Probably the most emotionally packed story so far in the series that I absolutely love. However, it's paired with some of the least fun gameplay I've experienced. I wish this game's problems could be solved with a remake, but that would require extensive restructuring of the progression and pacing. Better than Re:CoM, but that's the best I can give it.

I've been a big KH fan for almost 10 years and finally got around to playing this game its really fun panel system is cool the game is just nice and relaxing and it's fun to learn more about roxas and the organization there aren't too many flaws I can think of besides ds hardware limitations but the game was really good and I'm surprised how much I liked it despite all the mixed opinions online
Why so sad bro :(
Disappointing. I didn't enjoy revisiting levels over and over again, and playing as Organization XIII. I did find it amusing how you could play as Goofy and Donald Duck in a special mission mode.
I reviewed kingdom hearts as a whole, but I want to focus more on a couple of games. Straight up, this game made me cry, and I’m not a very water works kind of person. But every down to the story and music just hits so hard. While the whole game is inherently a recon, it’s kingdom hearts, so I can excuse it. Ever sense kingdom hearts 2, Roxie’s has always been one of my favorite characters in fiction and this game only helps it. Without gettin into spoilers, the narrative if sad and hard hitting for most people, and especially me. It (kinda) blended seamlessly into kingdom hearts 2 and chain of memories. And if you played this game, chances are, kingdom hearts 3 worked for you. All in all, it’s not great, but I love the crap out of this game.
i was going to give this game a 3 for having a pretty fun panel system despite the combat feeling slow, and then they started giving me tedious as hell missions
and then i got to leechgrave and i realized wow this game really ISNT an overhated gem it really is just a perfectly hated experience; bosses have way too much health, a lot of enemies are really annoying to engage with, and the slow as hell combat really stings when this game was the one that followed KH2, one of the smoothest feeling ARPGs of all time; I can acknowledge that my distaste for COM came from me being bad and unfamiliar with the combat system, but I can absolutely not give this game that same credit, this really is just a poorly designed game
this is easily the worst playing game in the series up until this point, which is unfortunate because it's paired with what's probably my best in terms of the story

Será todo lo malo que queráis, pero de chico me metía por el culo este juego.
Me vi la versión con cinematicas, me gustó la historia de estos 3
El mejor Kingdom Hearts.
I only got to watch the cutscenes since I don't own it on DS and instead only have its 1.5 + 2.5 Remix version that has no gameplay but I like the story
The gameplay is monotonous as every kingdom hearts game is, but Axel, Roxas, Xion you will forever be famous.
i just know axel does roxas’ & xion’s hair
the tragedy in this game is tame compared to persona 3
The missions can get repetitive but it is still a fun time, and the story is great.
9 horas de juego y no me convenció.
taking everything to account i'd probably bump this down to a 3 but ohhhhh the story i just love the story!!!
i did not play the original release on ds but i have watched cutscene movie from hd remix, very much needed addition to the story of kh2, glad i didn't watch it before the completion of kh2 because it spoils some of the plot twists, and for some reason comes before kh2 in hd collection
It's good for a DS Kingdom Hearts game, although it's the story that carries it.
a ver, es bastante mid, no nos vamos a engañar, pero sí es verdad que tiene ese encanto especial que tenía el prólogo del KH2, que es lo que realmente me gusta de la saga. pero también se pierde algo de esa magia en los mundos, la música y los modelos por culpa de las limitaciones de la DS; creo que hacerlo para la PSP hubiera sido lo mejor, y BBS es prueba de ello. las misiones en sí y el gameplay pasan sin pena ni gloria aunque cumplen el cometido de ser entretenidas para echar un ratejo, pero lo que más me gusta por encima de todo es la narrativa de mis tres pukis (dentro del galimatías que es la trama de KH). imho superan con creces a cualquier personaje de la saga principal y roxas se ha asentado como mi personaje fav. overall buena experiencia, entretenido, bonito y muy inspirador :3
It feels like I did nothing but also everything
The Gameplay is mid
But god is the story an incredible journey of two people learning to become themselves and then it all stripped away from them so suddenly. The tragedy of the sea salt trio will live on in the KH saga as one of the most tragic and best written. Roxas and Xion are both so well written and fantastic characters who we both learn to love and cherish. Axel is also a great character with his own flaws which I really loved as well. I would love to see this sort of in-depth character writing again in the series in the future. I think the ‘side games’ would make great use of this while the mainline numbered titles continue to be a continuous spectacle of games.
If you are gonna experience this story. It is best to do so with the cutscenes provided on the HD Remix’s
(Ranking is for Story)

another boring ass game
was too young to understand any lore, and was legit my intro into the KH series, so that also did me no justice on understanding any lore. all i remember was the blue sea salt ice cream and buying the 1st volume of Kingdom Hearts 2 to compliment the game. but yet again I STILL had no idea what was going on. despite that, game was fun as shit
Apesar de ser só cutscenes, a história dá uma complementada mt boa no enredo do kingdom hearts 2.
The limitations of the DS and the repetitiveness do work against a title that's meant to have so much heart (no pun intended), but the story you get to experience and the general gimmick is so captivating that it was and easy replay right after finishing it the first time
Such a good story but is held back by the gameplay. It would be great to see this on future platforms with some of the clunkiness fixed.

ROXAAAASSS Je crois c'est le premier jeu où j'ai pleuré à la fin
Great story, but it hasn't aged well.
