If you played Legend Of Zelda before, then you basically know how the battle system should work. Its more of an action RPG then a turn based one. In other words, its completely different from almost all the FFs. The environment is interactive. Meaning you can hit a switch with fire, or light a room with Thunder. You have a command window at bottom left hand corner. Using the right analog stick allows you to control which command you want to use. You have the choices of ''Attack'', ''Magic'' and ''Item'' each doing exactly what they sound like. There's also a fourth bar in the command menu which functions like an ''Action'' command. For example, if you want to open a door, approach it and select the ''Open'' Command which would have taken the fourth slot. Otherwise, the fourth command is always blank. When you don't have to fight, the command window stays blue. However, when you run into an area where baddies might appear, you'll enter battle mode. The command window will turn Red and you can utilize your actions from the menu. Attack, Magic and Item are available here too, but the fourth command will change to a ''Special'' command, where you can utilize special moves you've equipped (more on this later). There is also a targetting system that allows to lock on to an enemy. By doing so, the camera will constantly focus at that enemy only. However, unlike Zelda, Sora doesn't automatically turn to face the enemy. So, it will take some time to adjust. Note that you can also adjust the AI of Donald and Goofy, customizing the way YOU want them to fight in battle. Extra Bonus. Outside of battle, you can also pop open a menu, allowing you to customize characters with abilities (think FF9) and equipment. You can also make characters hold certain Items so when battle occurs, these items become available for use. Please take note that you can also use the D-pad to move the command menu, but doing so will make the game incredibly difficult as it would just feel awkward and the command switching will be a lot slower. So where does the reduction come from? Well, after a while, battle get old. Its not like there's a point to shielding. Mash away with X and you can pretty much win most of the battles. Especially if you make your allies act defensively. It gets tiring to fight enemies over and over again while slamming on X.Read full review
What 2 jerks gave me a 'non' helpful rating I'll never know. I'm being honest and to the point. So with that said here's the deal on Kingdom Hearts. I bought this for my 8 year old son. My review is based on his benefit from it. He's a smart kid and decent in reading and a quick learner of game concepts. He used the book but has had to ask me to read passages to him he could not totally understand. Well, that's because he's just 8 years old. I guess the game may be geared to a slightly older audience of kids. I'll say good over all due to the age of my son. No complaints all though he now wants me to surf the web for a walk through and cheats on the game. Why would he need that? Kids liked it over all and you really can go wrong with Disney.

Very nostalgic, great graphics for 2002. The game is very detailed (and sometimes confusing) but that's part of the fun. I still had my old game guide which has been helpful. I would recommend it for kids or anyone looking to find all the hidden items along the way.

Ever wondered what it would be like if Final Fantasy characters and Disney Characters all shared the same universe? Nope? Me neither. But this is exactly what this game does. You can find fan boy's favorites like Cloud from FF7 series or Squall from FF8 series along with Goofy and Donald and the Little Mermaid. What is interesting is that the game delivers. Both Disney and Final Fantasy fans will find something to like here. The story involves the main protagonist Sora traveling to different Disney-themed worlds in search of his friends. Soon Sora's goals expend into stopping the the evil Heartless and saving all the worlds. The story isn't exactly living poetry, but it isn't bad either. The combat in the game is in real time. The battles do get repetitive, however, you'll spend most of your time moving around and pressing the X button a lot. You can also jump during battles to attack your enemies in the air or summon Disney characters to your aid (like Dumbo, Genie, etc.). There are Bonus Bosses here too.... you'll finally be able to settle that score with Sephiroth with a little help from Goofy and Donald. Bottom Line: This is a good action RPG with relatively high production values. Don't expect to find a deep story or combat system here though. Final Fantasy + Disney = Something Different and surprisingly goodRead full review
Played this as a kid and wanted to do it again. To this day this game has not let me down on how good it is. Gameplay is great, storyline great, characters and customization-great. It’s a perfect game for your kids if you wanna get them away from call of duty and fortnite
