Easily the best Role-Playing game ever made.
Sora, Goofy and Donald are back on yet another perilous journey which takes them far into the world of Disney, and this time around, they do it in style. Kingdom Hearts 2 is arguably the best RPG ever made.
Every aspect of KH has improved, graphics and sound are much more smother, the game is lengthier than before but still manages to prevent the missions from being too repetitive. Great voice casting and tutorial are the big improvements in the game along with some new additions.
- Firstly, reaction commands. These come in many forms depending on the situation the gamer is in. Whenever a treasure chest is in close range, the reaction command sets it to ‘open’. Similarly during battles, the reaction command takes various forms, to manipulate your opponents and unleash a wide range of maneuvers, and so on.
- Next is the addition of ‘forms’. Sora can now fuse with Donald or Goofy (or even both) to change into a being and unleash devastating attacks. All the forms, except Wisdom, can have 2 keyblades which really makes this new feature…….cool!. Of course, these new features along with many more comes at the expense of the difficulty of the game. Sure the game is long, but it’s just too easy. This could possibly be the only con in KH2. Other than that, everything is brilliant. All the worlds are now easily accessible via the gummiship (which has also changed a lot). Some of the new worlds are the Land of the Dragon (Mulan), Port Royal (Pirates of the Caribbean) and the Pride Lands (The Lion King). All the worlds are interesting with nice and intriguing storylines.
KH2 is a brilliant follow-up of KH with many of its likeable features still intact. All that has to be said is, if KH2 does not leave you stunned and wanting for more, then you’ve got problems.
