Kingdom Hearts 2


Kingdom Hearts 2 is the action RPG sequel to the 2001 video game, Kingdom Hearts. It was developed in 2005 by Square Enix and published by Buena Vista Games for the Sony Playstation 2 console. A mix of Final Fantasy and Disney flavors, Kingdom Hearts 2 offers a better gameplay, better graphics and a whole new cast of characters and worlds. This game is one of my favorites so enjoy the amateur review!

Square Enix + Disney = Epic Game and Graphics

The thought of having two unlikely game makers, Square and Disney making an awesome RPG will make you say: "How the heck did they do that?". At first I was doubtful of playing this game but due to my love of RPG's I bought it anyway. I was completely amazed with the graphics, gameplay and story of the game. Having Final Fantasy characters and Disney classics made the game balance. Its always fun to see the different side of the cute Disney characters kicking
some Heartless and Nobody butts ( *cough* King Mickey, Goofy, Donald *cough*). Square Enix has a long history of making RPG's with good and long storylines, and this is all the same in Kingdom Hearts 2. As of any Final Fantasy games, KH2 has a lot of characters with awesome hairdo's and lots of hair gel have been used. I mean, look at Cloud and Sora's hair. How did their hair become so sleek?? But the fusion of Final Fantasy and Disney, I got to admit is an awesome combination. Its a formula that makes Kingdom Hearts 2 a great game.

A Whole New World




Sora and co. are out again saving others and searching for their friends, but where will they go to find them? They will find them in different worlds of course! Kingdom Hearts 2 has a roster of new worlds that are not present in the previous games. Although most of the old worlds are still there, some of the new worlds include Beast's Castle, Land of Dragons, Pride Lands and Port Royal. This helped expand the Kingdom Hearts universe even more. What's sad though is some of the older worlds didn't make it to KH2 like the Deep Jungle and Wonderland. But even with these downside, the new worlds still made up what's lost. ; )


Drives? Limits? Summons? Oh my!
