Summary

One of the best games I've ever played

The Good

Kingdom Hearts is one of the best games ever to grace the Playstation 2. It is essentially something along the lines of Final Fantasy meets Disney, with characters like Yuffie, Squall (aka Leon), Cloud, and (of course) Sephiroth, as well as Disney characters like Donald Duck, Goofy, Pinocchio, and many more. The game is balanced in difficulty. It's not too easy or too hard. The voice cast is one of the best in video game history, including Haley Joel Osment as Sora the protagonist. There are plenty of secrets hidden all through the worlds, which give the game much replay value.

The Bad

The only real fault that I found while playing this game is the inability to complete the game properly. After defeating the final boss, you get a long cutscene (which can't be skipped) and the credits (which also can't be skipped). After that, It shows the characters with the words "The End" onscreen. The only option is to switch off the console. In other words, you can't save the game after defeating the final boss.

The Bottom Line

Overall, I would recommend Kingdom Hearts to any video game fan.
