Kingdom Hearts is the story of Sora, a 14-year-old boy whose world is shattered when a violent storm hits his island-paradise home and he is separated from his two closest friends, Riku, a 15-year-old boy, and Kairi, a 14-year-old girl. At the same time, there is turmoil in Disney castle. King Mickey is missing, and Court Wizard Donald and Captain Goofy set out to find him. On their travels they meet Sora on his own search for his lost friends. The three are told of ominous creatures known as the Heartless - beings without hearts derived from an unknown dimension and as it turns out, manipulated by Disney villains and the ones responsible for the devastating storm. Upon discovering the link between the Heartless, the storm and the disappearance of King Mickey, Sora, Donald and Goofy join forces and heip familiar Disney heroes to save their worlds.
The Beginning of one of the biggest RPG series! This game had an oustanding graphic, because of this, even nowadays, the graphics are still good compared to new releases of PS2 games. The sound are fantastic and it´s hard, something that KHII failed.

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
the second to worst game this is the second to worst game i ever play the only worser game is kh com so use your money for the final mix version insted.
Get a different version Since it's KH it automatically gets 5 stars from me but this is probably the worst version you can get no matter what language you speak. The only reason I can think of that you'd want this is that you REALLY want you play the game with Japanese voices (like I did). If you don't want that get the English or Final Mix version and if you do but don't know Japanese play one of those first.

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 =)
this game rules all this is my favorite game of all time. its super awesome to see disney characters running around and kicking some well deserved ass.
Masterpiece Kingdom Hearts is honestly one of the best. Squaresofts final words before it became Square-Enix... The battle system is almost overly enjoyable, with a nice difficulty level. The music is enchanting, with some songs that will leave you tapping your foot and humming along, and some that will make you cry. It has a cast of characters who you will either love or hate; it all depends on your opinion. A must-buy! Don't let disney get you down!

More on the Way I think it was a great game and Kingdom Hearts 2 will be even better. The fighting sytle is not a Turn base its more of a action. You can run around a use items and magic while you run around and jump. I also think that more of the Final Fantasy games should be more like this.
