My swagtastic Kingdom Hearts series review

[Redhollowlives999]

So as y'allz already know, I'm a big KH fans; the series is fun. So like the BK series thing, I will give a review for those who still doubt in the awesomeness of KH. And for thoses who don't agree can (just like the BK thread) give your own thoughts on the game; discuss it too, idc.

I'm going on the exact chronological order of the series (in-game), so keep up >:{P Here we go:




Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep 7.8/10


This game was fun, and a great way to waste time. It is a PSP game, so there no excuse to go play this on the go (unless you don't own a PSP).

The story takes place 10 years before the beginning of the Kingdom Hearts. It starts off with 3 Keyblade wielders. The lovely Aqua <3333 , the speedy Ventus , and the powerful Terra . The story starts in 'The Land of Departure', which is now Castle Oblivion in the lastest verison of Kingdom Hearts (Play and find out what happened >:P) The BEAUTIFUL Aqua and Terra are in the middle of a Keyblade Mark of Mastery when something goes wrong. I will leave it at that.

This game actually reveals ALOT. Any questions you may have will probably be answered with game. The graphics are pretty good depending on how you customize things, and the battle system is awesome. I don't really have much to say about this game. It keeps you entertained, that I will give you. And the abilities are AWESOME!


Now for the flaws:

-The game eventually get repetitive, though I guess that can't be avoided since you have to play as all 3 characters, it might have different if their stories didn't connect as much (there was nothing wrong with that, but it started to feel like I was playing one character's story all over again.)

-The Keyblades were rubbish, except for the last one(s). Those were freaking awesome.

-The Unversed (the main monsters of the game) got annoying at some point. Though their existence interested me @___@

-Lack of an actual challenge. After a certain level, the games gets to freaking easy.

-Needed more character development (except for Aqua <3333 She was perfect)

-Sever lack of Aqua in a more sexier clothing.


This game would get a 10 if it weren't for these flaws.

And also Zack is a boss:

Kingdom Hearts 8.5/10:


If you're looking for a challenging game, this is it.

This is the first installment of the KH series, and it is very popular. This story is about a fourteen-year old boy named Sora, and his adventures after his homeworld, Destiny Islands, is destroyed by creatures known as the Heartless, and his attempt to restore his world and reunite with his friends, mainly the one of the antagonists, Riku, and a very cheerful girl with a horrid haircut, Kairi.

This game truly offers a challenge since Sora is just so tiny compared to the enemies in this game, mainly the heartless. Its not like the other games, no, Sora actually has to fight hard to survive. So I really suggest this game >:P The system is fun and the keyblades are awesome


Flaws:

-The Gumi ships and the Gumi tasks got annoying
-All these kids talking about their hearts got annoying
-Sora's voice acting
-Annoying Heartless


Everything else was fine. I think it deserves what its getting.

THIS GAME HAS SEPHIROTH!





Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories 6.8/10


This game.... most annoying crap ever. Yet I couldn't stop playing it.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walk down a long path that seemingly goes nowhere. They see Pluto and start to follow him. He leads them to a crossroads. While deciding which path to take, a mysterious man in a black cloak approaches Sora and speaks to him, but at that moment his words are incomprehensible. The path becomes one and it leads them to Castle Oblivion. The cloaked man appears as they enter the castle and gives them a card. They use the card to proceed through the castle.

I copied it from the wiki because I'm tired.
Its pretty much what happens between KH and KH2, so it explains alot.


There isn't alot of good things, but here are the flaws:

-The battle system eventually gets annoying, why cards? ;__; why you hate us?
-Sora sounds like he hit puberty even though this is like a week after KH or w.e
-You only use 1 keyblade, even though you only get multiple keyblade cards.
-You need treasure cards to open rooms with cards/abilities like Superglide and etc
-Sora's situation is very frustrating, in other words, lame plot.
-Riku's cards are annoying.
-Hated repeating some worlds that I didn't like in KH (though this is more me)
-The room system is annoying.



I think my rating is fair overall. But seriously, unless you want to learn the story of the KH series, you should play this game. If you're just a regular gamer, don't play it. If you love challenges, then play this game, because its very challenging, everything you do can screw you over. You'll see what I mean.






Kingdom Hearts: 358 days/2 N/A

Never played it




Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded N/A

Never played it, all I know is that it takes place alittle before KH2 or w.e
I probably wouldn't like it.





Kingdom Hearts 2 9/10


This game is fun, its like your reward for struggling so hard in the other games, gameplay wise.

Sora and his companions have been asleep for about a year, regaining their memories. When Sora awakens, he eventually arrives in Twilight Town, the place where a mysterious boy, Roxas, lived before he suddenly left. Gaining new clothes and powers, Sora began his journey anew, unaware of the events that have taken place in Chain of Memories. Sora continues his quest by unlocking paths to new worlds, learning of Nobodies and fighting the Heartless, as well as facing the remaining members of the mysterious Organization XIII. As the game progresses, Sora learns about Roxas and how much they have in common.

The story begins with the player in control of Roxas in Twilight Town. Roxas has dreams of Sora's adventures while increasingly mysterious activities begin taking place in Twilight Town during Roxas's summer vacation. After obtaining the Keyblade to defend himself from the Nobodies, Roxas comes in contact with a young man in black named Axel. Axel appears to know Roxas, though Roxas has no recollection of him. Roxas eventually makes his way into an abandoned mansion where a girl named Naminé informs him that he is a Nobody, although he did not quite know what a Nobody was at that time. Finally, confronted by a mysterious, red-cloaked man called DiZ, Roxas discovers Sora, Donald, and Goofy sleeping in the hidden basement of the mansion. Roxas seems to merge with Sora. As Sora, Donald, and Goofy awake from their year-long slumber. Jiminy Cricket, who had previously chronicled the trio's adventures, finds that his journal is now completely blank, save for the note: "Thank Naminé" (which was written by Jiminy himself during Chain of Memories).

The battle system is awesome. The Gumi ship jobs are fun! I love the new drive system, my gawsh! This is my favorite KH game. The keyblades are awesome! This game has SEPHIROTH AGAIN! And dfakifhurdyakdhriyugh lanfuifghbnakhdfgb this game is fun.

Flaws:
-It takes awhile to get every ability to the max
-LEVELING UP WISDOM
-LEVELING UP FINAL
-The Nobodies are really annoying in the beginning of the game
-Heartless are no longer an issue, they're just annoying
-Things are really fun at the end. Meaning when all the good stuff is gone.
-Only 1 super boss
-You can't use forms in the final boss battle

Everything else is fun.




Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance N/A

Haven't played it......... Yet....

But theres no forms >___<








Feel free to post your opinions or even discuss

[Zup]

Impressed you of all people took the time to write this up

I agree with I and II being the best in the series.

I'd say you should play Days if you're a big KH fan. Plenty of missions to do, and the battle system is still great

I think you gave Re: CoM too high a score. God I hated that game -___-

Right now I'd prolly go with:

BBS: 3.5/5
KH: 4/5
Re:CoM: 1.5/5
358/2 Days: 3/5
KHII: 4/5

Haven't played the others

Do more reviews. I like reading them, plus your opinions are usually different from most others/reviewers. I like that

[Redhollowlives999]

Why is that so surprising to people? <___>

Besterest ever.

Sounds like fun, but I have no DS.... V___V

I think you gave Re: CoM too high a score. God I hated that game -___-

Hated it too, but trying not to be Bias. Its not a terrible game, but its the best either. I think a 6-7 is fine. Since it was interesting at some point.
Tho the Battle system eventually became rubbish.

BBS: 3.5/5

Fair

KH: 4/5

Deserves it.

Re:CoM: 1.5/5

Alittle unfair, since it wasn't hated by the public, but its not loved either. I think a 2-2.5 would have been fine

358/2 Days: 3/5

I'll take your word for it.

KHII: 4/5

I would go with 4.5, but I'm very bias when it comes to this game @____@

Haven't played the others

Likewise

Do more reviews. I like reading them, plus your opinions are usually different from most others/reviewers. I like that

[Zup]

Why is that so surprising to people? <___>

Cuz you lazy

Besterest ever.

Hopefully III will be even better, but I'm kinda expecting it to only be better than I, but not quite as good as II. Maybe it's just because recent Squeenix has been rather disappointing lately

Sounds like fun, but I have no DS.... V___V

Ouch that sucks. DS is great

Well if you ever get the chance, definitely at least give it a try

Hated it too, but trying not to be Bias. Its not a terrible game, but its the best either. I think a 6-7 is fine. Since it was interesting at some point.

I wouldn't really say it'd be biased. If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Simple as that

I thought it was terrible, though. One of the things that made KH so great was the fantastic battle system. Toss that out and it's not a great thing (imo). tbh though I was never a big fan of the story or characters.

Also, the way you accessed all the worlds and whatnot (memory is kinda hazy of everything so I can't be too specific) was a pain

Tho the Battle system eventually became rubbish.

Thought it was bad from the start, then improved a bit, then failed to get better from there

Fair

Thankee

Deserves it.

Agreed

Alittle unfair, since it wasn't hated by the public, but its not loved either. I think a 2-2.5 would have been fine

I don't take this into account when I personally review games. 1.5 is the best score I can give it, really. It wasn't enjoyable, whether people liked it or not.

Wasn't fun enough to be a 2 or 2.5

I'll take your word for it.

Your score might be different idk

I would go with 4.5, but I'm very bias when it comes to this game @____@

I thought about it, but I felt that it wasn't quite "up there" to be a 4.5. I'm tryna be more strict with my ratings nowadays. If I got really specific, it'd probably be a 4.2 or maybe 3. Not close enough for the 4.5

Likewise

Don't have the urge to either

I mean it

Lazy bastard

[Redhollowlives999]

Cuz you lazy

Point taken

Hopefully III will be even better, but I'm kinda expecting it to only be better than I, but not quite as good as III. Maybe it's just because recent Squeenix has been rather disappointing lately

You mean II?
Likewise, though with all the steroids Sora got in KHII, it'll probably be better.

Ouch that sucks. DS is great. Well if you ever get the chance, definitely at least give it a try

I can probably borrow the game, I just don't feel like it (I finally get the lazy thing )

I wouldn't really say it'd be biased. If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Simple as that

My goal is to simply say how I found the game and what the public might think of it, for those who haven't played said game for some reason.

I thought it was terrible, though. One of the things that made KH so great was the fantastic battle system. Toss that out and it's not a great thing (imo). tbh though I was never a big fan of the story or characters.

My favorite part is the story
Second is Battle system

Perhaps its cuz you don't get the actual situation. Makes me want to find out how it all ends.

Also, the way you accessed all the worlds and whatnot (memory is kinda hazy of everything so I can't be too specific) was a pain

In KH1 you have to go through the main way to get to each world.
In KH2, you have to go via the pathway of light or w.e. Which requires you to open Keyholes iirc
You stay in 1 world in the other games (Except for KH: BBS, you get dem awesome armors)

Thought it was bad from the start, then improved a bit, then failed to get better from there

I think it got annoying when the enemy started having 0 and 9 cards.
Before that I was able to spam the X button.

I don't take this into account when I personally review games. 1.5 is the best score I can give it, really. It wasn't enjoyable, whether people liked it or not.

Very well

Perhaps.
But dem Forms @_______@ Kinda makes me overlook all the other flaws

Don't have the urge to either

I want to. I just... don't make the attempt for some reason...

I mean it

Lazy bastard

I blame genes

[Zup]

Point taken

You can change that if you want

You mean II?

Yeah. Typo. My bad.

Likewise, though with all the steroids Sora got in KHII, it'll probably be better.

Maybe. Still cautious

I can probably borrow the game, I just don't feel like it (I finally get the lazy thing )

Well it's nothing too important I guess.

My goal is to simply say how I found the game and what the public might think of it, for those who haven't played said game for some reason.

I see. Good point, although I still thing personal scores should be as they are without influence from overall opinion. Including both, though, is great

My favorite part is the story
Second is Battle system

Other way around for me

Perhaps its cuz you don't get the actual situation. Makes me want to find out how it all ends.

No I get it all fine. I think it's because the battle system was new and exciting, whereas the story and characters weren't all that special, at least based on my previous RPG experiences

In KH1 you have to go through the main way to get to each world.
In KH2, you have to go via the pathway of light or w.e. Which requires you to open Keyholes iirc
You stay in 1 world in the other games (Except for KH: BBS, you get dem awesome armors)

...wut

I think it got annoying when the enemy started having 0 and 9 cards.
Before that I was able to spam the X button.

It was just a huge disappointment coming off of the KH system

Very well

Aight then

Perhaps.
But dem Forms @_______@ Kinda makes me overlook all the other flaws

And that's fine. w/e mane

Still a great game

I want to. I just... don't make the attempt for some reason...

Aight then

I blame genes

This thread is mostly tl;dr

Yes, Kingdom Hearts is a great collection of games. I've only played Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. Both enjoyable games.

Kingdom Hearts
Great characters, to me Sora was very likable, the other establish characters didn't deviate too from from their origins. The story moved at a good pace. Battles were cool, though I don't think I used summons the entire game. Though I felt like the story wasn't too complete. Good game overall. 4/5

Kingdom Hearts II
I though the battle system was funner, though mostly the same. Worlds were cool, returning characters were cool. The ending was great. Still a lot of unanswered questions, but I guess why there's so many more games. 4/5

Dream Drop Distance
Currently sitting on my self in its factory seal. Purchased on BF2012.

Dat Aqua @__________@

Haven't even played BBS, but agreed!

[Redhollowlives999]

You should it is fun, but it'll get repetitive. My suggestion:

Play as Terra first-
It'll give you a good feel of the game, and since Terra is a power house, you should be able to breeze through his story in a good day if you don't slack off.

Play as Ventus second-
The transition from one character to another is a good source for a challenge. Being forced from a power house to a quick hit and runner makes the game challenging at the very least. Plus Ventus is much more fun-er than Terra imo.

Play as Aqua third-
Save the best for last. I loved playing as Aqua, you now go from a quick hitter to a mage. Making the first original hitting and moving technique useless with her weak (but sexy) body. Aqua has an awesome assortment or magic. And shes the fun to play as. Plus OHMERGAWSH ITS AQUA!




Gotta thank Kazan who suggested I play this way when he lent me his PSP
