Kingdom Hearts II Member Review for the PS2

Oh, boy, some of you guys just write lame reviews saying you hate it or you love it. Anyway main storyline in this game-

Sora, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey, Riku, and Kiri ( I know I spelled that wrong), are back for another game focusing on the power of the heart, dark and light, yadi, yada. BUT there is a new twist, instead of pointing at the heartless, the finger of blame goes to the brand new "Organization 13" where there is "Nobodys" the opposite of the heartless.

"Gee whiz! What are the nobodys???"

The weird shaped thing is only one of few nobodys that you will meet along your journey. I think there is only....about 7 different nobodys that you will repeatedly meet throughout the game.

The story begins weird-like, you start as this dude named "Roxas" who lives in "Twilight" town. sound familiar? ya, it should, remember "Traverse Town" from the first game??? Anywho you play for about 5 hours until you get to a point where miraculously Roxas finds Sora "sleeping" in a giant egg shaped chamber........doesnt that make sense? Wait till you play the game. Lets Review------So basically Roxas has dreams about Sora, goes for 5 days experiencing unimaginable & ridiculous things (like weilding the basic keyblade for example). Fights nobodys, meets other people yadi yada....so he finds yoda...I mean Sora....and then thinks, then the "mysterious annoying bright white light" comes up and Sora finds himself awake in this chamberish egg, wakes up donald and goofy, then they set out to find the king, who "convieniently" shows up at Twilight town talks, ect, ect, and then he sends you off to a wizards castle. Where did I lose you in this? most likely after I said "The story". Anyway...moving on....

The controls feature a one way mash-you-finger-on-the-button-all-you-can-until-it- turns-blue fighting system where, as long as you have the right abilty, you could pretty much fight with one arm, having that arm tied behind you back with the control, and being double blind folded.... sounds exciting dont it? okay, okay it isnt ALL that easy, it does require some skills when fighting the bigger bosses, and (yay) Sephiroth. Yep, our good ole buddy Sephiroth, who didnt even speak a single word of dialog in the last KH, is back! Only this time you dont have to plug in a gameshark to beat him! Back to controls, The new reaction comand is prety sweet, jam down triangle enough times when the screen says so and you get to see awesome Japanse moves done only in a videogame....seriously someare worth checking out, while others......I just wont say anything.....

Characters---Almost everybody is back, dont expect to see to many FF characters, but they are ther. I think that creativity was being sucked out the room when organization 13 was created, but you see enough of them to be content. By the way, in case I've stumped you, the heartless ARE still in the game so DO NOT PANIC.....actually...there are more heartless characters than there is nobodys....funny enough the nobody kill the heartless like poison kills rats. not that you see it often, but it does happen.....lets see...what else............oh, yippy, Maleficient returns....not that you kill her again but disney must of been high that day......ohhhh the good times................

Music, and anything else i might have been stupid enough to forget-----

           Music....not much to say there.....still the weird operatic tracks...just alittle bit more.... uhh how could I say this..."groove".......and the thing I forgot....there is something new called "Forms" where Sora can use one or both of his companions (Donald, Goofy) to transform into kick arse Sora....its worth looking at. Also, the graphics=flawless. Worlds.....pretty decent. Worth playing? ya, if your like me, you'll spend 70 hours trying to complete EVERYTHING, and that includes upgrading your forms to their max, trying to get all of the synsthesis items (hint: save those for the a while, dont use them right away). Finally the movies. Awesome. The best part, if you die something happens, you want to play again and start a new game....there is a "skip scene" button. I that great or what??? just hit "start" during a scene, and BAM you may skip it, if you wish.

Have A Nice Day...........
