   Kingdom hearts 3D is the only reason i bought a 3DS at all and it was worth every penny. The combat is the fastest it has ever been in the KHKingdom hearts 3D is the only reason i bought a 3DS at all and it was worth every penny. The combat is the fastest it has ever been in the KH series, Dash to and from buildings to pull off amazing combos is extremely fun. Collecting Dream eaters is also pretty fun trying to find the right combo of Dream eaters for yourself i found to be an enjoyable experience. The OST and aesthetics are beautiful as i've come to expect from the KH series.The story is very enjoyable but it can be a bit confusing to those who haven't played all the games but it does give a nice little explanation of every game. Now for some of the problems i had with it only 2. The game was just a bit too easy and getting the secret ending was just way too easy. The worlds felt way too empty the size was nice but they just felt dead. Overall i really enjoyed it and i'm glad i bought it.… Expand

   Kh:3d is another spin off in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, this time for the nintendo 3ds. Why square enix keeps changing consoles is beyondKh:3d is another spin off in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, this time for the nintendo 3ds. Why square enix keeps changing consoles is beyond me, if you want to play every game you need to buy at least one home console and three handled, 4 consoles in the course of 10 years, with only TWO main entry. This particular game has been marketed as a kingdom hearts 3 in all but the name with an emphasis on completely new disney worlds and completely new enemies. Main problem is that this game feels unnecessary, seriosly, I thought that the plot started only in the very last world, the 7 worlds before that felt like a padding where nothing happens. In other installments I thought that the disney world were somehow linked to the main plot, or helped develop character arcs. Here instead it goes like this:"hi I am a stranger, now we're instantly friends! I believe in you! The power of friendship will save the day!". This is overused to the point of not being taken seriously at all. When the plot really starts (again in the very last world) we're bombarded with details that you won't be able to track all at once, you'll go to wikipedia to try to understand what happened. If you pretend that this game has no plot (and it won't be hard to do it), you will be amazed by how well designed are the environments, I personally hate linearity so complicated levels=win. Battle system sees the addition of two elements:flow motion and dream eaters. The former is a way to move faster from point A to B, using contestual commands to inflict damage, the latter is a pokemon-like way of having companions, replacing Donald and Goofy. Managing and developing the dream eater is a game within a game and usually it will require making interactions using the touch screen. Each monster has its own abilities, and can grant the player new upgrades, boosts or skills. Did I say THE player? I should have said the the TWO players: in this game you control both Sora and Riku, not at the same time but skipping from one to the other.
   How the "skip" works can and most of the time will be frustrating, each session with Sora or Riku has a timer, once it reaches zero you suddendly fall asleep and pass the control to the other character. It can be annoying if it happens during the looooong boss fights. Speaking of boss fights, some how enix forgot they were developing for an handeld, so sometimes it will be frustrating die battling the third form of a boss, then starting from the beginning of the battle. The very last part of the game, it has lots of cutscenes, a multi part boss fight, but no "save function" in between, and no "restart when you died" feature, so you would restart from scratch, swearing a lot during the process. In the end should I reccomend this game? Of course I will, you bought it the minute it hit shelves and got a 3ds just to play it. Does it feel necessary? Yes. Does it feel like a good game? Yes, the dream eater managing is so deep and complex that you will find the need to catch'em all ( no pun intended). forget about the story, it stopped making sense halfway through kingdom hearts 2 so play it for the gameplay alone :)… Expand

   The trailer is epic , but the game is not epic as shown in the trailer....I really wonder why they put a same series games over severalThe trailer is epic , but the game is not epic as shown in the trailer....I really wonder why they put a same series games over several consoles......I am not the kingdom heart fan who played all the series before , I never play ps2 kh , psp kh , and kh ds before....Actually I don't know what is the earth is going on with the story...This lead me to play psp, gba and ds kingdom hearts.....Still, I don't get it very well....The cut scene is good , the music is epic without any doubt , the game look a little bit pixelated on 3ds xl but nothing bother the gameplay. My conclusion is......GBA kingdom heart is the best? KINGDOM HEART 3D graphic improvement is impressive ,the story is weird as always , the flowmotion is amazing too! DONT BELIEVE REVIEW, BELIEVE YOURSELF , if you never play this series , you can try it..... If you found out the game is boring , don't blame me hahahahaha… Expand

   The Osaka team was one of the biggest mistakes Square could've done.
   Something happened in this game that transfered over to KH3 and that is world design and story changes, i really dont like time travel, everyone dead or seemed dead are to be brought to life. Nobody can die and you feel stupid for being emotional in past games and up until 2011 (which is quite a few years since KH1) you actually thought these scenes were meaningful.
   
   This game is a good reason why sequels suck. They're just messing to much with the story and adding nonsensical stuff that even confuses Nomura, why is my question. KH was always a little complex to understand but they had to bump it up from 3 to 100 for some reason
   
   Pros:
   -The battle system is great once you ignore flowmotion.
   -The gameplay can be fun and grinding for better Pokemons
   -Challenging gameplay and bosses on critical.
   -Just overall enjoyable game with bunch of stuff to do, tons of grinding. I definetly like that
   -1 good map: Musketeer World.
   
   Cons:
   -Pokemon concept from FFXIII-2 and Time Travel added from the same development team. Basically KH got same treatment and it sucks but somehow people like it, thats why they use the same ideabox. Both games are very identical in many ways.
   -Petting pokemons and that sucky song that i have to turn off everytime i go into the pet menu.
   -Abilities are stuck on your pets, its interesting but also very tedious. I dont hate it but its definetly a con.
   -Super large empty maps, that was also used for KH3.
   -KH story had great buildup until this game, and then we get time travel and nobody cant die, everyone will be rescued and blablabla.
   
   Basically KH3 ignores the games before BbS, the ideas are lacking so time travel is the answer and the terrible storyplot are hidden in Dream Drop Distance and phone games, it sucks because its only a shadow of what KH can be. The quality isnt there anymore but these games are still enjoyable.… Expand
