Not as good as the games that came before or after, but not a bad game by any means. In a lot of ways this game pushes the series foward. It brings back platforming through flowmotion which is a new a central mechanic to this game that I like very much. This mechanic not only expands the ways in which you interact with the world, but also the ways in which you fight you enemies. This addition along with the more open areas and unique gimmicks make the worlds in DDD feel more unique and interesting when compared to the hallways in KH2 and in BBS. The biggest problem with this game are the boss fights. It really has the worst bosses in the series by a huge mile and a lot of the enemies feel very samey. Which is a shame for an otherwise very creative game. Even when the game fails at executing a mechanic you can still appreciate the concept at some level. I guess I'm more forgiving towards this game both story and gameplay wise because I know what came afterwards and I like it very much. It's still a good game like most KH games. It just has couple annoying problems.
