Why is Kingdom Hearts II So Popular?

kukyfrope writes "The long awaited sequel to the popular RPG Kingdom Hearts finally hit North America late last month, and in just those few days easily outsold all other games in March. GameDaily examines why nobody can resist the magic of Disney and Square together in Kingdom Hearts II and why the Kingdom Hearts series has been so successful."

I wonder the same thing.

A lot of PS2 gamers are buying this shit. Are they the same crowd that go "Kidtendo, Kidtendo LOL" or "more liek Celda"?

Every review says the gameplay isn't very good, so the only explanation is fanservice. Fans of Disney and Square (or, more precisely, FF7) are buying this game.

Good question

The game is just cutscene after cutscene linked together by linear hallways of tiled textures and featureless surfaces. Marketting goes a long way for people who don't know what makes a good game. It doesn't matter that it's complete tripe, just that it's Mickey and Donald and all the bad Final Fantasy game characters.

I think you got it right with your last sentence. The OP says that there haven't been any good RPGs out in the last year, which is blatantly wrong, before saying that KH2 is a 'very great game'. In other words, FF12 hasn't got it's english release yet so there is nothing else to play and he is all like I DONT KNOW IF YOU REALLY EXIST, BUT IF YOU CAN HEAR ME UP THERE, HELP ME CLOUD!!!
