years ago, though I never got to the end. I think I got stuck on Riku, went to grind and eventually lost interest.

Yeah he was a massive pain to beat, I think there are some nutjobs who has completed it without taking damage. It was a silly difficult battle

 

[science girl]

I have played KH 1 and 2 it is an epic series. I do believe that Kh1 was better than Kh2 though. I hope KH3 is good I'm looking forward to it
