 DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!...........not September 6, 2008
look man if u do not like this game U R INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!! this game is my favorite game ever!! parents all i want 2 say is that it is a very good and clean game no cussing at all. the only 2 things they say is jerk and idiot. kids u would love this game. BUY IT!!!!!!
Hands down: Best Game Ever!! September 4, 2008
I loved the first Kingdom Hearts game. Loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the gameplay, so I was really excited for the sequal. I'd give this game a much higher rating, if possible. This one seems less pointed at young children than the last (Sora finally acts his age!!) I'll go over what I think are the 3 most important things to go over in a game: Gameplay/Battle System, Characters/Plot, and Graphics/Sound/Glithes ect.
Gameplay/Battle System:
The gameplay was great! Not for one moment did I get bored or uninterested. And the battle system is MUCH more efficient than KHI (Sora still has all the same magic powers, except "stop"). You use "Reaction Commands" by pressing the triangle button, and it'll let you perform certain attacks against an enemy that will make fighting it much easier. Also, Sora has "forms" in this game, 5 of them, to be exact. While using forms, Sora's clothes change color and he gets 2 keyblades. To use forms, you must give up one or 2 members of the party, but it's well worth it. Sora's 5 forms: Valor, Wisdom, Master, Final, and Anti-Form
Valor: Give up Goofy for this form, my personal favorite, mainly based on Air Attacks.
Wisdom: Give up Donald, I personally don't use this form much, mainly based on Magic attacks
Master: Give up both Donald and Goofy, very powerful form. I don't use it much, though
Anti: Sometimes, when you go to use a form for the second or third time in a battle, Sora will turn into "Anti-Form" resembling Shadow Sora from Neverland in KHI. Kind of a useless form in my opinion
Final: You have to unlock this form in a special way, but it's by far the best one to use. Instead of running, you hover in the air, and your 2 keyblades float behind you. This form can be rather complicated to use at first.
Characters/Plot:
Yay, the characters finally look and act their age!! Sora gets rid of his rather goofy looking clothes early on in the game, and all the other characters (Except Goofy and Donald) have new attire. It brings back most of the KHI characters (only really missing minor roles like Tidas and Wakka), as well as many new characters (most of which are introduced in Chain of Memories, the GBA [and PS2 for Japan] game in between KHI and KHII) My personal opinion, though, is that there are a few too many Keyblade holders, I don't want to say who in order not to give away spoilers.
As for the plot, I liked it much better than in KHI. It's more epic, and darker than the first. You have more than just the overwhelming loads of heartless to battle in this game, brand new enemies called "Nobodies". I was a bit confused during the prolouge of the game (because I never played Chain of Memories) but that added a fun plot twist. The plot never got boring to me, and I always wanted to know what happened next. I think I only really got stuck on 2 bosses, but eventually passed them. So, very fun and entertaining plotline. And the characters are still great!
Graphics ect.
The graphics are simply AMAZING in this game, especially for 2005. For those type of things, Square Enix really goes all out. And the graphics are breathtaking on a PS3. The water in the beginning of the game looks real, and you can see depth and lines so clearly, you'd swear it's almost real.
I was suprised at finding no glitches in the game, even after playing it many times.
As for Voiceovers, AWESOME job!! They brought back the same people to play Sora, Kairi, and Riku (I cannot even start to tell you how pleased I am with this: there's nothing that bothers me more in a game series than a character voice change) and they still did absolutely wonderful!
So, I would definately recommend this game for anyone who wants an RPG game with excellent gameplay and great characters. Of couse, I would also recommend playing KHI first, as well as Chain of Memories, if possible.
 KHII August 25, 2008
A totally fun game and a must get if you're a Kingdom Hearts fan. I only wish that it wasn't so easy. The new 'commands' option that the game has makes it really easy to win battles if you hit them at the right times. But still, it had some really fun moments and it's worth playing.
How to beat the experiment boss in under ten minutes August 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Here are some tricks to beat that 1289 hit point boss the Experiment in Kingdoom Hearts 2
Use trinty they do a decent amont of damage
Have goffies and donald default shield and staff switch with there stronger ones when found or bought.
Use drive gauge to turn into one of the four avilable forms usable in this section. There's about a 10 to 50% chance that you may turn into Anti form instead of Valor, Wisdoom or Master. That is how about half the boss HP more or less was taken away in the video I watched. Just be carefully when you use it because you can't use magic or items in Antiform and you take double the damage each time you get hit by a attack. However you have enhanced speed and attack power so you can do a lot of damage in the short amount of time until your gauge drains or you or the boss dies which ever happens first. Use these startegies and heal occasional you might be able to take down this boss in less than ten minutes. Playing time may very depending on difficult settings. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
anyone will like this game July 22, 2008
Like Final Fantasy? Or Disney? Or maybe both?
Let me tell you that if you like one or both of these things than buy the game. Its not kiddish in any way since people think since its Disney its childish. WRONG. Seriously I enjoyed this game so much that i had to be torn away from the screen to eat something =D
If you like RPG's like I do you will LOVE this game. I found myself wanting to play more just to see what would happen next and I was DYING to see Riku again. However, it was all worth it when i finally got to see him towards the end of the game.
Graphics and voices are amazing. The only "complaint" I have is that there is a lot of repetitiveness with the X button and I hardly ever used summons (personally I believe its the way you're style of fighting is. For me I just like to slice away with the keyblade and found the summons pretty useless for kingdom hearts one and two)
But don't let what i said not make you change your mind of buying the game. I am happy I purchased these series and am anticipating that they will make a third kingdom hearts soon.
