    Is Kingdom Hearts a flawed game? Yes it is. The combat is lacking and simple and the set camera is atrocious. But there's a quality to it that can't be explained. The worlds can only be described as magical, the characters are timeless and the story, although just typical Japanese crazyness, is beautiful to behold. Its a package that is much more than the sum of its parts and it gives me aIs Kingdom Hearts a flawed game? Yes it is. The combat is lacking and simple and the set camera is atrocious.

    "Kingdom Hearts" is a game that mixes Disney worlds and stories with "Final Fantasy," creating an RPG-experience boasting plenty of fanservice for children and Disney fans alike. At its core, a game with such a combination shouldn't have worked. Final Fantasy: Disney Edition? That's just ridiculous. 15 years later, "Kingdom Hearts" is still an extremely popular and well-received series (even with all the complaints that 3 isn't out yet) and the original game is still extremely popular. And for fantastic reason, as well.
    "Kingdom Hearts" is an absolutely brilliant game. It's a blast to play, it's visually fantastic to this day (even with a few small oddities), the worlds are breathtaking, the story is intricate and detailed, the dialogue is great, the characters are brilliant and memorable, the Disney magic is absolutely there, and the music...wow, the music. It's easily one of the best video game soundtracks I've heard. For lack of a different way to put it, "Kingdom Hearts" is truly a magical and memorable experience, and that's why it stands as one of my favorite video games.
    All that said, though, the game isn't PERFECT. The platforming is VERY wonky, the camera is kind of uncooperative (though, since I played the Final Mix version, it's way better thanks to analog camera controls) and the game VERY SLIGHTLY overstays its welcome. I won't spoil it, but the final world in the game feels like it drags on a bit too much and builds itself on monotony.
    Even so, "Kingdom Hearts" is a brilliant video game that RPG fans, Final Fantasy fans, Disney fans, children, teens, adults, and gamers in general, should absolutely check out!
    Final rating: 10 out of 10 "Fantastic"

A clever idea to merge both square enix and disney in one game and what a heck of a game,no one would wanna miss this one.Whatever which platform you're playing,you won't regret this. Expand

It was a match made in heaven (There are even more weird combos like Star Trek / X-Men or Archie meets the Punisher). When it was announced we were puzzled and discussed what we should expect. We got an action RPG with new characters, in a brand new story line, within a complete new setting flavoured with the best of both worlds. It shouldn't have worked that well but the game disproved the sceptics and started a franchise that even if you dislike the games have at least heard of. The main story arc is about the battle between good and evil with an interesting take. The darkness is rising inside the hearts of people. If it took over a Heartless is created. If enough people are turned then the darkness will swallow the world (There are many worlds). There are warriors of light that wield a Keyblade that can travel betwenn worlds (restricted for normal people), defeat the darkness and restore the hearts and worlds (I am oversimplifying because a lot of lore was added in future games). They took the Disney franchise to create individual worlds with their related stories and villains. It is so satisfying to fight against your favourite Disney villains. Then there are our main characters Sora (aided by Donald and Goofy), Riku and Kairi. They are close friends since early childhood. The story will put their friendship and believes to a harsh test. I can not spoil the details but lets say that the characters and their tie ins in the story are the games greatest strength. If the characters make you feel than this is always a plus. Of cause there is the nostalgia for Disney and Final Fantasy. The art style for the worlds was chosen to resemble the movies as close as possible. They also got a lot out of the characters of both franchises. The music is beautiful and got even better in future games. The battle system is a bit off for me. It is not broken. There are times when I felt that I need better control over my character. Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep improved this and got it right. While I am at the topic there is a world where the controls are horrible or lets say need to be an acquired taste. Overall this was the starting point for the Kingdom Heart franchise and a really good one. It started a legacy but even as a fan I will say that this is not everyone's taste. For me its a classic that deserved to be recognized in game history. Its slightly below 10/10 because Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep are better and I have played them (Without this I would have given a 10/10). However I admit that it had the most intoxicating story moments in all Kingdom Hearts games. Expand

    Great Game it has some good exploration and interaction between objects and some of the best classical stories that your children can play sure its chessy for adults but its story is more motivated than any other game in the franchise even KH3 :). Combat is quite easy to pick up and the camera is quite rough in some areas but if you got it down you'll experience some of the best Ps2 games to date.

    I think in another universe we could have had a really smart sequel come out of that seed. Oh well.

    Still, almost 20 years later this game is still awesome, and I'd recommend it any day of the week!

    --The game is an example of a game that suffers from the controls that kinda wishes it was played on a keyboard/mouse. For example, trying to use items in the middle of combat is kind of a nightmare. Your left hand kind of has to turn into a crab.

    --Most boss fights are unique and the bosses have a nice lead up of difficulty throughout the game.

    --The camera is extremely annoying sometimes, but it's not any worse than games from that era.

    Pasarán los años y no dejaré de emocionarme cada vez que escucho el tema principal de esta saga. Un juego donde el concepto suena a aberración y cuyo resultado es una de las mejores experiencias que recuerdo haber tenido con una consola.

    Kingdom Hearts exprime el sistema de "mundos" para utilizar cada una de las licencias de Disney. Así, visitaremos el mundo de Hércules, Aladdín o Peter Pan, entre otros. Sin embargo, mis favoritos son los mundos "originales", que poco tienen que ver con Disney y que se aprovechan para avanzar en la narrativa principal.

    Para entender este videojuego, hay que remontarse a la época. Si no me equivoco, su lanzamiento tuvo lugar un par de años después de que saliera la PS2, cuyo poder gráfico era algo que no se había visto hasta el momento. Ahora pensad la década que nos acababa de dejar Disney: los 90, los años donde surgieron muchas de sus obras más famosas. La capacidad para trasladar la animación 2D a un entorno 3D con gráficos en tiempo real fue toda una proeza para la época. Ver a personajes clásicos como Tarzán, Bestia o el Genio luchar a tu lado era algo que no tenía precio. Son personajes que nos encantaban y que ya conocíamos, y Kingdom Hearts saca provecho de ello.

    De niño yo veía una historia de 3 amigos, aventuras y personajes Disney, pero resulta que detrás había algo mucho más grande. El concepto es bastante simple: somos un chaval normal, Sora, que vive con sus amigos, Riku y Kairi, en una isla. Los 3 amigos siempre han querido salir de la isla para ver el mundo exterior así que construyen una balsa para salir de allí. Sin embargo, la noche antes de salir algo pasa y son separados, yendo a parar a mundos distintos. Sora se despierta en un mundo donde se encontrará con Donald y Goofy (los cuales nos acompañaran a partir de ahora en nuestra aventura) además de unos cuantos personajes que nos sonaran si somos fans de la saga Final Fantasy.

    Tras esta especie de introducción empieza el juego de verdad y se nos da acceso a los siguientes mundos. Lo sorprendente es cuando nos damos cuenta de que la premisa esconde un trasfondo un tanto… oscuro. Cuando nos reencontramos con nuestro amigo Riku nos damos cuenta de que algo ha cambiado, y ahí es donde brilla la verdadera narrativa de este juego.

    En el aspecto jugable, el juego destaca por ser uno de los primeros juegos de acción de la compañía, sin dejar de lado la parte por la que es tan conocida: el Rol. Manejamos al elegido de la Llave Espada, el arma alrededor de la cual girará gran parte de la trama. ¿Es absurdo que el arma principal sea una llave gigante? Sí. ¿Funciona? También.

    El sistema de peleas está basado en combos, bloqueos y magias (sacadas directamente de los títulos de Final Fantasy), que nos dotan de multitud de opciones para abordar el combate. Aunque hay ciertas magias y habilidades más útiles que otras, todas cumplen una función y las que puedan parecernos un poco inútiles se volverán de gran utilidad en dificultades superiores.

    Como todo buen JRPG, no lucharemos solo, si no que tendremos un grupo de 3 personajes: Sora, el personaje controlable, y dos acompañantes. Éstos últimos serán casi siempre Donald y Goofy, pudiendo intercambiar a alguno de ellos por un invitado Disney en ciertos mundos. En lo personal no soy demasiado fan de los compañeros como aliados de batalla, pero sí que sirven de ayuda en momentos puntuales y más si sabes como equiparlos y configurarlos.

    No menos importante a destacar es la música. Yoko Shimomura debe ser una de mis compositoras favoritas de la historia. Su manera de trasmitir a través de sus obras y dotar a cada mundo de una atmósfera que lo diferencie del resto es algo increíble. Por no hablar de los temas que sonarán cuando luchemos contra jefes y, sobretodo, en la recta final del juego y en cierto mundo.

    Pero no todo iba a ser bueno, ¿por qué después de todo este tochazo voy y puntúo Kingdom Hearts con un 9? ¿Por qué no un 10? Pues porque el juego no es perfecto ni de lejos.

    Para empezar, la cámara es atroz y el juego peca de querer introducir “plataformeo” en ciertos momentos. Pero el auténtico estropicio de esta obra reside en el aspecto jugable que nuestros protagonistas utilizan para viajar de un mundo a otro. Así es amigos, la infame Nave Gumi. Estas fases pueden ser una de las cosas más cutres que he visto en un videojuego. Una verdadera pena, ya que el concepto de las naves Gumi, la personalización… es algo con muchísimo potencial. Por lo menos se dieron cuenta y rectificaron en cierta medida para Kingdom Hearts 2.

    Habrá gente que debata sobre si KH es mejor que KH2 o los que vinieron después. En mi opinión, no es ni mejor ni peor, son títulos distintos que tenéis que experimentar por vuestra cuenta. Para mí, la verdadera magia de Kingdom Hearts reside en el conjunto de todos sus títulos. Si os gustan los videojuegos, dadle una oportunidad.

    La duración es muy buena, si sólo te centras en la historia entre 30 y 40h dependiendo del jugador, en mi caso 44h y 07min ( sólo la historia ). Personajes memorables, la mayoría de ellos, sobre todo Sora que tiene que llevar todo el peso del juego. Jugablemente muy divertido y con comandos variados: ataques, magias, invocaciones, etc.
