I've said this multiple times, and probably everyone has heard it already, but here goes again.

I think KH1 sucks. I think KH2 is simply fantastic. The original has one of the worst cameras ever put in a videogame, your party members are idiots and the game controls really badly (come on, was it so difficult to implement camera control with right analog). The story was ok, nothing incredible, but nothing to criticize either, it just got ruined by a very poor gameplay (actually, not gameplay, the idea is great, but the execution was really poor)

Move on to the second, and you have a game that fixes every single flaw of the first. Camera control, at last. This fix alone makes it infinitely better than the first game for me. More intelligent party members, perfect controls. Skippable cutscenes! Plus, they added the drives that are simply amazing. The new more complex story fits the game really well too.
So, in all, KH2 is everything the first should have been, and more, much more

This is one of the major reasons why I couldn't stand KH1, I would keep dying on a certain boss and everytime I would have to watch that long ass cutscene again. I still enjoyed the game, but I think Kingdom Hearts 2 is better.



I liked KH2 more but, KH1 has ENORMOUS amounts of nostalgia.

Yeah, I can't count the number of times I watched the scene pre-Ansem fight. And it wasn't even me playing (I had already given up on the game), it was my bro...

The only fight I remember dying in repeatedly was the fight with the Frost Titan

My ass did not lose to Ansem, no sir

I lost to him so many times, then I took a break from the game for a few weeks and played it again and beat him after my second try.



Both are really amazing games, but KH2 just had better combat and more cool characters. PotC was awesome to explore, and the actual game just felt like a juiced up, more polished version of 1, making it pure awesomeness (not that 1 was bad at all, it was great to).



Currently own: PC (duh), SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP.

 

I will be honest

I might put KH2 above KH1 if Square had taken a big Nomura-colored acid trip and made Organization XIII such an important part of the story. It needed more Disney, less.... Nomura



KH1- For Story, emotion overall feel of the game

KH2- for Gameplay and length

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
