Say what you will about Kingdom Hearts - its convoluted mess of a story, goofy ass characters, wonky dialogue, the number of spin-off titles on separate consoles/handhelds, etc. but the one thing that is, and will remain undeniably great about KH, is its amazing music.

Yoko Shimomura is legendary, and has been one of my favorite composers since the PS1 Parasite Eve days. Her music in the KH series really carries and elevates the entire experience, and is the primary reason why there are so many fans... For this game being dedicated purely to the KH soundtracks throughout the series, it gets a passing grade from me.

Oh, and I really found the version of the song Dearly Beloved in this game to not be depressing and melancholic for once - what a funky mix! :)
