Square and Disney Team Up for Kingdom Hearts

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the goofy-versus-tidus dept.

jaredcat writes "Ever wonder what would happen if the incredibly creative talents of Squaresoft and Disney got together? Well I never did, but that didn't seem to stop them. The first joint production of Square and Disney, Kingdom Hearts, was just released in Japan. Its an RPG with a Square CGI, a Square story, a Disney sense of humor, and Square and Disney charectars. If the opening movie is any indication of what's to come when Kingdom Hearts becomes available in the US, its going to be the best thing to hit the PS2 since, well, Final Fantasy X :)." Very positive review. Gotta admit, I'm intrigued. Update by J : Check out this review too, with a ton of screenshots, from the GIA: "By all rights [it] should be an awkward, conflated mess... instead, it's an epic piece of crossover fanfiction."

    The GIA has a great set of impressions up that I highly reccomend. Also a crapload of screenshots to peruse, but the impressions are top choice.

    IGN won't let you view more than 5 screenshots/movies per day unless you pay for their "IGN Insider" subscription service. So choose wisely!

    Well you got the details on the game now, check out the soundtrack. It seems pretty killer.

    Every time you spend a dollar on a Disney film

    placing a vote in favor of the DMCA.
