    THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER. Okay, so a bit of this is from nostalgia, but oh man Kh2 is the bee’s knees. Every single thing in this game (besides atlantica) is absolutely phenomenal, from the music to the gameplay, to the cringed childish story. I don’t care, but this is my favorite game of all time.

    Awsome game. My favourite. Plot is so thrilling! Gameplay is fixed (I didin't like gameplay of KH1 or Chain of Memories). All Disney worlds are so cool and so big. I had play this game three times. Once the original one on PS2, once the Final Mix on PS2 and once the Final Mix on PS4.

    Kingdom Hearts 2 is a well crafted game and in my opinion one of the best action rpg's to date. If you like Action RPG's, Disney or Anime, I really recommend to give it a shot.

    This game is a masterpiece. Every single world, boss fight, animation, cutscene and the story itself have so much effort brimming out of every corner.

The combat is fast, fluid, and stylish, the disney worlds are absolutely beautiful with so much content put in each one. The game may start out slow but when it gets going, IT GETS GOING. The story itself takes almost 30 hours to beat and none of it gets old ever. The soundtrack is the greatest in any video game ever (in my opinion) and the story is so sweet, well paced, and good, that the ending made me cry. Thats not even including all the bonus stuff that came in the final mix version. 13 new bosses with new moves, attacks, and phases along with a really long dungeon that takes advantage of all of sora's moves brilliantly and all the disney character summons and limits fit each character perfectly. If you havent already buy this game NOW. You will not regret it. (also the ps4 collection this game comes in is only like 30 bucks and it has 5 more games seperate from this game so buy that collection and play this game there you will not regret it)… Expand

    Of all the action RPGs I've played, this is among the unforgettable. This is the only game I've played in the series and I was still blown a way by heart and soul put into this game.

It's a formula that never should have worked, but the writers and programmers gave everything personal attention.

    Not only am I playing through a soothing story with an anime setting, but I'm also experiencing the nostalgia of all my old favorite Disney movies, even the ones I haven't seen in ages. And that nostalgia is like meeting up with an old friend. I haven't played the first game in the series, but the flash backs tell me everything I need to know. I understand all these charters thanks to excellent emotion animation.

    It's a moving sensation, to feel connected to something you've only known for a little while. When my eyes caught those gorgeous levels, the creative designs of the villains and the Heartless...I was thunder struck.    … Expand

    This is, in my opinion, the BEST KINGDOM HEARTS GAME ever, the characters are very well made, the combat system works amazingly , and the cutscenes and story gets more open (and sometimes confusing) for the kingdom hearts saga, and it has in my opinion, one of the best villains on a videogame, Organization XIII, because every character has it's own personality and attacks. This game is unique.

    Well If I would give kingdom hearts 1 an 8 and If I think kingdom hearts 2 is better in almost every single way then I'd give it a 9 lol overall fun story, amazing and fun and smooth gameplay that ages very well, and it gives you so much more freedom and don't even get me started on the ost in conclusion very good game.

A trilha sonora nos coloca o tempo todo dentro de uma grande fantasia que é os Universos Cinematográficos da Disney, ela nos transfere tudo o que os personagens estão sentindo antes mesmo alguém introduzir o contexto. Todos os temas são muito bem trabalhados, deixando o texto leve porém dando sua devida ênfase os pontos críticos de animação e luta. Creio que este é uma das grandes obras-primas de toda a geração do console. Ademais, o melhor jogo de minha infância.… Expand

    Truly a masterpiece and a landmark for the Playstation 2-era. Kingdom Hearts II improves heavily on all of the shortcomings of the original and ends up an even more satisfying crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy characters. The gameplay is still the gold standard that the rest of the series is held to and the OST for the game might possibly be Yoko Shimomura’s finest work ever. TheTruly a masterpiece and a landmark for the Playstation 2-era. Kingdom Hearts II improves heavily on all of the shortcomings of the original and ends up an even more satisfying crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy characters. The gameplay is still the gold standard that the rest of the series is held to and the OST for the game might possibly be Yoko Shimomura’s finest work ever. The prologue, while the longest in the series, also succeeds where most other sequels fail when introducing a new main character that parallels / rivals the previous one in Roxas. By the end of the prologue, his story makes you feel sympathy for someone who was never meant to exist. The Disney worlds have lost the incessant platforming and exploration of the first game and now retain a more simple layout but now features a mandatory second visit after the midpoint of the game. The Disney bosses in the game are also vast improvement on top of introducing live-action worlds into the series such as Tron and Pirates of the Caribbean. The various minigames throughout the game are also vast improvements from the first and Coliseum now returns in the form of the Underdrome and Hades Paradox Cups, which also blow the ones from Kingdom Hearts out of the water. In conclusion, Kingdom Hearts II is still holds the title of the best game in the series and a genuine masterpiece of the 2000’s. It is by far the best licensed video game ever made.… Expand

    KH2 has good combat, story pacing, good bosses, and does everything better than 1.

    Still KH1 is a good game, and KH3 pales in comparision to them.

    A truly incredible sequel. Arguably better than the original, but to me the story of KH1 was better & overall was the more profound/groundbreaking game. Still, a true classic.

    Kingdom Hearts 2 may very well be one of if not the best game of all time. The story is infinitely better than the first, and same goes for the gameplay. One would be unable to revisit the original after playing this. The storytelling is amazing in the way that everything is explained by the ending, and everything is wrapped up in a perfect bow. This game is true greatness.

    From the amazing opening cg cinema (oh god, I think I just soiled myself it was so good) with Utada Hikaru's newest song, Passion, to the kick ass ending, this game rocked and set itself a more than worthy successor to the first Kingdom Hearts. [JPN Import]

    It has an excellent battle system, more variety than almost any game out there, great graphics, and an interesting story. The title isn't perfect though. The story lacks a bit of cohesiveness and the auto-camera still can't seem to track everything that's going on. [JPN Import]
