Yeah the story is a complete mess, yeah the Disney worlds have no purpose to the actual story, yeah I find the first 2 hours of the game to be really annoying as it's in the way of what I really wanna play. Kingdom Hearts 2 has some issues I can admit that but I generally believe that this game is saved from it's gameplay. There is nothing like it, the things you can pull off in this game are insane. Every battle is fun, every new ability you unlock makes you feel stronger, every boss fight is this super cool anime as hell battle. I don't think i'll ever play a game quite like Kingdom Heart 2. It is truly one of a kind.
