he unlikely but successful collaboration between Square Enix and Disney Interactive returns in Kingdom Hearts II; where a darkly-cloaked Mickey Mouse joins Donald, Goofy, and Sora as they continue their adventure into several popular Disney-inspired worlds. Battling against the Heartless once more, the dedicated group of friends now find themselves up against an all-new enemy threat -- a mummy-wrapped ruler of unknown origin. Also fresh to the series is a brand new meter known as the "Transformation Drive" that allows players to merge with other team members to create more powerful versions of themselves. New costume designs, improved camera controls, and the answer to lingering plot questions from the first game are also included. Developed exclusively for the PlayStation 2.




KINGDOM HEARTS II
the story is not over

The story from the PS2 game is extending on the Game Boy Advance with this RPG collaboration between Square-Enix, Disney, and GBA developer Jupiter. Sora, the Kingdom Hearts' hero from the first game, wanders into a castle where he and his companions, Donald and Goofy, realize their magic and skills, earned in the first game, have been completely stripped away. Sora must traverse the castle on his own this time. Donald and Goofy must stay behind, but they'll accommodate Sora during battles as special attack "cards." When Sora encounters a dark force, players are booted to a battle arena where he must wipe out the threat using his keyblade and special skills. The game's exploration portions take place in an isometric perspective, and require a bit of platform-style skill of jumping and climbing up ledges. It's up to players to battle enemies to collect cards that'll unlock doors to the next part of the map.

Two major storytellers join forces in Disney and SquareSoft's collaborative action/RPG known as Kingdom Hearts. Beginning on an island paradise, the game follows the exploits of a14 year-old boy named Sora as he travels across multiple worlds searching for the whereabouts of his long lost friends. Designed by the renowned Square personality Tetsuya Nomura and voiced by A-list Hollywood talent, Kingdom Hearts combines more than 100 familiar Disney characters including Mickey, Donald, and Goofy as they encounter familiar Final Fantasy icons like Cloud and Squall in their ongoing battle against an evil relentless force known as The Heartless. As an added bonus for American gamers, Kingdom Hearts also features an expert difficulty setting and additional hidden boss battles.
