Kingdom Hearts the game that fools you into thinking that it's amazing

Note: This is all opinion and I hope those who reply take that into consideration before they surely flame me to hell. Also this is in the Sony forum because I'm talking about the first game of the series.

I personally can't understand the praise that this game gets. I think that it's one of the most overrated games ever made. I bought it a few months ago after a couple of my friends talked it up to me about how amazing it was. Needless to say, I hated it. The only thing that kept me playing (I got up to the Hallow Bastion) was the inclusion of Disney. Nostagia is all this game has going for it. The battle system is a mashfest with small breaks for magic or healing before continuing the mashfest, and the characters are unbelievably shallow, and I can't stop thinking that if this game has the "Disney" stripped from it, it would be rated as a mediocre ARPG with a few Final Fantasy cameos, and a terrible story.

But hey, I thought Blue Dragon and Final Fantasy XII were amazing, so maybe I don't know a good game when I see one!!

 

Blue Dragon? Fail! Yes, you don't know a good RPG when you see one. It is ok if you don't like Kingdom Hearts but to call it a mash fest simply means you are not fighting the right things. The combat calls for so much more. So what that one button for attack, is that not most RPGs? I mean how is that bad that attacks are done with one button? Magic is also CRUCIAL in that game, especially the with the regular/Hidden Bosses. You also have an assortment of other moves like Glide and Dodge Roll, which are required to beat certain bosses/heartless so they also keep it from being a button masher. The story is light hearted, you have to get in the mind set of a emo preteen to understand it. It is actually pretty good when you think of it that way.
