Kingdom Hearts: Greatest Hits is a classic role-player for the PS2 — now rereleased at an affordable price, for those who missed out the first time around! This is the tale of Sora, a 14-year-ancient boy whose world is shattered. When a violent storm hits his island-paradise home, he is separated from his two best friends and goes to look for them. Meanwhile, King Mickey is missing from Disney Castle and Captain Goofy and the court wizard Donald are off to search for him. When Sora, Donald and Goofy meet, they hear about the Heartless: Weird and powerful creatures who caused the terrible storm and kidnapped King Mickey. They’ll work together to help each other meet their goals – and have an incredible adventure as they go!Amazon.co.uk Review
Ever wondered what would happen if the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney collided? It’s an odd concept to be sure, but from the most schizophrenic of acorns the mighty gaming oak of Kingdom Hearts has grown. Legendary role-playing game makers Square have been given unprecedented liberties with the entire Disney universe and have made a game featuring everything from The Nightmare Before Christmas to The Small Mermaid. This is odd enough in itself when you have characters as disparate as Tarzan and Donald Duck teaming up, but becomes majorly chance when Square thrown in a variety of their own characters such as Cloud, Squall, and Aeris from the various Final Fantasy sports meeting. But this incongruity has one side benefit in that the storyline behind the game is by necessity rather vague, which seems to have bunged Square from filling three CDs full of their usual New Age whining about Mother Earth. Instead they’ve spent even more time on the graphics, and the end result is a quite stunning 3-D cartoon.

As for the gameplay, it may come as a bolt from the blue to learn that it doesn’t in fact feature, as all the Final Fantasy sports meeting do, turn-based combat. Instead it’s essentially a scrolling beat-’em-up-cum-platformer with exactly the kind of complicated Square-stylishness knobs you’d expect. The game may be a small shallow, but it’s an impressive artistic achievement and to be quite frank any title that allows you to magically summon Bambi out of thin air to attack evil demons of the underworld has got to be worth some sort of recommendation. –David Jenkins
