After playing Kingdom Hearts, I thought this would be a great follow-up. I was disappointed. KHII is pretty much a straight line game. You won't need a walkthrough for help--so if that is a bonus for you then go ahead. The graphics are beautiful, but I have come to expect more from Squaresoft.

Kingdom Hearts 2 was a well put together game. The controls are a bit different from the original. As well as the new reaction commands being put into play this is a new style for RPG combat. The story line is also a bit off key from the original. The way that you have to unlock the worlds to get to the next one is a bit off key do to the fact that it was you in the first one who locked all the worlds. Even if your not a kid or are not into Disney I would still give this game a try. So overall I would give this game a 9 on a scale of one to ten

This is one of my first games on my new ps2. I'm new to the whole ps2 world. The last system I had before this was Sega Gensis. The game is very Zelda like. You have missions and quest to complete yet your inside a magical world of Disney. For a beginner this is a really easy game to play. I've figured out a lot of the stuff on my own and they tell a lot of the directions too. I'd def recommend this to anyone.

In all honesty, Kingdom Hearts 2 was a disappointment. It was an okay game, but nothing compared to the original.
Most of the time I was watching unnecessary cutscenes. The rest of the time I was waiting for that spark of excitment I got when playing Kingdom Hearts, and it barely ever came.
The main plot was solid enough. Complex yes, but in a good way. Emotional and more or less satisfying. I didn't mind the 4 hour tutorial.
As for the small plots that you had to follow through in each disney world, it was a different story. Whether I was putting out light fixtures in Beauty and the Beasts World or playing dance dance revolution with the little mermaid, I couldn't help but wonder, what's the point? In the original, Sora was traveling through various worlds, looking for his friends, sealing keyholes and unraveling the plot. But he was also playing a part in the classic disney stories with memorable characters and wicked antagonists who actually had purposes. Now he's running around and opening gateways to other worlds so he can search for some wack job "nobodies" who are pretty much trying to accomplish the same things that Ansem was in the original. The old pizaz that used to be there is absent and one can't help but feel that their putting up with all these lame disney worlds because they have to.
I liked Tron and the Lion King okay. And maybe Steam Boat Willy and Mulan. But worlds like Beauty & the Beast or Disney Castle, which I expected so much from, really fell short. Pirates of C. and the worlds from KH1 were just ridiculous.
I would play the original over and over because I loved the plot and the worlds and the challenging boss battles.
That idea never pops into my mind with Kingdom Hearts 2 because I know that 90% of the time I'll be skipping through cutscenes and the rest, battling bosses I could beat with my hands tied behind my back.
It is a rare case when sequals can live up to the standards of their originals. Kingdom Hearts 2, in my opinion, was not one of these cases. It fell short on so many levels and failed to be the awesome game it had the potential to be.
I will allow credit where credit is due and say that the game served good eye candy. I'm no graphics nerd but I can tell when their top notch. And Kingdom Hearts 2 came through in that respect.
But thats not enough to make an excellent game and it's obvious with this sequal.
