Have you ever seen a film? Have you ever played a game? If you answer yes to any of these questions then I have just the game for you. I can’t understand what possessed Square, the makers of the final fantasy series, and Disney to create a game that contained characters from both of their fields. Whatever it was I think they have hit a real winner.

To be honest this game defies any kind of real explanation. You play Sora (voiced by none other than Halley Joel Osment) a young boy who lives on an island with some friends, Riku and Kairi. Sora has a real obsession with Kairi and Riku is the elder of the two lads and fancies the pants of Kairi, too! I then need to tell you that Sora has been having some pretty screwed up existential dreams recently where his gloriously animated body is falling through sky and water and all manner of crazy hallucinogenic stuff. He finally ends up on a stained glass window of Cinderella and you then have to choose your weapon (sword, shield or wand) and you are told of a group called the ‘heartless’. He tells his two friends, who then question what is beyond their island and if their existence is real. They decide to leave the island by building a boat but some nasty big shadow people come along and cause loads of agro. We then get a cut-scene of Donald going to visit King Mickey who has gone AWOL. The heartless have dropped you away from your friends in a new world and you meet up with Donald and Goofy who keep calling you the keyblade master. You then have to travel to lots of different worlds as the heartless are destroying them one by one. All the worlds happen to be related to Disney films. Phew… I think that is about the measure of it.

What you actually do is very broad as well. I chose the sword as my weapon and I am not sure how much that affects the story but you basically have to run around hammering the hell out of various huge monsters, which once defeated increases your power level. The monsters are generally themed to the world they inhabit; for example, in Agrabah they all have turbans. You then have smaller missions to do in each world and on-going missions that keep reappearing like finding all 99 Dalmatian puppies or fighting in the various tournaments at Hercules’ Coliseum! To travel from one world to the next is also a game within itself. You have a Gummiship which you can add many different parts to, such as armour, engines, weapons, cockpits and warp drives, and then fly it through space dodging through obstacles and shooting other ships until you make your way to the world you desire. What it has to do with the grand scheme of the game I’m unsure but it is a pleasant relief from the hacking and slashing.

    ok...well the dark keyblade, if you mean OBLIVION which rocks, it is in Hollow Bastion in the area where you find out Ansem is in riku... jump up on the side of the room and follow the pipe thing all the way around, you'll see a treasure chest which it is in... then ursula, find the dolphin in of the big areas, select hop on, it may take many tries, but it will take you upstream to the sunken ship, from there you fight the shark, and I think you can figure out the rest... if not tell me

    I love Kingdom Hearts! If you like Final Fantasy,or Disney you WILL like this game. I also think you'll like the begining song "Simple and Clean". You can find the words in the packet that comes in the game box. As I said before"I LOVE KINGDOM HEARTS!"

  12. Guest Unregistered 7 years ago

    This game is bad. I'm still shocked to see how people praise this insult of a game. The story is definetly the best part of this game - Final Fantasy meets Disney. It actually works surprisingly well and the story will keep you interested throughout. Sound is also very good, specially the Music and voice-overs. Graphics are above-average - not the best out there, but still worth mentioning. Unfortunately, that's where the dream ends. Once you start PLAYING the game, you'll realize the gameplay is awful - a button-mashing experience from start to finish. The Platform sequences are horrible because the character has trouble jumping. It feels like a fat elephant. The AI is almost non-existant, and the camera... oh, the camera! Don't even get me started on that one... let me just say I had a better time with Blinx - yes, the camera is THAT bad.

    Too bad this game will sell on hype alone. "Final Fantasy meets Disney" and the beautiful graphics will sway you to buy it, but under the pretty shell this is one of the most disappointing games of the year.

    If you value your money and if you have any hint of intelligence, you'll steer away from Kingdom Hearts. Maybe next time they'll do it right.

    Kingdom Hearts Has To Be The Best GAme Yet! The Graphics Are Great and Besides The Whole Setting Is Just Perfect. This Is One Game You Cannot Get Tired Of! Except One Thing..... I Wanna Play As Pluto !

    You meet Riku so many times in thisgame the fist time is Destiny Islands where you and 5 other friends live. But the second time is in Travese Town when you get the mysterious KEYBLADE. In Traverse Town te KEYBLADE dosen't go to Riku. In Aragaba whn Riku kidnappes Jamine The Keyblade doen't chose him. At Monstro The Whale When Riku runs away with Pinchio The Keyblde dosen't go to him. In Neverland the Keyblade dosen't go to Riku. But now when you get to Malefiecent's Castle Hollow Bastions wher you were born the keyblade just happens to go Riku.

    Look, you go to the secret place where the drawings are on the walls. Give it a rest!!! I admit, kingdom hearts is an amazing game, but it was nt very challenging, and I also thought there would be loads of secrets that youd be surprised to find, but there was just this secret ending after collecting everything.....I liked zelda 64, for those reasons.
    One thing I did love clouds cape! it is Sooooo fantasic! Im going to make my own.

  26. Ackwero Unregistered 7 years ago

    oh wait, before you go to the secret place you have to go to the little island where you used to fight riku, there you see him and then a whole whopping cinematic scene blows over and you get the keyblade.....THEN go to the secret place.........

    Oh hi! No problem, but this other games i told you about are only avaiable for the computer exept baldurs gate: dark alliance, but this baldurs gate game (there are 5 of them) is not as good as the other 4. if you want to get this games, they are very old but they are the origins for most of other rpg-games. i don´t think that you will like them, because they´re some kind of different than KH (more brutal, a complicated and fantastic story, dufficult battle system...) i just told you about them because they are my favourite games after final fantasy... (i´m a total ff-freak...) but maybe you will really like them like i do...

  51. Kingdom Hearts Master Unregistered 6 years ago

    Hey everyone I heard alot about Kingdom hearts,yes it's a great game and yes there is a second Kingdom hearts coming out but there is also a 3rd too. but there is another rumor that a movie of kingdom hearts is coming too. And I know a little more about kingdom hearts 2. The guy in the black hood that is asking for Sora is Riku. And Riku might be the main character this time.He is probaly the one with the two keyblades. One of the unknowns could be Ansem and the others could be an older version of Sora and Riku. The girl on the beach is Kairi is anyone wants to know. Because remember, Kairi was waiting for Sora to return? Well she probaly never left that spot and still waits for Sora. And Sora has to find the door of light. I think there are two rikus and two soras. they are the heartless rikus and soras. And it's true that Sinten is the new heartless ruler or controler whaterver. but that's not all playstation 3 is coming in 2005. And i think kingdom hearts 2 is coming in 2006. Or probably in 2004 i don't know. but Kingdom hearts is the greatest game i ever played. and i mastered it in three days.

    hey beating ansem isn't realy a power thing the first time although it helps its just a matter of timeing and knowing when to go for him and when not to but the only attack the first time you fight him you have to look out for is the binding (when ansem's little ghost guy dissaperes he jumps for you :bind) but if you aviod that you should beat him in no time

  81. Will Unregistered 6 years ago

    Okay, many of the people who post here are total morons. But for you few who have actually mastered the FF series, Kingdom Hearts provides an opportunity to see a few of the newer FF characters. (and some older ones on the wall of the secret spot ^_^). The game is too easy though, i got to lvl 99 in my first month and i kicked Sephiroths butt after my 3rd try.. at lvl 75. God sin harvest is annoying.
    The camera angles were dissapointing and the combat system left something to be desired... but aside from those flaws its a good game, although not for everyone.

    The most powerful weapon Sora can obtain in Kingdom Hearts is Ultima Weapon. It can be made at the Moogles' Synth Shop in Traverse Town, and shows up on the list only when all the other items on the Synth Shop list have been made at least once. Once it becomes available, these are the items you'll need and which creature drops them:

    * 5 Lucid Gems — Wight Knight (Halloween Town)
    * 5 Power Gems — Pirate and Pirate Ship (Never Land)
    * 5 Thunder Gems — Aquatank and Screwdriver (Atlantica)
    * 3 Mystery Goos — White Mushroom, Black Fungus and Rare Truffle (various locations)
    * 3 Gales — Angel Star and Invisible (End of the World)

    stephanie,
    you think its a bad thing that ur gonna be 14 in 2 years and still enjoy playing Kingdom Hearts? I am gonna be 15 in 16 days and I still think this game absolutley rocks! :) and could you tell me how to get the alternate ending?

  91. Naruto Unregistered 6 years ago

    Are there more hidden bosses, i have only beaten 4 (polaros, sephiroth, kurt zisa, phantom) Is Riku Ansem or something like that because after the ending movie there was a secret ending where a grown - up Riku fought against shadows or something like that... When will Kingdom Hearts 2 come out???

  92. Naruto Unregistered 6 years ago

    Hi! You have to do 3 things to get the alternate ending! First of all you have to fill up every key-hole in every world you can. 2. You have to win the Hades - Cup in Olymp. 3. You have to rescue all 99 puppies. I´m sorry if the words are not the same but I´m playing the german version...

  93. Naruto Unregistered 6 years ago

    I´m 99% sure that it´s Kairi when she´s grown - up!

  94. Naruto Unregistered 6 years ago

    The girl is Kairi! I´m 99% sure of it.

  95. Naruto Unregistered 6 years ago

    Hey! Maybe you´re right... There are still many players who think that they are the best players in the world because they have beaten Sephiroth and they are really making things worse... I totally agree with you but I´ve also beaten Sephiroth and my Sora and my two companions are on level 100 but I don´t think that I´m the best player in the world but I know a lot about Kingdom Hearts...

  96. Robert Unregistered 6 years ago

    I did those 3 things... I have all 99 puppies, I beat the hades cup, and sealed every key-hole... I think... there isnt one in Monstro is there? other than that I have every thing done, yet it didnt show me the alternate ending....hmmmm

  97. Robert Unregistered 6 years ago

    I think what im missing is Ultima weapon.... do you have to have that?

  98. Robert Unregistered 6 years ago

    did any of you guys wait through the credits and see the...uh... I think its a preview for the next game? holy cow it is sooo cool! this guy, who has to be riku grown up, because it also shows kairi grown-up on the island... but whats confusing is I think Sora might be the one that is missing this time. it asks you where sora is, and reminds you that you are the one that will open the door to the light, so the next game must be about finding micky and the door to the light... I cant wait!!!

  99. #1 Disney Expert Unregistered 6 years ago

    Just tell me what is the problem?

  100. Naruto Unregistered 6 years ago

    Oh yes... I have the Ultima Weapon for Sora. I don´t know if you need the Ultima Weapon for the alternate ending but I have it and I´ve seen the alternate ending... Maybe you also need the secret weapons for Donald and Goofy. I don´t knwo a lot more but I have them all... Maybe you must beat all hidden bosses or gain 100% of the game... I´m not sure because I have done all this things and the alternate ending appeard! And one thing: I´m pretty sure that this ending where you see Riku fighting many heartless, the preview for KH2 is the "alternate" ending...
