Back to the normal schedule now people, everyday!

Woot!


First is a review of a game.....
This game being Kingdom Hearts 2



Shown here is Sora, sporting a Drive Change, which is a key point of the game.




Kingdom Hearts 2 starts...Well.....It starts with you having no clue what's going on. For the first hours of the game, you play Roxas, NOT SORA (Although, his relation to Sora is announced later.) Roxas is having Sora's dreams.... Things keep attacking him, he has a keyblade, scenes of men in robes talking come on. Your lost. and you will be. For a pretty long time.
Then you switch to Sora. You have good ol' Donald and Goofy. You know Sora's story, so you'll be getting it for a while until later where they explain relations, and a mysterious organization. You travel to Disney worlds, battle, have fun.

Now, the gameplay is a bit easy, and button-mashy. Press X for attack, which instantly becomes combos. Triangle acts as a trigger special effect when available. Say you just hit a combo on a boss and your falling from air. A triangle command will appear and you can slash down. The effects are always different, depending on who your fighting.

Summons? Check. Party Changes? Check. The whole game is beautifully done. The story will hook you. The game is great looking with amazing graphics.

The drive gauge is an awesome change as well. When full, by hitting enemies or being hit, you can change clothes into another from. Valor forms with Goofy and you wield two keyblades and have longer combos. Mystic forms with Donald and turns your keyblade into a gun. You can attack long range with instant hits. Master form fuses with both. You get two keyblades, enhanced attack and longer combos. Final form is like an all out blast. (shown above, silver costume. ) And the Nega form happens at random, and you get turned into a heartless with combos that go on forever and very strong attack. You have these until the time runs out on your gauge. You start with valor, you have to unlock the rest.

The story is great, but prepared to be lost. It all wraps up in the end. I won't spoil the story at all. Not even basic plot. I will tell you their are a new enemy, nobodies, who have a special relation to heartless.

Pros- Great Story, great graphics, cool gameplay, good experience all around
Cons- Boss battles sometimes way too hard, rest of the game a bit too easy. World over too fast


Final Score- 9.5/10


Here are some pics and captions
The mysterious Organization XIII
Battle Time!
The best world in the game, over way too fast
I outlined it for you, the line leading from the green part says "This is the trigger effect"
