After playing KH1 and being moderately bored or disappointed with the fanfare it received I jumped straight into 2. Same feelings as the first game but this KH2 controls exceptionally and is fun to explore from beginning to end, if you have any interest in it. The game is good but I have to accept the series is not for me as I can’t be hooked on what’s happening on my screen as I just never start to care but I can tell im playing a decent game since the urge to turn it off only happens when im in a cutscene. I know the fans will hold this one as their savior as the best ps2 game but when it comes to me caring about anything happening on the screen this game just can’t do anything for me outside of some fun fights and goofy voices. Great game but maybe just too late for me to care about anything going on in it. I am excited for KH4 because if they can make something half as fun as this then add a storyline I can mesh with it could easily be an magical experience

I have never been a fan of KH but I wanted to do it justice and play it just once to maybe understand the magic in these games I am told about…I still don’t get it though. The gameplay is mediocre at best for a ps2 game and I think the fights all feel pointless. I think the story is silly but that’s the whole point of this series and if I discovered these games as a kid they probably would have changed my worldview but playing this game today right now in 2024 it is boring and silly at best. There is definitely a market for people who love this shit though and I can’t wait to make fun of them being excited for 4 since it does look kind of interesting, even though im sure I won’t care I can respect the fans dedication to the product and the unwavering love they show for his franchise
