Yeah i agree the first was sooo much better!! The second was really good but it seemed more childish and the story didnt seem to kick in till the very end =/

kingdom hearts 1 and 2 were both very fun. My favorite part in kingdom hearts 2 was when you have to fight Seperoth (sorry about my spelling) anyway it was a real challenge to kick his butt since he had like 15 health bars and even 1 of his combos could kill you

Seems like the Disney characters' voice acting in the second one was much worse than in KH1. Anyone else notice this, or am I just being nitpicky?

Aerith's voice was much better in the first one. But it was mainly the disney characters that bother me. They really sound nothing at all like their movie counterparts. But, i AM being nitpicky. /rant.

I thought most of the voices were very similar to the first one, however I did notice a difference with the voices of Cloud and Aerith which I thought were better in the first game. Some of the characters such as Cid didn't have voices in the first game(all his dialogue was text based) and I found it strange hearing them in the game.

I have played both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. It's hard to say which one is better, I guess they both have their strengths. I found the gameplay in Kingdom Hearts 2 to be really much smoother than in 1, but many elements of the game felt rushed, and I wish they would have expanded on Orginization XIII and Roxas a bit more. I probably had a bit more fun playing the first Kingdom Hearts simply because I had no idea what to expect going in; but I would probably have to say the second KH was a better game. Overall, both are great, probably some of the favorite games for PS2. Hopefully SquareEnix will bring Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix to North America.

Final mix'll never happen. They've never released any of them stateside.

You're probably right about Final Mix not coming to North America, but it still would be nice considering they are remaking Chains of Memories for PS2.

Yeah, I agree version 1 was way better, KH2 was rushed, and the disney characters weren't as important... The plot holes also grew bigger LOL... ._. But they will be making KH2 FM and RE:Chain of Memories soon, so hopefully it'll make a huge comeback haha.

Haha, Well yeah it took a long time to make, but I thought storyline itself was pretty rushed... But it seems KH2FM+ fills that in a littleeee bit more x3 Especially with the new critical mode that game out. (Damn it's so hard) So KH2 isn't my least favorite anymore, but I still prefer KH1 =D

Kingdom Hearts II- rushed? Ha ha ha, oh my. The game was in production for FOUR YEARS. It wasn't even close to rushed. There was more filler in the game, but it was not rushed. In terms of Gameplay, I like KHII better. The fighting was much smoother and the combos you could pull off were insane. The only thing better gameplay-wise in the first one was the magic. It was much better in the first one. However, I enjoyed the story more on the first one- it actually brought tears to my eyes.

They both have their good and bad sides... For an example... KH1 was very good graphics were beautiful, storyline was deep, the game was an okay-challenge and was perfect start to end! The disney characters were very awesome too, strong and played a huge role here. But KH2 was way too easy, the battle system changed way too much, the drives were way beyond annoying. And the summons kinda sucked... I think everyone grew up way too fast... But the whole "Nobody" plot along with Roxas's storyline made the game very interesting. But Because of the Nobody plot, Disney began to lose it's spotlight, and it's villains became a joke. So in all honesty, I'd have to go with KH1, though KH2 was alright for a sequal I guess... But I just wasn't satisfied with it... Just too easy and quick.

If youve played kingdom hearts one, you definitely have to play its 2nd part. Featuring new costumes of Sora. Good magics and Summons and Overdrives that are really wonderful and so amazing to look at.

It's an RPG game for the PS2. It features characters from Disney and from the Final Fantasy games as well as made up characters just for the game itself. It's fun to play if you're into real time action RPG games.

I much preferred the second one. Can't say why really... One thing I preferred though, is that it was a little less childish I suppose (like the storyline, seemed more mature to me). And the fighting was more fast paced in my opinion.

the first one was good in that it was the first and that it was challenging. The second was good in that it had better controls, graphics, and characters & special moves/forms/abilities/ect. I would say that I had more fun with Kingdom Hearts 2, but both are very special to me.

Difinetly the second one!! Everything about it is better Sora looks cooler, his valor forms and such, the storyline i never thought that we would return to some worlds again! The second one is the best!!
26 Feb 11
KH2 is the best!!! The forms is cool and the new Sp is great! The best part is that if you are stuck on a scene u can skip unlike in KH1 where you have to rewatch it until u win! Sora's new clohes is cool and Kairi got a lot prettier too and the new storyline also rock!

I liked the first one better it was so cute and fun!!! Second one i felt evry1 was seriouse and grown up did u? I loved Donald in the first. My main problem with part 2 is that they haven't given much on the nobodies...i mean both soras and kairys nobodies deserved a bit more time on screen then they got... i was really hoping to use roxas mo...The ending was very nice though right? What about KH3?

2 was so much better. it just had more to it. 1 was amazing, and 2 built on that in all the good ways. they are both amazing games, but i think 2 is the superior one.

mine is the second one, mainly because sora uses to keyblade and that makes the game so much fun, and so much cooler to looked at. fighting is simply awesome!

I think KH1 is classic, and will always be a favorite, However I loved the new additions to the game engine in the second one. Overall i think the feel, Style, and story were much better in the first.

1 is better than 2. 2 is easier than 1.
