Amazon.co.uk Review
Ever wondered what would happen if the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney collided? It's an odd concept to be sure, but from the most schizophrenic of acorns the mighty gaming oak of Kingdom Hearts has grown. Legendary role-playing game makers Square have been given unprecedented liberties with the entire Disney universe and have created a game featuring everything from The Nightmare Before Christmas to The Little Mermaid. This is odd enough in itself when you have characters as disparate as Tarzan and Donald Duck teaming up, but becomes majorly freaky when Square thrown in a variety of their own characters such as Cloud, Squall, and Aeris from the various Final Fantasy games. But this incongruity has one side benefit in that the storyline behind the game is by necessity rather vague, which seems to have stopped Square from filling three CDs full of their usual New Age whining about Mother Earth. Instead they've spent even more time on the graphics, and the end result is a quite stunning 3-D cartoon.

As for the gameplay, it may come as a surprise to learn that it doesn't actually feature, as all the Final Fantasy games do, turn-based combat. Instead it's essentially a scrolling beat-'em-up-cum-platformer with exactly the kind of complicated Square-style knobs you'd expect. The game may be a little shallow, but it's an impressive artistic achievement and to be quite frank any title that allows you to magically summon Bambi out of thin air to attack evil demons of the underworld has got to be worth some sort of recommendation. --David Jenkins

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful, but with a slight problem.   December 26, 2008
Daniel L. Lidster
My daughter absolutely loves all the Kingdom hearts games; she pretty much loves anything Kingdom hearts! One thing she told me one day was that, the game was very hard even on the easiest level you can get on! She said sometimes she would spend an hour trying to fight something because even if she is a higher level than it was too hard for her. I must say out of all the great stories (and the million times she has showed me her strategy guide) It must be a great story with a great story line, but she told me that she is glad they made a number two easier because number one is to hard (even though she beat number two once and almost about to beat it a second time)


5 out of 5 stars A PS2 Title Not To Be Missed   December 20, 2008
Experteo (Siloam Springs, AR USA)
This game is really fun and addictive. The beginning part starts kind of slow, but after that it's just pure heartless (You'll know what I mean if you know the story *wink*) goodness. There are some places in the game where it gets monotonous and repetitive, but if you want to know what all the hype is about, you like Disney movies, and enjoy RPG's then get this game. You won't be disappointed. There are some really cheap prices too. I bought mine for less than 16$ or so. Anyone wanting to know more details about this game just go to [...] and type in the name of this game.


5 out of 5 stars Great   December 19, 2008
B. Johnson (Las Vegas, NV USA)
This game has only one downfall in my opinion, which was that the screen can sometimes be hard to manuever, especially during battles. However, the plot, the characters, the dialog... wonderful! I personally loved this game more than the second one.


2 out of 5 stars I only gave it two stars because I love the second one!!!   November 6, 2008
John Minor (Clermont, FL USA)
This game was really not that great,I played it thinking that I would love it,but whenever I started playing it,I didn't like it,you can't move you screen which is a HUGE handicap,the gummi ships are bad because you have to put them together piece by piece which takes time and sometimes it won't let you do it.The game is also very hard,I love anything that has to do with Kingdom Hearts but this was a letdown.


5 out of 5 stars Got it in 4th Grade   October 7, 2008
Salem M. Fakhary (Los Angeles)
when the game came out i didnt no anything about FF and really didnt care much for disney... but as a little 4th or 5th grader i was really curious... so i bought the game. i loved the game soo much. i later got kingdom hearts 2 and i have the psp and cant w8 for birth by sleep. at times the game might seem a little too, how do i say this, written for kids, but just like the cat in the hat books, it has a really thought out story line for a more mature mind to grasp. sadly i never beat the game, i got to the second to last boss, and then my memory got corruped(cuz i turned it off while i was saving on accident). and also never got around to beat the second 1, i was on the last boss, then skool started or something, forgot. and well, i like them cuz its like a movie, but it also gives u a fun time. Very Addictive, if u havnt played it, buy it now
