"Can't Get Better Than This!"

This game is just perfect in every way. The extras, story, gameplay, graphics, everything.
Lets start off with...

Gameplay(10/10)- The gameplay is great. It's not hard to remember if you don't know Japanese. As long as you played the original KH2, your set. Anyways... The abilities are wicked useful in the game. Without them, you'd have trouble beating the game. Plus some are cool. But my favorite edition to the KH series is the Drive Forms. I like these mostly because of the abilities and the clothes. The abilities are vital to beat the game with. The most useful ones are Glide and High Jump. POSSIBLY Dodge Roll, but MAYBE, only if it's really necessary, but they're all useful. And the clothes designs are cool. My favorites probably the Limit Forms' clothes, bringing back the memories
. Next are the Reaction Commands. Those are vital cause beating the enemies would be easier. Plus if your in Critical Mode, you'll need them. Then comes the magic! The magic is WOW. My favorite is probably the Reflect spell. That's useful to finish off enemies when the attacks are reflected. But another useful spell is Cure. That's to heal yourself so you don't die o_O. Overall it's great gameplay.

Story(10/10)- I would give this part of the game a 11/10 if I could BUT I would probably look stupid. I don't know where to begin! This is my favorite part of the game besides fighting bosses. The story is so detailed, that I don't think it could get anymore detailed. Never skip through the scenes, even if it is your 100th run
. I have never skipped a scene through the many times I've played this game. Anyway, back to the plot. My favorite part of the plot is when they explain everything because you get to know more about the game, which is fun to learn about. My second favorite part of the plot is the fighting scenes. The descriptiveness make you feel like your in it (well for me, that is).

Graphics(10/10)- This ones gonna be short since graphics isn't something I care for that much. Anyway, The graphics are outstanding, especially for a PS2. Especially the ending credits graphics. Those are wonderful. They are so awesome at the end, alot of PS3 or 360 games cower before it. The gameplay and cutscene graphics are awesome too. But occasionally the camera goes psychopath on me like once in a LONG time, but I don't care about that, I find it funny.

Music(10/10)- I don't really pay attention to music in videogames, but when I heard the music in this game, I was AMAZED. The Cavern of Remembrance music was definitely the best. I'm gonna keep this short cause the other parts are important, but it has good music.

Extras(10/10)- This is another one which I'd give a 11/10. There are SO many new stuff in this from the original KH2, that it's not even funny. There are new bosses, minigames, areas, cutscenes, and they even added a Crown! Let's start with the bosses. The Absent Silhouettes were pure genius to add to the game. And the data battles, my favorite addition to the game. It's wicked fun beating Organization XIII over and over and over again. Plus you get a crown for beating them all! Then there is the boss fight with Terra (The Lingering Sentiment). He is the hardest boss in all of the series and one of the most fun. It was a very good idea to add him to the game. Plus you get to fight him as many times as you like. And you get a crown. Next are the new areas. Sunset Horizon, the place where you fight Terra. That place is cool. I'd just go to fight Terra just to Glide around that place. And the music is one of the best in the game. Then comes my favorite area: Cavern of Remembrance. It has the best music in the game, you get to fight the data battles at the end of the cave, and it's just fun going through it. Now the new cutscenes. Though I may not understand what they're saying, it's fun just watching them. Got nothing else to say about those. Then comes the last thing to talk about: the minigames. My favorite addition of the minigames was the Mushroom XIII. It's awesome fighting a mushroom for of the Organization. You get a crown for beating them. Last, but not least, the Puzzle minigames. This addition was cool. You get to make a puzzle, and get awesome prizes for finishing them!

Overall Score(10/10)- As I explained before, this game is perfect beyond belief. Why? Because of all the cool stuff that was added and the Gameplay and Plot. Don't Like it? Then your missing out!

RE:CoM may not have been as good as this or Final Mix 1, but it's still fun

I feel that your love for the game influenced the review too much but thanks for posting it!

I do have one question,

QUOTE hen there is the boss fight with Terra (The Lingering Sentiment). He is the hardest boss in all of the series and one of the most fun.

Harder, same, or easier then fighting sephiroth? also is there any change to sephiroth in the geme?

MUCH harder! He has an attack that'll automatically kill you if you don't hit the right command at the correct time.

Basically you love the game to much to say anything bad about it or over score on it.
Your so right! But I can find some flaws. For one thing, it's text is in Japanese. Another, some of the extras are WICKED hard, like the Hades' Cup, actually only the Hades' Cup and Terra. Some levels are boring, like Pride Lands and Atlantica and Port Royal and The Land of Dragons.

I think sephiroth has the same attack for a instant kill, but harder? s***. and I just found a vid on youtube about it. I don't think I can do it without throwing my PS2 out the window out of frustration.

If you think that Proud Mode video was hard, try it on critical, on level 1! Man he is the biggest B**** when you only have 60 health, and wicked low stats. Even on level 99 with everything maxed out on Critical, he is still a B****, take it from somebody that did that (me). And maybe not throw out of the window type boss, but he is throw down stairs type boss lol.
