After reviewing the first Kingdom Hearts, I knew that there would be a demand for me to comment on the sequel. Here it is, my full analysis of Kingdom Hearts 2. The game was originally launched for the PS2 in 2007, presenting a top notch casting, improved gameplay mechanics and new worlds to explore, like Tron and Pirates of the Caribbean. As such, it achieved a metacritic score of 87. However, there's a lot more to talk about Kingdom Hearts 2 than a score can say.

Given my love for the KH series, I couldn't include nearly everything I wanted to, but I hope that this 20 minute step back in time can help holding you over until Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out.

As for the complicated story, Birth By Sleep and a few others really help to bridge it all together. I just didn't want to spoil anything, or include other games in my review of this one. So I elected not to explain the complicated story that spans like 7 different games, some of which only came out more recently.

Enjoy the review!
