Kingdom Hearts 2 Review

[Code Seven]

Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts series joins Disney and Final Fantasy to create the game worth playing for all ages. before i can place other opinions on this i'll lay the facts down first.

Storyline explanation:(i won't give away spoilers)This game takes place after Chain of memories namely 1 year,a boy named roxas: has been having a lot of strange things happening in his town prefferably these: and some others such as a ghost train and a doppleganger. he soon discovers that he could use the keyblade and such fought the creepy Figure in the latex jumpsuit(dusks) however as the story progresses more strange things happen. he later discovers he is the nobody of Sora: the main protagonist in this series. and that he needed to merge with him for then sora would awake from his slumber(1 year to be exact) from there the game prologue ends and your are in the main part of the game.(to learn more play the game you won't regret it)

Gameplay:The Game Play mechanics are fairly the same as the 1st kingdom hearts
you know Attack,Magic,Items. however there is a new feature called Drive Form in which sora can tap into his outfit and unleash it's true power(sounds far fetched i know) his basic forms are: Valor Form for attacking and Wisdom form for spells. also in battles there is another feature called reaction commands in which your press Triangle and a sequence of fighting cutscenes will occur similiar to the force unleased finishing move except it doesn't really finish them off it just weakens them.

Graphics:They are really impressive considering that the game was released in 2005,it's cutscenes are solid and the voice acting is impressive.

Enemies:now the first kingdom hearts introduced a breed called :Heartless however apart from that you will have to deal with Nobodies explanation: when a person's heart turns to darkness a heartless is created however it's body is left behind creating a shell of their former selves however nobodies cannot feel emotion for they do not have a heart. because of this they are neither light or dark meaning they do not truly exist. the main people you'll be dealing with is organization XIII: Their main purpose is to form kingdom hearts for them to finally gain a heart.

Music:It's pretty good what you would expect from a final fantasy game except not really set in medieval or royalty melody.

Challenge:Well it's pretty darn good since i only played easy mode i especially had a hard time against luxord and other organization members.

Storyline(opinion):Perfect i swear this is one of the most solid storylines that i've ever seen props to square enix.

Mechanics:Easy to grasp fairly easy to handle too


ALL IN ALL:

Storyline:10
Gameplay:9
Characters:10
Mechanics:9
Graphics:9.5
Challenge 9

SOO.....

TOTAL SCORE:9.5

A must own for any rpg gamer or gamer for that matter.
