The original Kingdom Hearts video game dropped in 2002 and was an action/RPG video game with an incredible mix of the coolest characters from all the Final Fantasy video games and Walt Disney movies. Now the sequel, Kingdom Hearts II, is here with Sora back as the hero in another battle against the evil heartless. Here's our game review!

The 411 About Kingdom Hearts II for the PS2!

This game is packed full of action! It's basically a monster-bashin' game where you run around as Sora with Donald and Goofy at your side and battle bad guys. Each level is based on a different Disney movie and the heroes of each movie join you as you adventure through them. There are also spaceship levels, as you fly from level to level in a gummi-ship, and dance games!

What Makes Kingdom Hearts II Da Bomb?

Not only is Kingdom Hearts II a huge game with an incredible story that's packed full of cool characters, it's also easy enough for anyone to play. There are tons of moves you can use in battles - from ultimate combos to special moves for different situations. You also have the ability to combine characters to form super-Sora. Plus, each character gains new powers and abilities that you can choose from. Not only that, but almost all of the character voices are done by the same professional voice actors from the movies and games so they sound great!

Villains, Treachery and Flaws in Kingdom Hearts II

The biggest problem is the Kingdom Hearts II intro. It takes forever to get going! It's super-frustrating, but once you get it over with, the game gets way better. It's also an easy game, almost too easy if you're looking for a serious challenge for your gamin' skills.

Kingdom Hearts II Supremo Sequel or Suck-Tastic?

This video game sequel rocks! From the bazillions of options to the huge story and intensely cool battles, it's a game that everybody who has ever watched a Disney movie or played a Final Fantasy game needs to have - and that everybody else should play too.
