Summary: Kingdom Hearts II is probably my favorite PS2 game. It has the best storyline I've ever seen. It has unbelievable graphics. It can kkep you entertained for hours. If you are new to the Kingdom Hearts series, do not play this game until beating the first original gam, Kingdom Hearts. I highly reccommend purchasing this game.

Kingdom Hearts II Found its way into my heart Jameson Thottam

In 2002, Square Enix and Disney released a game called Kingdom Hearts,in which they put together the idea of Square's characters & Disney's characters, and a lot of people thought at first that this one was not gonna work. But, soon everybody played it and loved it. Then comes Chain of Memories for the GBA, which continued the storyline, but wasn't much in the gameplay department. Now, in 2006, 4 years after the original (for those who suck at math), Jameson Thottam..that’s me….finally got Kingdom Hearts II. This game greatly improves over the original, but even at that, there's still something missing to keep it from being the best.
Graphics: 10/10 Jameson Thottam
Let's get one thing straight first. The PS2 is not considered the graphical powerhouse of the consoles (even though some titles have been proving them wrong). This game doesn't change anything as far as realism goes. But, they do pay a great amount of attention to detail. Every Disney-movie-themed world looks exactly like the movie did, even down to your menu screen. Every movie character looks exactly like they should (Exhibit A: Capt. Jack Sparrow). Also, any other characters look pretty good too. The cut-scenes are very well done. The opening one specifically is great. This game proves that even if the characters aren't very realistic, attention to detail is always better.
The game's soundtrack is remarkable. If you like the songs from the Disney movies, then you'll like this.The voice acting is amazing, This game is told through excellent voice acting from such well-known names as James Woods and Geoffrey Rush, and through numerous cameo appearances of other beloved and infamous Disney characters such as Aladdin, Ariel and Capt. Jack Sparrow. The Final Fantasy 7 characters were voiced by the same people who did the characters in FF7: Advent Children (the characters also sport their AC outfits), a nice little nod to the movie.But IMO,the Disney's got better voice-acting than the Square's characters.
Gameplay 8/10 Jameson Thottam
They have definitely changed a lot since the last one. Firstly, there is a new button called the Reaction Command, which, when pressed at certain times, will do different things. This comes in handy with boss fights. Also, there's a new feature called "Drives". This allows Sora to combine himself with one or both party members to become a two-keyblade wielding ass-kicking machine. Drives also have their own meter to use. Summons are also used with this meter. Now then, all these new features are nice, but here's the main problem: THIS GAME IS TOO EASY! You can just button mash and win most of the time (exception is a few boss fights). I didn't have to use offensive magic ONCE.
Story: 8/10 Jameson Thottam
At first it seems confusing because you don't start as Sora. You actually start playing as a new guy by the name of Roxas. In case your wondering, Sora and Roxas are connected in way but I don't want to spoil it for youso I’ll leave it at saying that Kingdom Hearts 2 is even better than the first.
In this game, a new feature is added., you can now fuse with your teammates to become faster and more powerful. Very exciting but hard to understand sometimes.
I have beat this game four times. And I never got sick of it. The graphics are spectaular! I can not wait untill KH3, which IS being made. I already know the plotline for the next one.
Suffice it to say that if you liked the storyline in KH-1, you'll love KH-2. It's the continuation thereof. But if you haven't played Chain of Memories you may not get everything as well. Chain of Memories is the gap filler that answers alot of questions that arise in KH-2
I also adored the fact that you get to do some stuff with Rikku.
Complaints from Jameson Thottam.
My biggest complaint was the goofy Disney characters. Some of them are alright, but some are down right cheesy. I DO like that it shows Mickey with some spine and not just a happy-go-lucky mouse.
So …may you live happily ever after after playing this game

Summary: This ame offears an asweseome amount of graphics, an new ability ot animated. It is great. In fact the confusion of emotion is sealed up here, in which si it great. ALso, the animatiog fits the graphics, not to basic or too lost, almost matched perfectly at every time with tspeaking. aLso, the levels the new creativity, and the older looking figures resembling mituarity, offears a great game.
