Story:
The story is unique in the fact that the hero does save the world but he doesn't get the girl. Another thing that makes it different from other RPG's is that not all of the characters are unique to this game. Kingdom Hearts uses new characters as well as characters from Final Fantasy and Disney movies. At first I thought the Disney characters would make it a game for kids. When I played the game I discovered that the story line is actually very complex. The story is basically a story about the struggle between light and dark but it also has a few interesting twists. I won't elaborate on the twists and story any further as it may spoil the game. Story 5/5

Gameplay:
The game play is fairly easy to learn as there is a tutorial at the beginning of the game. During the game you walk around worlds where you can be attacked by the Heartless at any moment. The battles aren't turn based like most RPG's but they do use a menu. The menu consists of four commands. The first command is attack. I think its obvious what that does. The second is Magic. Magic has a sub menu where you choose your magic. Up to 3 magic spells can be linked to a shortcut. The magic menu is also the menu where you select you summon spells. The third command is item. Each character has his or her, own storage space. You have to equip items like accessories. The last is a special command. During combat it is used to perform special attacks and out of battle to open chests or push things. To travel between worlds you have to use your gummi ship to destroy enemy ships. Gameplay 4.5/5

Graphics:
The graphics are excellent. The characters are extremely well rendered in 3D. Each world has its own unique atmosphere. The Heartless also vary in appearance. The level of detail in this game is extreme. Graphics 5/5

Sound:
The sound was also very good. Every world had its own tune which fitted perfectly with that world. The voice acting was nicely done. Sound 5/5

Overall:
Overall this game is one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life. It has everything: Good graphics, good game play, nicely fitting story and matching music.
I recommend this game to everyone who likes to play an RPG with a really good story.

Overall Score: 9.75/10
