The amount of people that watch the HD 1.5 movie instead of playing this is criminal, the story lends itself way better to the days system instead of just watching 3 hours worth of cutscenes.
Gameplay is fun I never had any real problems with it aside from a few annoying bosses
I think the panel system is really neat, its something they never really touched again in KH and I think it worked really well here.
The story is brilliant, whether you play it before KH2 (like me) or after it connects to that and COMs stories amazingly, and the main trio of characters are so lovable its insane. They also give each organization member a real chance to shine here (aside from the ones involved with COM) and in general help to flesh them and the organization out as a whole. The story is so clearly formatted around the days system which is mainly why I think this is so superior to the movie, the way you experience the story here just makes so much more sense and the pacing feels way more natural. Also it has Vector to the Heavens and Roxas is a top 2 character in all fiction
play this instead of watching the HD 1.5 movie please god

Quiero mucho a KH y está muy guay tener un juego de acción en la DS y CON MULTIJUGADOR, ¡usando al resto de miembros de la Org XIII !
Pero entre los controles, el peculiar sistema de niveles y algunos jefes, se me atragantó muy fuerte.
Buen jueguito pero no es para mí.
Me alegro de que en los siguientes mejorase.

It's actually really impressive how they got a game like Kingdom Hearts to even work on the Nintendo DS. It works near flawlessly and my only real gripe is how the lock on and camera interact sometimes. It may have chosen a mission structure instead of the traditional one, but if you think about it, it's a portable DS game meaning it was designed to be played in short sessions. Not every mission is a winner as I swear to christ if I have to kill another Emerald Serenade it's so boring or as quick as defeat the Deserters, but there are a lot more winners here. The music is mostly recycled from KHII but that's not a complaint. Could you imagine someone going "oh man I have to listen to MASTERPIECE COMPOSITIONS for a whole nother video game"? That'd be bizarre you can put Vim and Vigor and Rowdy Rumble into every game ever and I'll still enjoy it.
The Panel system is pretty fun to use, I love this kind of puzzle power placement system. It starts out simple but becomes more puzzle-like as time goes on and you ultimately determine how you want to build your Roxas.
The story is also compelling, even if it's told a bit slowly due to all the missions. This is definitely the beginning of "The Disney Worlds are just decoration" and there was only two Disney fights: Lock Shock and Barrel (which this is the third time you fight them in this series) and Pete (Who's an easier version of his previous fights in the series). Some worlds are also kind of tired as Square this is the 4th time you've shown off Agrabah and Halloween Town in class, but at least most of the all worlds being recycled plays into the narrative. The one interesting World that wasn't in KH1 was Beast's Castle, which plays as a prequel to its KH2 appearance. The whole story in general sets up for KH2 and worlds really well as a midquel to it with its own compelling characters. The cutscenes also take advantage of the DS hardware, sometimes showing two separate things on both screens, even certain gameplay elements which is impressive!
It's baffling how every game got some sort of enhanced version except this one (which only got translated via HD Cutscenes) as this underrated game definitely deserves another chance.
