What Game Would Be As Good, If Not Better In A Different Genre?

Kingdom Hearts would be better as a straight up 3D platformer/action hack n slash game. I think all the RPG elements go over the heads of the young audience that Disney appeals to (nostalgic adults aside). I know that when I bought the first game at 10 years old I had no idea it was even an RPG...

Either that, or a full-on RPG. But what it is now is a mess of a mix of different genres mashed together haphazardly.

This.
I'd much rather it was a turn-based RPG than action RPG. You could take a half-step a la Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi where you need to react enemy, but the real-time battles with limited control over Donald and Goofy was always so frustrating to me. No matter how you set the AI in the original game they never seem to do what you want. I'd rather just have full control over them.
