So what if there are Disney characters? Kingdom Hearts is
awesome. Period.
It's one of those games where I just told myself,
"I'm buying this now." So... I bought it. And I finished it.
And again... it is awesome. Let me correct myself; it is
beyond awesome.
The game is pure fun. The hack-and-slash gameplay
never gets repetitive, and the AI-controlled party members are
actually useful. There's a fairly large amount of worlds to visit,
and although sometimes you will be sent back and forth a couple of
times in some worlds, that barely subtracts from the overall greatness
of this game. There's more gameplay than cut scenes, which is a plus.
There are a wide variety of abilities you can obtain
and quite a few key-chains that change the look and power of your key
blade. There's also a somewhat high number of magic spells to learn,
including your favorite Final Fantasy spells, which can be set to
three shortcut commands for easy use. Magic will be helpful
later on; especially the healing spells, as the better potions of the
game can be rare.
The graphics are great. The characters are
very cartoon-like, and the Disney characters look like they were cut
straight out of a movie; the models are perfectly accurate to
whichever movie they came from.
Don't let the Disney characters stop you from
playing Kingdom Hearts. It's very, very good.
