My Heart's a Battleground

I just finished a 25~ hour quick run-through of Kingdom Hearts II, and it has proven to be even better than the first, if that is possible.

Those who know me, know of my deep obsession of the Kingdom Hearts idea. The idea that the heart is to unpredictable for anyone to "study", or to learn the way a human acts. People in this world are so unique, and spuratic that no one can honestly predict anything.
The additional story line that Kingdom Hearts II brings to the KH universe is pretty rock solid, aside for being slightly confusing at the beginning, which was intended, I believe. Organization XIII proved to be a good investment in "Chains of Memories", and the role of Axel and Namine in it play big in KH2.
Battle System adds more to it with a new drive feature, a feature that Transforms Sora into a powerful diety for a short time, pending which friends are in battle at the time. Also, a Limit feature has been added. Limits are drive features of sorts for other characters. Donald, Goofy, and all the other characters you meet along the way have Limits. A reaction command, similiar to the one in God of War, has also been added, making the player concentrate even more to time things just right to save time.
The choice of worlds had it's peaks, but overall, I was slightly disappointed. The new worlds, such as Port Royal, Space Paranoids(Tron), Timeless River, Beast's Castle, Mulan's China, and the Pride Lands had everything going for them. However, some of the older worlds, mainly Agrabah and Atlantica should have been replaced. Halloween Town and Olympus Colosieum were great in this one as well, but, a KH3 apperence could be bad for them. Hollow Bastion was on the top of it's game in this one, having a nicer plot line then it had in even the first.
I enjoyed the score for the game, but it lacked the original music for my favorite World, that of the Lion King movie. The Pirates of the Caribbean music was amazingly cut to perfection and played perfectly for the battles. The theme song "Sanctuary", is amazingly good, or it might just be I'm a sucker for some good Japanese Pop on occasion.
Voices for characters, amazing. Haley Joel Osmond does Sora's voice again, and with the help of original voices for many Disney characters, the voices fit in perfectly. Some big names include Sean Astin as Hercules, Christopher Lee as DiZ, Zach Braff does Chicken Little, David Gallagher is Riku again, and Dan Castelleneta(Homer Simpson/Everyone on the Simpsons) does his Genie, as he did in the original Aladain.
As you see, this game is rockin' the suburbs, like Quiet Riot did, and I suggest you play it
