Kotaku: Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Review: Sleeper Hit

Mike Fahey Writes:

A decade before Sora faced off against his first Heartless, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus battled the Unversed across a multitude of Disney-themed worlds in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

Kingdom Hearts fans have been eager to get their hands on Terra, Aqua, and Ventus since they first appeared in the secret trailer for Birth by Sleep which released with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in 2007. After a long wait, fans can finally experience the trio's adventures as they battle the mysterious Unversed, hobnob with well-known Disney characters, and help set in motion the events that lead up to 2002's Kingdom Hearts for the PlayStation 2

Was Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep a Masterpiece or an Exercise in Tedium?

Overall, Birth By Sleep is an important slice of the Kingdom Hearts series, and shouldn’t be missed out on if you’re looking to get into the series. Granted, some of the features and moment-to-moment gameplay is lost when it transitioned from the PSP to modern consoles. But nonetheless, one can’t deny its overall importance to the story and the impact of its mechanics and systems to the series overall.

i like it, but its just too much "friendships are the key to our power" bs.
don't get me started on them minigames lol

i think the game had tremendous potential for essential online gaming and other things. but they didnt do a whole lot with it in the remaster.

i would, however, consider it to be one of the harder games in the series, which is good
