★★☆☆☆
Waited 13 years for this?
I'll be honest, this game no matter how much I want to love it, is disappointing. I've waited 13 years (as have many of you) for this long delayed title. The game play isn't bad, but it feels sparse in comparison to all the cut scenes filled with recent Disney hits. Honestly it feels like Square Enix sat around, wondering how they could make more money for the mouse, rather than creating a game that will live up to the Kingdom Hearts name. At times I felt more like I was watching a movie than actually playing a video game. The first and second Kingdom Hearts had their cut scenes, but they also had story. Story that didn't involve peddling Disney merchandise left and right and that's what this feels like. With worlds pulled from the greatest hits track like Frozen, Tangled, Monsters Inc, Toy Story, and Pirates of the Caribbean it's lacking in any real story merit. Sure the visuals are nice, but where is the game play experience and storytelling of the previous games? The bottom line, if you didn't pre-order it than don't worry about getting it right now. Wait for the price to drop. It'll be equally disappointing regardless of when you play it.
