| Fei-Hung said: 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. |
On these points, I think you are right. Although, neither KH main games have received almighty acclaim from critics, infact...hey, What happened to the Edge Magazine Reviews Database?...oh well. But as far as I knew while Reviewers gave it high marks, there are many that didn't and it seems more of a fanbase that rate it real highly. But like you say, it's overatedness is nothing in comparison to some games, GTA or Halo in my view.
On the what it si aimed for, another agreement from me, adding that when I first played KH, it was diffcult enough and by the end Sora was powerful but I still struggled against Sephiroth. But then I decided after playing normal to try 'hard' and I got my arse handed to me in Traverse Town. I was well into my teens playing it, and it's no kids game in difficulty, Story and characters might seem so but gameplay is far from that.
Hmm, pie.
