Before there was the mess that Kingdom Hearts has become today, there was this game. The store is a simple good vs. evil story, & ironically enough plays out like a typical Disney movie. The main cast is charming & the game oozes personality throughout it's music & visuals. While all of this sounds great on paper, unfortunatley in practice the gameplay shows it's age hard. Like many late 90's & Y2K 3D games, the platforming is very rough and the camera system gets in the way many times. This especially becomes a pain during horde encounter & boss fights when you're trying to time your dodges & blocks. If you want to get through this game do so on a lower difficulty so you don't get pissed at the jank, if you're looking for a challenege the gameplay in future titles is much better.
