    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.

    PS4 version here. This game is a huge step up from Kingdom Hearts 1. They improved everything including combat, story and characters. Took me about 40h. I only did the main story plus several side quests, but I'm very far from full completion (and will not do it).

    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.

    Perfect sequel to the first chapter, it does not only build a great story with some good twists, but the gameplay is so good and so much better than kh1, after so many years it is still very funny and so much responsive. An absolutely must for everyone who played the first chapter!

    Nearly perfect game. The only issue is the Disney worlds not having any substance and feeling like filler episodes of rehashed Disney movies plots

    I'll say this with all of my heart. Kingdom Hearts 2 is the best game through it's 20+ year history! The combat, the music, the characters, the story. Holy moly it's so good. The game is so good that I've played it twice on a harder difficulty.

    If you have a PS2 around your own home, go get it and play Kingdom Hearts 2.

    This is a much better game than the original in terms of gameplay I like that it was easier to follow as in the first game I got lost a couple of times and needed a guide to progress in the story. The only bad thing was the need to use a new mechanic to gain abilities. All in all, this is an excellent sequel that years later is still fun to play.

    If Kingdom Hearts was a good foundation for a series, Kingdom Hearts II was a near perfection of it. Practically every single aspect from the first game has been taken here and improved upon, with one or two exceptions.

Practically every single aspect from the first game has been taken here and improved upon, with one or two exceptions.
    The story is a good follow-up to KH and Chain of Memories, introducing new elements and characters that flow very well throughout the campaign. Voice acting has been improved upon, holding up even better than KH. The character models and environments still look good for being a PS2 game, similar to that of the first game. However, the facial animations are still the same mixed bag that they've been for over ten years, at least until Kingdom Hearts III came along. I've heard a lot of people complain about how Sora sounds in this game, but I have the opposite problem. i find Sora's voice slightly annoying in the first game, but in this one he sounds more mature and just better all around.
    The worlds in this game have both been improved and degraded from the first game. In one area, getting lost almost isn't a thing anymore, thanks to two new additions from Square-Enix: The Minimap and the objective bar. These were two of the smartest additions to the series as a whole. However, the worlds have lost some of the verticality they had in KH. everything is more flat, and less interesting. It's not to the level that Birth By Sleep is, but it's a little disappointing. However, in the grand scheme of the whole game, it isn't the biggest problem, and The World that Never Was (the final level) is incredibly fun to explore, so it hasn't all been lost.
    The combat in this game is one of the biggest improvements brought to this game. It blows KH's combat out of the water, with an improvement of movement speed, agility, and aerial combat. You have your standard stuff like the Keyblade, Magic, and Limits, but there are more skills for the Keyblade than ever before, making fights a beautiful dance of flying around the screen beating everything up with an oversized key. The best new addition comes in Drive forms: temporary powerups that change Sora's fighting style drastically, upping the style factor. Leveling up these forms also gets you new agility moves, like ground dashes, air spins, high jumps, dodge rolls, and flying. There is so much you can do, it may feel overwhelming at first, but once you get into the flow, everything falls into place.
    The bossfights are incredible. Each is distinctive from the last, bringing something new to the table. the Heartless bossfights are good as usual, but the ones that really stand out are against a group introduced in Chain of Memories: Organization XIII. Each member you fight has a new moveset, making them always feel fresh. Two of them in particular are immense challenges. You may be stuck on them for a very long time. You may feel like giving up, but they can be beat, and once you do, it's one of the best feelings in gaming. The final boss especially is one of the best I have seen in gaming. It's dynamic, interesting, full of cool set pieces, and a real challenge that once you get to the very end of, you reach one of the best moments (that I won't spoil) I have ever witnessed.
    This game is kind of hard to jump into if you don't know the stories of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, but if you do or don't care about story, this game is a near masterclass of a game, one that would establish a baseline that every time a new Kingdom Hearts game came out, people would point to KHII as the golden standard it had to live up to.    … Expand

    Kingdom Hearts 2's story is an enchanting chronicle that blends the dreamy-like mood of a fairy tale with the cheesy, spectacular epicness of an anime, sustained and tied together by a powerful emotional core elevated by unique memorable music. Superbly directed scenes that can deliver and convey the tender, melancholic drama amidst the wacky, bizarre concepts of its world and lore, thanks to both being inextricably tied together. Alas, in gameplay, we instantly notice that Level Design got a massive downgrade. The intricate, fun maps of KH1 have been replaced with dull hallways and hollow rooms, with chests scattered here and there in esthetically pleasing but structurally barren environments, with only a single optional area providing any engaging platforming. The game experience is saved and recontextualized thanks to the absolute beauty of Combat: the already incredibly snappy and fluid base combos are the solid ground on top of which an exciting amount of engaging heterogeneous possibilities are stacked. On top of Abilities, Magic and Summons, Fusions and Limits have been introduced. Fusions especially significantly change the gameplay with different playstyles while also providing a new layer of strategic resource management to progression, as Limits offer an additional, tangential support. All these new additions are perfectly balanced, to be upgraded and unleashed against a strongly diversified army of enemies and bosses as the various levels countinuously add new twists and variations to the battle formula to keep things fresh through new attack patterns or external gimmicks, with the only serious flaw being the oversimplified, underdeveloped Reaction Commands (It must be also noted that enemy pose a meaningful, satisfying challenge only on Critical Mode). The game also offers an incredible amount of thrilling, greatly polished optional bosses to push the player's skills to their limit after the main campaign. Gummiship sections have been made much more enjoyable thanks to a faster pace and more visual flare.    … Expand

    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

    Kingdom Hearts II is where the franchise really began to pull away from a simple and fun story-line to something more convoluted and pretentious, though the game still thankfully finds its sense of charm. It also begins with the most infamously tedious tutorial section; a mind-numbingly dull three-hour story segment with boring mini-games.

    Furthermore, Kingdom Hearts II is relatively light on side content, and what is there is fairly bland. However, its vastly superior upgraded version, Kingdom Hearst II: Final Mix, solves this issue in spades.    … Expand

    I will do my best to explain the plot of KHII. It's been a while since Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeated Ansem, and it appears that the Heartless are back to their old tricks, but before we learn of them, we see a new, and mysterious enemy: The Nobodies. Also different, the first 4 to 5 hours of gameplay are spent playing as a new character, Roxas. For a while, the story will seem confusing, but once you reach the end, it will ALL make sense. After a few hours of gameplay, you'll play as Sora once again, and you'll meet old and new friends alike. Also going on as a side story, Kairi has forgotten all about Sora, but is eager to learn more about 'the boy I used to have so much fun with', and Riku seems to be gone without a trace. Meanwhile, Roxas (who sounds eerily like Jesse McCartney *wink*) has been dreaming about Sora, and his past adventures, despite never having met him before, and while all this is going on, a mysterious new force called Organization XIII is taking shape....

    The gameplay behind KHII is phenomenal. Rather than the basic play behind KHI, the system has been overhauled with a new thing called drive form, which allows Sora to increase his power for a limited time. The MP gauge is also different, which isn't that great. It's the only flaw of KHII. You'll be hooked within minutes of playing this game.

Disney's villains are also back, including Captain Barbossa, Jafar, Shan-Yu, Hades, Scar, Commander Sark, The Master Control Program, Oogie Boogie, and Ursula. Square's Final Fantasy heroes are back as well, including Squall Leonhart, Aeris (Aerith), Cloud, Auron, Yuffie, Tifa Lockheart, Raijin, Fujin, Seifer, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine, not to mention the most evil villain in video game history, Sephiroth is back.

    Kingdom Hearts II also has some cool voice actors, including Haley Joel Osment, Hayden Panitierre, David Gallagher, Sean Astin, Jesse McCartney, David Boreanaz, James Arnold Taylor, Tara Strong, B.D. Wong, Mena Suvari, and Robbie Benson.

    This is one game you cannot afford to miss. If you play one game on PS2 this year, Kingdom Hearts II should be that game. Don't miss this clever blend of fun, epic battles, romance, action, adventure, humor, and gripping suspense.

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

It's like the inputs often don't work in this game. Couple that with the bosses constantly becoming invincible for no reason at 1hp for a while. They'll just continuously eat attacks without defending and won't die. This can be especially annoying during the data battles, for example. What sets this game apart from the first is the improved gummi ship missions, and even though the worlds seem rehashed - the story is definitely improved upon. Sadly the trash mechanics couldn't make up for that and now that the platinum is in my rear-view mirror I will never pick up this game again. I can only hope that the third one isn't as bad as the first two, because I'm a big Disney/FF fan and love games in this genre.… Expand

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

    In 2004, My grandfather suffered a stroke while tending to his garden.
    I often wondered what that was like, what it felt like to be completely helpless and lose control of part of your brain.

(I didn't say it was a masterpiece). The JRPG sequel (to the first game) that's a crossover between Final Fantasy & Disney.
    Today's my birthday and Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. And also the Kingdom Hearts franchise is very much both important and changed my overall life and a franchise I cherish so deeply in my heart, regardless of how confusing it is, so that why I'm reviewing this game.
    DISCLAIMER: I've played Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix (on HD 2.5 Remix (for PS3)) and not the original one, but it's the same game, right? (Also before I wrote this review, I've only played Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5 Remix)

    Let's start off with the game-play, the game-play is similar from the first Kingdom Hearts, but they improved it greatly. They fixed the camera problems from the previous Kingdom Hearts game, and now the camera controls won't be annoying anymore.
    The story is overall great, especially the beginning of the game, it's fantastic. It's surprising that the beginning of the game is fantastic. There are four difficulties, Beginner, Standard, Proud and Critical. I've played it on proud mode, and it's seriously difficult. The bosses are very challenging and sometimes you have to learn and adapt their move-set to be able to dodge their attacks for a better chance of survival and it takes a lot of perseverance, patience, and endurance to get through the hardest of story boss battles and post-game boss battles.
    Kingdom Hearts 2 contains a cast of very likable characters (included with Final Fantasy characters) with a great emotional story.

    I recommend playing Kingdom Hearts 2 on Proud Mode. If this is your first Kingdom Hearts game or you think you're not perfect at the game-play then choose Standard Mode! I also recommend playing the first Kingdom Hearts game. Also, I recommend Kingdom Hearts Chain (or Re: Chain) of Memories. (You have the choice of playing Kingdom Hearts COM (RE: COM) if you want to.) This game is really great and it's a recommended JRPG to play. So, I give a score of 9.8. [10]    … Expand

    I have a fascination with the line between life and death, and KH2 has a small glimmer of the type of story I like which suggests that distinction isn't so binary as it is understood to be.

    This is also why I like games such as Ice Pick-Lodge's "The Void" which also tackles the theme of the life that exists between the line of life and death. Though in a very Russian way.

    Getting back to KH2, the Organization 13 members are boring anime boys, but as ultimate expressions of classic FF classes they are really cool! Shame they all wear the same dull coat instead of taking the classic armors to a ludicrous extreme as well.
    This game also marks the departure into bananas-land for the KH story, where I became a passive observer.    … Expand

I must warn you again if you want to play the games instead: 358/2 was on the Nintendo DS only (There is a feature in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix which is basically a movie) and Chain of Memory has a terrible battle system that even drove of hard core fans (Was a mayor complaint by many / I tried the game multiple times but could not adapt to it properly). Back to Kingdom Hearts 2. They improved nearly everything. The graphics are better and the music is fantastic. I want to praise Hikaru Utada for the opening theme song. It was so good that I restarted the game immediately to listen to it again. The battle system is now top notch and they added the drive system which gave you additional powers for a limited time. Tip: It doesn't look like a big improvement first but you get impressive results when you level it up, even new abilities which can be used in the normal form. The game has the best variety of worlds in the franchise (Tied with Kingdom Hearts 3),that are now bigger with more room for exploration. They took also great effort for the boss battles. There are many memorable battles that get you to your limits on higher difficulties (You can always grind levels to overpower the bosses). The addition of the Nobody's and the Organization was also a strength of the game. I like the variety of the characters and their individual motivations. You have also more Final Fantasy characters with many good (badass) scenes. Our main characters are always as lovable and driven as before. For story purposes I will say the game delivers a good performance. With the most awesome parts in the Hollow Bastion world where you get highlight after highlight (Most awesome part in the whole franchise). The other worlds are also pretty good and have story lines that get you attached very well.

Gráficos avanzados frente la anterior entrega de PS2 (que era dificil superar esos gráficos) y con menos pantallas de carga. La cámara mejora notablemente, cosa que es de agradecer. El diseño de los personajes es muy bueno, vemos como los personajes evolucionan aunque sea de manera lenta crecen.
    Pasemos a la historia, presentan a un nuevo villano 100 veces mejor que los anteriores en el que se ven sus propósitos y ambiciones, son comprensibles sus razones e incluso da pena arrebatar su plan. Estamos hablando de que el villano principal quiere tener un corazón para saber que se siente, algo que me parece muy maduro y que hace reflexionar.
    Creo que no hace falta hablar sobre la BSO, solo dire que es LA MEJOR en todos los videojuegos.
    El juego es rejugable y sigue siendo igual de divertido e igual de emocionante, envejece muy bien y no se deja llevar tanto por el factor nostalgia como el KH1 sino que se nota que el juego es muy bueno.

    One of the most beautiful games in terms of the story and the way to play and even drawings to Jaya Disney, but I congratulate Square and Disney on this project

    Kingdom Hearts 2 in my opinion is one of the best games ever made. I grew up playing the game, and can safely say that it is, and always will be, one of my favorite video games of all time. From the well made cut scenes, to the wonderful plot. (which I will admit may get a little confusing at times), I love this game and if you do end up trying it out, I recommend playing Kingdom HeartsKingdom Hearts 2 in my opinion is one of the best games ever made.

The plot sometimes does get a bit confusing without playing these games first.I hope that this review may help at least one person give the series a try, because where I come from, not many people I know knew what Kingdom Hearts was until I showed it to them. Once I did they fell in love with the games, just as I have, and I hope you will too.… Expand

    Uno de los juegos, junto a su primera parte, que marcaron la vida de muchos de los muchachos que en su día lo jugaron (incluida la mía).

    Fue un antes y un después a la hora de ver los videojuegos como tal, y el cruce entre Disney y Final Fantasy es de los mejores crossovers que he podido ver en un videojuego.

    Este juego rebosa magia cada segundo de su duración.

    Imprescindible.

    There was no way it was gonna do it. It just couldn't! You guys probably remember my glowing review of the original "Kingdom Hearts," where I gave the game a 10 out of 10 and proclaimed it to be one of my favorite video games, so even though I was underwhelmed by "Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories" when I played it (and gave it a 6 out of 10), I can safely say I was excited going intoThere was no way it was gonna do it. It just couldn't! You guys probably remember my glowing review of the original "Kingdom Hearts," where I gave the game a 10 out of 10 and proclaimed it to be one of my favorite video games, so even though I was underwhelmed by "Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories" when I played it (and gave it a 6 out of 10), I can safely say I was excited going into this game. But no matter what anyone told me (and trust me, a lot of people told me), there was no way it could be better than the first one. Could it? Well, yes. Even though it doesn't do what "Bayonetta 2" did for the first "Bayonetta" game (improve on it so much that it makes the first one look significantly worse in comparison), "Kingdom Hearts II" improves on the already fantastic first game, making for a can't-miss sequel.
    "Kingdom Hearts II" takes on a grander, wider, and overall bigger approach to storytelling in comparison to the first one. With a larger-scale and higher stakes, the game comes through with even more epic, exciting action and pacing than the first one (not to say that game wasn't epic or exciting), and along with that comes some new characters that are well-written, clever, and often heartfelt. Hell, the story was so exciting that I was willing to stomach the 3-hour tutorial in one sitting because the intro was that compelling. The visuals are also top-notch as always, the environments are rich and lovingly crafted in relation to the Disney films they are based off of, and as always with "Kingdom Hearts" games, the music is absolutely brilliant. The gameplay has also been nicely-refined in comparison to the first game, with better platforming, a stronger camera, and overall deeper combat. I've seen a number of people describe the game as being "button-mashy," and even if that's the case, I think the combat system as a whole is more intricate, more fast-paced, and more complex to it this time around, with nice new additions like Drive Forms and greater abilities that make the game a lot more fun to play than the already fun first entry. And there's also tons of replayability with the game: I clocked 30 hours on the game without even collecting everything or going for some of the secrets, so if I can put that much time into a non-completed file, imagine how much more time will go into a completed one!
    If there's anything slightly negative I can say about the game this time around, it's that the story as a whole is far less simple than it was before, to the point where it can be a little hard to follow at points. If you enjoyed the relative simplicity of the first game's story, things are much deeper here, and you might even want to bring a flowchart along with you.
    Even still, "Kingdom Hearts II" is a breathtaking RPG that manages to live up to its already fantastic predecessor, and it's a game you should most definitely play. And with "Kingdom Hearts III" finally looking like it's close to release (FINALLY!), what better time than the present to experience this game (and the rest of the series, for that matter)? It's an amazing sequel, and it's well worth your time.
    Final rating: 10 out of 10 "Fantastic"    … Expand

    kingdom hearts is a franchise with a lot of potential even if the overall concept is a bit childish. however kingdom hearts 2 falls short of this potential. It improves on a lot of kh1's problems (as any good sequel should) the combat is no longer clunky, slow, and just generally unpleasent but instead is more fast paced and just feels more satisfieng, your magic now cools down instead ofkingdom hearts is a franchise with a lot of potential even if the overall concept is a bit childish. however kingdom hearts 2 falls short of this potential. It improves on a lot of kh1's problems (as any good sequel should) the combat is no longer clunky, slow, and just generally unpleasent but instead is more fast paced and just feels more satisfieng, your magic now cools down instead of just depelting, and the drive system can help you get through stickyer situations (when the game lets you use it). however there are numerous problems that hold kh2 back mostly stemming from the dev's strange disire to mix actions games with turn based RPGs in ways that don't mesh well. first off in addition to the core games' awkward menu system, dodge rolling (arguably the most useful ability in the franchise and the staple of a fair action game) has been locked behind a drive form thaat can only be accessed late in to the game which only lasts untill the drive gage runs out and isn't always avalable to use leaving you with just your block and parry (when you actually have an opertunity to perform one successfully) and different "action commands" (that only work on certain enemies at specific times) the problem here stems from the fact that you blocking can't cancel other actions meaning that enemies can whale on you while you sit slow and helpless to retaliate because you attacked 2 seconds too soon or the enemy attacking you isn't in your line of sight. action commands are just as useless. they require you to actually be able to use them which unless your fighting a dusk you can never do because you'll almost always lose the oppertunity before the command is finished loading due to the fact that you controls lock up when ever your hit. the next point of falure is the worlds. in a misguided atempt to make the game more "interesting" the dev gave each world unique mechanics most of which are utter **** an olny amount to annoying mini games that don't actually test what you've learned about the game and only serve as stumbling blocks to pad out the game with artifical challenge which it doesn't need give the the fact that not only is kh2 already a pretty long game but also that player can select all diffuclty levels right out of the gate. the worst part of these inane mini games it that they bypass difficulty selection since they follow their own special rules that for the most part are never seen again making me think that the devs may have been paid by the hourconsidering how much time must've wasting programming one-time mechanics. and finally the moment i'm sure a lot of you dear sobered-up readers have been waitng for... THE PLOT! kingdom hearts 2 takes place after the events of 358/2 days (a game release 3 years after kh2) and chain of memories (a wierd virtual card game no one played) meaning by this point the plot waters started to get merky. it also doesn't help that the secret ending (which is the games true ending) is locked behind difficulty dependent secret challenges which in this day and age you can find on gamefaqs or youtube however the internet was just starting to come into popularity and youtube was in it"s infancy when kh2 was release leading to the plot of the kingdom hearts franchise to become too metal gear-esque for it's own good leading to a plot that feels more like a janky puzzle many of the pieces of which are not avalable (or haven't been pulled out of the dev's ass) yet. to summarize calling kh2 good yet flawed is being too generous in all honesty it's the worst kind of slog: a game with shoe-horned in artificial difficulty in the form of inane one-time-only mini games and is rife with lost potential. i pray to god that kingdom hearts 3 reverses kingdom hearts 2's awful

    Best game in the franchise at this moment. Gameplay vastly improved and the addition of many franchises makes this a must buy.

    An all around excellent game. It looks phenomenal and plays even better. What started out as a crazy fan based experiment for Square-Enix has panned out to one of the most entertaining titles of the year. [JPN Import]

    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]
