Kingdom Hearts II is an action role-playing game, and the primary entry to the series since the 2002 Disney Interactive and Square collaboration. The game's setting is a collection of various levels (referred to in-game as "worlds") that the player progresses through. As in the first game, it II allows the player to travel to locales from various Disney works, along with original worlds specifically created for the series.
One year after the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Sora, Donald and Goofy awaken in Twilight Town. Bent on the quest to find Riku and King Mickey Mouse, the three begin their journey. However, they soon discover that while they have been asleep, the Heartless are back. Not only that, but new enemies also showed up during their absence. Sora, Donald and Goofy set off on a quest to rid the world of the Heartless once more, uncovering the many secrets that linger about Ansem and the mysterious Organization XIII.
The action, the mechanics, the creativity, it was all just perfect.
With Kingdom Hearts 1 being one of the most magical experiences I've had playing for the first time as a kid, I only had high expectations for the sequel. And in a rare case for video games it actually delivered.
This is everything a sequel should be. The gameplay improved immensely. The story using its pre established characters and plot to make something even bigger. The world and lore expanded. The music having more meaning. Almost everything has been improved.
The only downside (and I wouldn't call this an objective downside) is that you need to have played the other 2 games to understand anything that's happened in this game.
The first game is still my personal favourite of the series, however this is objectively the best one.
