I've got quite a bit of time in on Kingdom Hearts 2 already... and I haven't left Twilight town yet. It's because I'm going over the whole game with a fine tooth comb, searching every corner and back alley in the game. The first kingdom hearts, you were missing half the fun if you didn't search and find the little secret stuff here and there. The story is incredible... I've noticed that alot of the reviews for the game are claiming to have spent 40 to 100 hours on it.... which is BS!!! So, if you want to see an accurate review... I'll be posting one after an entire weekend of solid non stop play. Check back next week. If you want to know wiether or not to buy the game... I haven't left the begining crap and already can tell you... KH2 is better then the original.
