I can't wait for the long awiated release of Kingdom Hearts 2! The first game, wow! It was a really great game. It had
awsome graphics and storyline. The only drawback is the injection of Disney characters. But overall it was great.
Here is a review off of the G4 website.

Rounding out the video presentation, this PlayStation 2 sequel is taking its due time to release here, but the time spent
certainly shows in the quality of what was shown. The visual bar has been raised with KH2, and there was one sequence where
Sora was facing off with literally hundreds of Heartless creatures on screen at a time (ala Dynasty Warriors). The Pirates
of the Caribbean sequence also had brilliant mist and explosion effects, as ships ripped into each other in the sea of watery
graves. (Plus, Capt. Jack Sparrow looked every bit as crazy in polygon renders as he did in Johnny Depp's performance.) There's
also an absolutely endearing moment where Sora meets up with Mickey Mouse in an original Black & White world (complete
with early cinema cartoon shenanigans), and we caught glimpses of FFVIII's Squall, FFVII's Cloud, and some other famous faces.
The Mulan stage was highlighted, as was the Pirates of the Caribbean stage. We also saw a flying stage, which brings back
some ugly memories of the Gummi Ship sequence. Overall, the trailer made the game out to be dark as hell this time, and the
more sinister style and heavy Japanese influence makes us a little leery for how Disney fans will take to this second chapter.
Still, the visual design is breathtaking on PS2, the story looks deeper and more intriguing (with more knowable villains to
hang the story on), and you can't help but be filled with adoration when you see a dark-cloaked figure walk onto the scene
and reveal himself to be none other than a ready-to-be-a-bad-dude Mickey Mouse. Kingdom Hearts II is due for release in 2006
