Amazon.co.uk Review
Ever wondered what would happen if the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney collided? It’s an odd concept to be sure, but from the most schizophrenic of acorns the mighty gaming oak of Kingdom Hearts has grown. Legendary role-playing game makers Square have been given unprecedented liberties with the entire Disney universe and have created a game featuring everything from The Nightmare Before Christmas to The Little Mermaid. This is odd enough in itself when you have characters as disparate as Tarzan and Donald Duck teaming up, but becomes majorly freaky when Square thrown in a variety of their own characters such as Cloud, Squall, and Aeris from the various Final Fantasy games. But this incongruity has one side benefit in that the storyline behind the game is by necessity rather vague, which seems to have stopped Square from filling three CDs full of their usual New Age whining about Mother Earth. Instead they’ve spent even more time on the graphics, and the end result is a quite stunning 3-D cartoon.

As for the gameplay, it may come as a surprise to learn that it doesn’t actually feature, as all the Final Fantasy games do, turn-based combat. Instead it's essentially a scrolling beat-'em-up-cum-platformer with exactly the kind of complicated Square-style knobs you’d expect. The game may be a little shallow, but it’s an impressive artistic achievement and to be quite frank any title that allows you to magically summon Bambi out of thin air to attack evil demons of the underworld has got to be worth some sort of recommendation. --David Jenkins

A game combining Final Fantasy-style role-playing with virtually every Disney franchise that's ever existed? It might sound like a corporate property leveraging exercise from hell, and an idea sure to alienate Final Fantasy purists, but Kingdom Hearts turns out to be a smooth and hypnotically weird merging of brands. Even if the original impetus was to make mucho bucks by capturing both Disney and FF fans, this game is a product of loving attention to detail. Developers Disney Interactive and SquareSoft haven't merely stuffed a bunch of Disney characters into Final Fantasy, but have created an innovative and accessible RPG experience with real-time (instead of the usual turn-based) combat and dazzlingly beautiful environments. A customer on Amazon.com's sister site in Japan (where the game is already a smash hit) writes, "I pity anyone who doesn't play this game."

I only gave it two stars because I love the second one!!!
This game was really not that great,I played it thinking that I would love it,but whenever I started playing it,I didn't like it,you can't move you screen which is a HUGE handicap,the gummi ships are bad because you have to put them together piece by piece which takes time and sometimes it won't let you do it.The game is also very hard,I love anything that has to do with Kingdom Hearts but this was a letdown.

Got it in 4th Grade
when the game came out i didnt no anything about FF and really didnt care much for disney... but as a little 4th or 5th grader i was really curious... so i bought the game. i loved the game soo much. i later got kingdom hearts 2 and i have the psp and cant w8 for birth by sleep. at times the game might seem a little too, how do i say this, written for kids, but just like the cat in the hat books, it has a really thought out story line for a more mature mind to grasp. sadly i never beat the game, i got to the second to last boss, and then my memory got corruped(cuz i turned it off while i was saving on accident). and also never got around to beat the second 1, i was on the last boss, then skool started or something, forgot. and well, i like them cuz its like a movie, but it also gives u a fun time. Very Addictive, if u havnt played it, buy it now

Well, only 3 letters to explain: W-O-W
I first heard about this game when one of my friends at school mentioned it to me. I was slightly interested, and decided to try it. I've always been a big Disney fan, and I think without the Disney, I wouldn't have bought this game. I was skeptical when I first heard about it, having never heard of Square Enix and thinking that Final Fantasy was a movie....well, anyways, I popped this into my PS3, and I was purely amazed by the graphics, for a 2002 game. They surpass most of my newer PS2 games! I love the characters, and the voice overs are great! Even if you don't like Sora or Kairi or Riku at first, they tend to grow on you. Sora and Riku's friendly competitivness is always fun to watch and play. The only thing I don't really like about the characters is the fact that their feet are a bit...large, and Sora acts more like an 11 year old than a 14 year old.

As for the actual gameplay: Very simple to learn, and once you do, easy to use. Before I got into Kingdom Hearts, my favorite games were the Legend of Spyro games, and I loved the combat system in those. KH uses a similar system, with the simple press a button and hit the enemy. It's not too hard but not too easy, either. Whoever says the battle system is too hard, I'd like to ask them how exactly do YOU play it? Becuase it's simple as anything to me. The only thing I didn't like about the gameplay was the camera, hard to maneuver and often getting in your way while fighting a boss. But that's an easy problem to overcome; eventually I just started to not even notice it.

I think the only game that ever tops this one is the sequal (Kingdom Hearts II, for those of you who couldn't figure that one out by yourselves ;D)
