Kingdom Hearts II Preview

Posted by Zonk on from the heartless-to-the-left-of-me-heartless-to-the-right-of-me dept.

1up.com has an in-depth preview of the much anticipated Kingdom Hearts II RPG. The second mashup between SquareEnix and Disney is expected in the states sometime in late Spring or early Summer. From the article: "If the first Kingdom Hearts was a crazy experiment, then the sequel is the final product, refined and polished in dozens of small-but-important ways. One of the most obvious improvements is the game's massively higher budget; though the first looked nice, Kingdom Hearts II is one of the best looking games the PS2 has ever -- or will ever -- see. From photorealistic models to 'I can't believe it's not PS3' massive battles, the game convinces the aging PS2 hardware to do things that seem nearly impossible."

    After an amazing first 10 hours, I've come to realize that II is essentially just a better version of I.

    I haven't played Kingdom Hearts I. Could I start with II or would I be completely lost?

  2. Where's Tron? by Progman3K · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There were articles recently mentioning that Kingdom Hearts would have environments like the movie Tron.

    Whatever became of that?
