Kingdom Hearts II
Dec. 18th, 2006 07:11 amAquired KHII over the weekend. I've only played about 5 hours straight, so not terribly far into it yet. The fact that it takes four hours of game play to get to Sora means I've only just go to the second world (Mulan) and I didn't do much in the first one (Hollow Bastion).
Thoughts and opinions so far:
They've definitely done better with the camera this time. Now, instead of it panning round to Sora's face every time you enter a battle, the camera instead roughly the same distace back focused on the back of his head. The game play is very similar to before, but with a few new things like reaction commands (spam that triangle!) and drive - dual keyblade limit break type thing.
Best thing so far - Seifer's beany. I pissed myself the first time I saw that. It's very appropriate, but so very special. Not sure about the belly top though.
Worst bit was getting jobs to pay for a trip to the beach. You couldn't make enough money without grinding the jobs, even if you did well at them. The game didn't make it clear that you could get as much or as little money as you wanted, as it implied you had to have a set figure. I did get to beat bees into a pulp.
Struggle is a shit game. I'm hoping the area will be a fight arena not a struggle arena. I won my first match properly, beat the guy back, steal his ba... orbs, win 187 to 1. The next two I landed one hit in so I had slightly more balls, and then spent the rest of the match running away. It just felt wrong.
Squall's obviously been laid recently, as he smiled at me twice. Joe recons it was probably Yuffie rather than Aerith. Aerith is a whore, but she's more of a tease than a slut. He actually helped in a fight instead of propping up the wall. I was shocked.
No sign of Cloud yet :(
The whole 4 hours running around as another charecter was interesting for plot reasons, but the game wasn't very fun at that point. The tasks were tedious and repetative, which jarred with the very serious plot.
