I hate most Final Fantasy games (too long winded and i hate turned based games) and when KH came out I was really unsure, but the one factor that won me over was the DISNEY inclusion. Nostalgia hit me good and hard, reminiscing playing the good old snes, master system and mega drive games like fantasia, mickey mania and donald duck games.

I came home and knowing this game might be aimed at children (DISNEY characters), but realised it had a little more depth.

Granted it isn't the most original or greatest stories told, but considering it's Disney magic with a hint of SE magic, it became a story worth while seeing through (far better then majority of FPS stories). I enjoyed the game and appreciated it for offering me a trip down memory lane as well as making it enjoyable and fun.

The problem I still can't figure out is who this game is aimed at. At times it is far too simple and feels as if it is aimed at kids, but certain elements within the game are for a older audience. The balance of 2 imo is not quiet right.

Is it the great game? Hell no it's not, but it is still a good game. Overrated maybe, but it doesn't disappoint that badly (e.g. LAIR, TOO HUMAN etc) either. In fact, it is far from disappointment and step away from perfection.

Overrated Games that really need to be looked into again and re-reviewed are the likes of GTA. The crappiest most hollow experience in gaming ever. In fact i will talk about it more in depth in a new topic :p feel free to join and voice your opinions. KH maybe overrated, but not by more then a pinch.

As for it not being successful had it not been Disney... you probably are right, but then again disappointed with the new batman film. had it not been for batman being present in the film, it would just have been another crime buster film. It didn't feel like a batman film at all. The same can be said about the countless Mario spin offs made. They wouldn't probably get another look if it wasn't for the inclusion of Mario. The same can be said about the new Mortal Kombat game (a highly overrated fighting series), if it wasn't for the inclusion of DC, would anyone even care?

Lets just hope KH3 more depth in its fight mechanics. That's all that is needed to make the game become perfect imo.
