DualShockers Review: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

DualShockers writes,

"When Square Enix first announced that they were releasing a new Kingdom Hearts my day went from great to amazing. I went outside and closed my eyes with a smile on my face to intake the polluted air that engulfs New York City. Down the steps I went humming made-up tunes and dancing in circles as pigeons flocked to me and joined in the delightful music that I hummed. Crackheads across the street cheered me on as they smirked revealing decayed and missing teeth with chapped lips which resembled Rhino skin. I stopped and bowed as a Broadway actor would do after a show finished and continued circling myself around the pigeons that smelled like sulfur and boiled potatoes. In front of me stood a little squirrel that moved its head to the rhythm of my humming; I stopped, smiled at him and asked, "How're you doing today, Mr. Squirrel?" dug in my pockets, and pulled out a Trident in which he refused and bit my hand. I kicked him across the street, cursed at him and continued my day prancing and humming tunes as one would see in a Disney movie - except that I, of course, live in the ghetto. All this in finding out that another installment to the Kingdom Hearts series was coming on the DS."

is this review in depth but it's also hilarious and not one bit bias! Awesome review!

I will have to concur. I've played the game and can say that it's pretty good. The author hits the nail on the head with his points. If you've never played the game, or the series, I'd suggest you spend the next week or so giving it a shot. It's a solid series.

but please someone decipher this; it makes no sense whatsoever:

"The game starts eep-opping (my word for stuttering) during this massive 4 player orgy. It might be tolerable if you have the patience of a Shaolin monk, but other than that, the experience is fun as hell - a feat that separates this installment of the franchise from the others."

So.... the 4 player is the best part of the game (of course) but it stutters and one has to have patience of a Shaolin monk, but it's fun as hell.....? errm Okaaaaaay.

"except that I, of course, live in the ghetto"-best line in a review. EVER.

iiprotocolii5329d ago

What I want to know is if Square Enix is planning on releasing the franchise to next-gen consoles. Final Fantasy is great and all, but variations are good - how about a Parasite Eve?

sakura20095329d ago

Kingdom hearts was always a solid title

Chadness5329d ago

I love the Kingdom Hearts games, but who knows when I'll get around to playing this one. Good to know it's a solid title though.

My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!

Video Game Music Spotlight #4: Kingdom Hearts

VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "With the recent release of Kingdom Hearts III finally heralding the return of the bizarre Disney/Final Fantasy crossover franchise, I figured this would be a good time to look back at the entire series through its music. Overall, we'll be covering a span of almost 17 years, eight games, and several different platforms in this article."

Kingdom Hearts Xion is Just the Worst Character in the Series

Of all the pointless characters in the series, Kingdom Hearts' Xion is the absolute worst of them all, and she should not have been brought back in Kingdom Hearts III. Here's why.

Master Eraqus would beg to differ

Might be a controversial opinion but I've always thought Sora after KH1 was a very naive and one dimensional protagonist.

rainslacker1910d ago

Dunno about the other games, as he was pretty typical of the first game, but in KH3 he seems like a complete idiot, whose only purpose is to act like a buffoon and provide comic relief. I think overall, they've lessened his overall relevance to the plot.

AK911910d ago

He’s been getting progressively worse with each release.
