A fantastic combination of energetic combat, great music, and beautiful visuals. Story's a bit cheesy, but what else would be expected from a cross between Disney and Final Fantasy?
While the dated combat and exploration may seem like a drag compared to what the franchise would become, it still holds surprisingly well on its own for the time it released.
A solid rhythm game bringing together most of the franchise's music in a satisfying way, while still sneaking in some amount of story to justify the existence of this game.
Carrying the weight of a franchise 18 years in the making is no easy feat, but the game manages to pull its story and gameplay together as smoothly as it can.
