description
Ever wondered what would happen if the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney collided? It’s an odd concept to be sure, but from the most schizophrenic of acorns the mighty gaming oak of Kingdom Hearts has grown. Legendary role-playing game makers Square have been given unprecedented liberties with the entire Disney universe and have created a game featuring everything from The Nightmare Before Christmas to The Little Mermaid. This is odd enough in itself when you have characters as disparate as Tarzan and Donald Duck teaming up, but becomes majorly freaky when Square thrown in a variety of their own characters such as Cloud, Squall, and Aeris from the various Final Fantasy games. But this incongruity has one side benefit in that the storyline behind the game is by necessity rather vague, which seems to have stopped Square from filling three CDs full of their usual New Age whining about Mother Earth. Instead they’ve spent even more time on the graphics, and the end result is a quite stunning 3-D cartoon.
As for the gameplay, it may come as a surprise to learn that it doesn’t actually feature, as all the Final Fantasy games do, turn-based combat. Instead it's essentially a scrolling beat-'em-up-cum-platformer with exactly the kind of complicated Square-style knobs you’d expect. The game may be a little shallow, but it’s an impressive artistic achievement and to be quite frank any title that allows you to magically summon Bambi out of thin air to attack evil demons of the underworld has got to be worth some sort of recommendation.

Perfect for Christmas or Birthdays I know i can't write the most amazing review as i completed this game in 2003, but regardless, this is the perfect game for Walt Disney fans, or if you have a daughter, Kingdom hearts is fairly popular amongst the female fans, because of the "male" characters that you see, and the one you play as.
Anyway, the concept is that Sora, Riku, Kairi, etc all live on Destiny Island, some stuff happens, Sora becomes the Key blade bearer, and your adventure starts.
So whilst journeying around with Goofy, Donald, and the like, you can visit lots of walt disney worlds, flying in your gummi ship to get there no less
At the time this game was, fun, brilliant and a whole bunch magical to play, however now that we are dawning on the age of "next gen" machines it may feel a little dated, but honestly, don't mind that
I don't believe this game has an age limit set in stone to play, it by no means is childish, if you think it is too easy or will be just set the difficulty higher, as long as you love Walt Disney, love the concept of fighting the darkness(heartless) and finding a whole bunch of new stuff out about your favourite disney characters then look no further
with christmas coming, this would make a good gift for someone who has a USA ps2
Also, we see a few cameo appearances of final fantasy characters, if i spoiled that youd all hate me, but look forward to what you'l see, and with kingdom hearts 2 taking place after this, you can play to experience the whole story
Incredible The gameplay itself is enough to give this game five stars! Give it the graphics, the sounds, the dialogue, the story... And you have something that CANNOT be rated on a 5-star rank!
If this was this good, KH2 will be a god among games!

Probably the best game I've ever played If you have yet to play KH1, play it now.
Disney's marvelous animation combined with Square's game brilliance just outmatches about anything I've ever played.
Though people says it is childish because disney is in it, those are the people not open for free fantasy IMO. The FF and Disney characters met there has a history of their own.
Worth every dollar =)
