Kingdom Hearts II

It fucking owns.

So far it's been great, have about 20 hours in. The art is fantastic, the gameplay is smooth, the camera is infinitely better than KH1. Also, and the thing that has made me the happiest so far - the Gummiship part is no longer gay. Infact, it kinda owns.

However, a warning to those have not started it yet - play on Proud (hard). Normal is a little too easy.

I can't find it anywhere... I checked every single store in the city... Fuck this, I really wanted to play it. Any euros get their hands on this yet?

Szlia · 04-01-2006, 10:52 AM

The release date in Europe is October...

Kan · 04-01-2006, 11:08 AM

Heh I just bought KH1 two weeks ago for $20.00 bucks at Wal-mart. I always thought incorporating a Diseny theme to a rpg was just plain fucking stupid so spending $20.00 was not a huge lost if I didn't like it. WRONG!!! In honestly the game fucking owns. I do agree with Sean regarding the camera and gummiship is a pain in the ass. Other than that I have no gripes about the game. I picked up KH2 the next day it came out and can't wait to play that atfer I finish KH1. My gaming console line up is full until fall.

Oh, shit dude... I highly recommend you either buy or download Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the GBA.

It is a huge and important part of the story and you are really missing out if you don't play it or at least read through a script faq.

Also if you can get your hands on it, get a Limited Edition copy of the Strategy Guide from Brady Games. It owns. Complete details, and so many extras in it it will blow your mind.

some minor things I hate, maybe spoilers:

I will hate aerith forever from now on after hearing her voice.

another thing, I hate it when you reach the coliseum, everyone thinks you are a wimp and can't fight against hades. Does no one else remember Sora owned Hades in kh1?? I just hate those types of consistencies.

Also, I wish we could dual wield anytime we wanted, not only in drive form. I mean, even Roxas dual wielded in the beginning.

Fammaden · 04-01-2006, 05:59 PM

Ten bucks off at my local Wal-Mart for like 29.95, sorry Euros.

Just beat it a minute ago. Overall, the game was fucking awesome. Some of the 'side' worlds got on my nerves every now and then (*cough*pirates*cough*), but it wasn't unbearable. The combat in this game is lightyears ahead of the last one, and drive modes are the fucking bomb and a half, but I can't say I'm happy they left out the coolest fucking part of Kingdom Hearts 1 - Glide/Super Glide. The fights with Organization XIII were all spectacular, especially the one near the end with the badass rampaging dude. Holy. Shit.

That said, the ending was gay. Very gay. So ultra queer, in fact, that I'm really questioning the relationship between Sora and some of his...'pals'. I still need to go about unlocking all the secret shit, so maybe I'll reserve judgement until then. But I dunno...it was pretty gay.

The gummi ship levels in this one are completely badass, like Sean said. I got into it a little bit and built me a 1000 cost ship of beat down, and some of it was still pretty tough to rank S on. Plays more like an actual game in this one, instead of just something to do in between levels, which is highly awesome.

Dude, that was explained 20 times over. I can't believe you got pissed off about that of all things, especially given Auron's completely badass intro into the game.

DiscW · 04-02-2006, 02:14 PM

Never played the first one, play that first or just check out this one?

DeLLy · 04-02-2006, 02:23 PM

Just rented it and I was wondering.. is there anything you can permanently miss if you don't do it at a certain time? I don't really feel like spoiling much by using Gamefaqs or buying the strat guide(at least atm).

For all those who didn't play KH: CoM, here's a link to the story guide.

Dumb question,

What is combat like in this game? Is it an action-rpg, turnbased? or what? I never played KH1 so I'm not sure what to expect and whether or not I should buy it =)

Angerz · 04-02-2006, 03:59 PM

I spend way too much time playing with the gummi ship.
