Story - 9/10 - Incredible. How SE thought up the idea of a joint game with Disney still boggles the mind, but it works. Only downside is of course the ending of the game, leaving you on such a cliffhanger, and you don't see Mickey! Or what happens to Riku, for that matter...
Graphics - 8.5/10 - Perfect for the game itself, but didn't quite push the capabilities of the PS2. Still well above average, but thats still below the average SE game. Tendage towards slight cel-shading zelda style did seem to work though...
Gameplay - 8/10 - The game is incredibly easy to play, which can be it's downside at times. Although you have your more challenging bosses (ahem, "me" for example), it can become repetitive leveling up at the end of the game, pressing nothing but x for attack and L1 for magic shortcuts.
Originality - 10/10 - No doubting this one. As i said, it was a completely unusual but brilliant idea. Some of the new sidequests proved very entertaining (apart from those blue mushrooms!) Battle system was also quite revolutionary, of the same ilk as Star Ocean 3: Til The End of Time.
Music Soundtrack - 8/10 - A couple of annoying songs and, i mean a couple, ruin an otherwise brilliant soundtrack. Simple and Clean begins the game in an amazing way, letting nothing on. Probably one of the best starts to an RPG ever.
OVERALL SCORE = 43.5/50 - Very, Very good game. Would be even better without just a couple of minor things. Like those mushrooms... GRRR.
Brief review today i know, but i must soon depart for a meeting
To Glitch I say... LT1 = So good you could fall asleep WITHOUT a lecturer present!
To the Rest I say... Buy Kingdom Hearts 2 - You cannot resist the pull of the Keyblade!
