  • I LIKE KINGDOM HEARTS ONLY BECAUSE OF ORGANIZATION 13 BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE HEARTS SO NO FEELINGS AND ALSO THEY ARE DARK AND COOL xD !!!!!

  • yeah, i started with this game and thought that org. XIII were good guys.

  • Pfft. This was my first KH game, and the storyline wasn't TOO incredibly confusing (and trust me, I know when my brain explodes) I think it was very enjoyable in every way possible, and I STILL think it is even after playing another KH game. I love it.

  • The good thing is that they can maby make this in HD some day :D

  • If they released the game based on the chronological order of the story, then it would've been boring. By releasing the games like this, it gave new information in a creative way. One of the major problem people have with this game is the character of Xion. In reality, to a big fan of the game and story, she plays a big part like Kairi or Namine. I know she does play a big role in the current story and she will play a big part in the upcoming games such as KH: 3D

  • This game isn't the worst of the series. Like the review said, it does get repetitive but it's still a great game. Any true fan would see the value in this game because it gives a bigger insight and a better understanding of the game. Considering the fact that it came out after KH2 but the story takes place before it, it's pretty amazing. Even RE: Coded was great. KH isn't one of those games where the story goes one after another. It's genius that they release these side story games. If they re

  • I love game but IGN is right sadly. You visit the same worlds WAY to many times. geez I understand the story is long but at least mix it up a bit. Not just kill heartless, kill heartless, and kill heartless in the same worlds. And also they picked the worst worlds possible! I'd rather play in Tarzan's Simba's or even Ariel's world instead

  • I don't mind the repetition at all! The story covers it up just fine and I would give it a 9.5 out of 10. I do not recommend this for gamers who decide to play it out of boredom. You have to at least play kingdom hearts 1 and II to make it worthwhile. It is a very strong game that will give a message to the heart. FYI: it has a very strong tendency to make people cry!!

  • @khdayskh1314

    just with crappy gameplay and slow ass start.

  • I would have given it at least a 9.0 because it is an awesome game.I have it and beat it

  • In my opinion, this isn't the best game in gameplay or graphics (though it is kinda good for a DS, I must admit) but I think it's the best in story :D

    I love this game...

  • I never felt so bad about a character before in me entire life, Roxas just had one hell of a terrible life, damn, even Xion, and this ended being my favorite game, because of my attachment to the characters, damn it.

    Well, heres looking towards Kingdom Hearts3D DDD, hope it does just as good.

  • My first kingdom hearts game!

    I got it on my 13th birthday. ^_^

  • anybody else just watch somebody else play the kingdom hearts that wasent on the ps2 just so you didnt miss anything??

  • I hate how this is only for the ds -__-

  • @PunkU180 I know, if Suqare pulled there head out there asses and made this for a fucking playstation line this game would have been SO much better on a playstation than a shitty nitendo. Recoded was fucked. But KH1 is my fav no matter what.

  • they should do a ps3 remake and cut down the copy-paste. but since the combat system is so flexible and all the battle functions actually are useable 358/2 days is my fav. i also have an unstable mental health since they killed xion .... really hate them for that.

  • @chibiparadox She might make a cameo in the next KH game. Maybe. Definitely not confirmed though.

  • Even though its bad fanfiction of Disney meeting Final Fantasy. The game is good, trying to squeeze a ps2 game in a portable console slightly less powerful then a playstation is a real challenge, the graphics in that respect is between passable and good. Its very fun to play ironically

  • @OmegaRocketGrunt i hope you mean ps1 because a ps2 is miles more powerful than a ds

  • gameplaywise i prefer bbs but characterwise i prefer this. the characters in bbs kinda sucked :l

  • wow they gave this an 8.0 sooo gay since the graphics suck horribly an he rates kh2 an 7.6 wow this dudes retarted

  • @ssgogetaunlimited

    When doing a critic, one must focus on every aspect of the game: gamplay, story, etc, not just the graphics.

    And don't compare graphics from two different consoles, specially if one is portable and much smaller than the other one.

  • This was the first Kingdom Hearts game I played. I didn't understand it at all :) So I researched the whole series and borrowed some of the games and played them....I might have started out a little late, but I love this series :)

  • @avpkid345 same here bro and now i have everygame including the finsl mixes from japan this series is so amazing

  • it's 9.0!!!!

  • it's maybe weird, but I found this the best KH game, not much new music indeed but the theme it did bring along was absolutely wonderfull and the best KH theme ever (xion theme) also the mysteries evolving around Xion and the plans for Roxas really where exciting, though it was a really slow story indeed, you'd have to beat like fifty days before a new breakthrough in the story, and the missions do get boring after a while, luckily the end makes up for it!

  • @Holliluvzyew Try not to start with this game, Try KingDom Hearts, or KH2. This game gives you the answers to many questions about kh2. It'll be worth it. This is a complete chronological timeline of kh:

    Birth by Sleep

    Kingdom Hearts

    Chain of memories / 358/2 days

    Kingdom Hearts II

    (Very shortly after KH2) KH:Coded

    And KH 3D: Dream Drop distance is supposed to come after, but we'll just have to find out!

  • Im new to the kingdom hearts series.. should I get this?

  • I thought re:coded was a little better than 358/2 days, though the beginning of re:codes was a little slow. I think the main games are much better most of the time.

  • Kingdom Hearts FTW!

  • this game's better than re:coded

  • i havent like kingdom hearts that much after they started making all the fillers they need to stop and hurry up and make kingdom hearts 3

  • re:coded seems better....

  • @mexen0 I thought recoded sucked.. 358/2 days was pretty good :D

  • @SantanaSyrinxxScars

    then you don't know shit XD this is the worse in the series,

  • @deviltetsuo555 Oh. well i liked it...

  • @SantanaSyrinxxScars I thought it was pretty good too.

  • @deviltetsuo555 May be true, but still doesn't mean it's a bad game.

  • @billyzanesucks

    yet still the worse in the series,anyone who says they LIKE xion is a fucking fanboy.

  • Would this game be good to have if i have not played any other KH games besides re:coded?

  • @yoshimario445 dude...how could you play re:coded alone and understand what was going on? The blunt answer is no. at the very minimum, play KH2 before you play this one

  • @coltsfanca i dont have PS2, only a Dsi and a wii which there isnt any KH games for the wii.

  • @yoshimario445 ooohhhh...got ya. yeah, this game is like a 'behind the scenes' type of thing for Roxas fans. Doesn't really advance the story, but makes you understand KH2 a little better.

  • best DS game in my opinion

  • ....did he just call it three five eight over two days?.....the proper way to say it is "three hundred fifty eight and a half days" dip shit

  • @TheVentusVanitas actually it can prnounced both ways because its a fraction and you can say fractions both ways

  • you know whats weird? IGN Is complaining about KH reputition but there ok with CoDs Reputitition

  • do you have to play KH two to get this games story line

  • @xxJoker270xx does watching a friend play through it count?

    ive always wanted to try the series out but com's card based combat annoyed me...

    would have been fine if they had something like megamans battle networks megabuster when you run out of cards.....

  • @xxJoker270xx o ya its quete a confusing story but its worth it the games are sooooo amazing

  • Wait...Why is that the top rated comment?

  • I'll call it Kingdom Hearts: 179 Days and there's fuck-all you can do about it. >:|

  • Why in the high hell did I just get a 30-second unskippable pizza pockets ad featuring a nine year old talking about his mom?

  • @TheBigBloop1000 you can get abp ad blocker extension if you have chrome or firefox. its an addon application.

  • @TheBigBloop1000 because for some reason you don't have adblock

  • @TheBigBloop1000 cuz youtube is a bitch

  • Kingdom of Hearts for the DS is a version that doesn't look very good. Maybe they should make RPG's that are original instead of degenerate offspring of degenerative offspring.

    Make a new game a new game idea. Right? Or just buy something because we have an emotional fetish to it, that is a lower brain function.

  • @MarkScheppy that would be called Final Fantasy

  • @MarkScheppy it is a good game and 2 player was good

  • hm.. i really want to get this game. right now i have kh2 and kh:bbs. well before i get this i guess i should hunt down the first kh and play that xD

  • Fucking poor people keep asking for PS2 and PSP KH games, time to move on square. Make a goddamn PS3 game

  • @MrGamerMan64 HELL YEAH

  • This WAS my first KH game. Yes it was confusing, but it also got me hooked on a great game series :)

  • love kingdom hears played all games and im not a virgin :D

  • @blueghost993 good for you

  • they fucked up on some of the weapons in this game :/

  • There wasn't much emphasis on the story here. Even though it leans heavily on previous games, and can get a little confusing in places, I found the central relationships of the game to be really touching, and this probably ranks as one of the few games that has almost brought me to tears during some scenes. The penultimate battle was just amazing (I loved how there was sad music contrasting with the fight itself).

  • hahaha, this was my first kingdom hearts game. Like he sais, i didn´t understand a lot :P

  • @Chindotata omg me to =D

  • @Chindotata Yeah the problem is, this game is barely understandable if you haven't played Kingdom Hearts 1, maybe 2. Lucky for me, I've played both :D

  • @FatKidNom and then CoM also helps understand a little bit (not much tho)

  • @FatKidNom I never played Kingdom Hearts before this game (well at a friends but it was for about 5 minutes) and I managed to figure out the story whilst playing.

  • i wish i could play this game...why must it be on DS...i don't own one :( and to buy it for the sake of one game is totally not my style..please put this in PSP or at least PS2. I really wanna hear Roxas' side of the story

  • It always kinda bugged me how this game uses the same enemy models but recolors then and resizes them and makes those new enemies. Why not just upgrade the Heartless as you get further in the game like any other kingdom hearts games? *Sigh* I love kingdom hearts, but for some reason I always find myself hating on this game... It's actually a good game... just my least favorite KH game.

  • well i like it

  • I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT PEOPLE SAY SORA IS THE BEST FIGHER IN GAMING EVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • fails in this review:

    1-theres new enemies

    2-theres new music

    3-of course its the same world than kh1 and 2 this happened betwen 1 and 2 not like bbs that happend 10 years ago...

    this guy shouldnt be doing reviews

  • @xXFiNaLfAnTaSyXx1 well the enemies are just reskins but i see what you mean

  • i love this game specially the afternoons because of ice creams

  • Every time I play this game I want to eat icecream..

  • @HeroOfMinecraft me to my friend...me to

  • Well, I never played any of the other games, because I didn't have the consols to do so, but I still enjoyed alot this one. Yes, it takes a while to understand what's going on, but then again, you can have a lot of fun out of it

  • Can you use DS download to use multiplayer?

  • @Johnny021ify no u cant sadly its only ds wireless play trust me i think too that most games that require u to buy another chip to play multiplayer is really disappointing

  • @Johnny021ify no you need your own 358 ds cartridge to play multyplayer

  • DAM I F*CKING BOUGHT THIS GAME AND HAVE PLAYED IT ALOT!!! BUT NOW I CANT FIND IT :O

  • kingdom hearts, for me, is by far the best game EVER.. only problem is.. WRONG CONSOOOOLES!!! seriously why not make those games on xbox360 and ps3?!?! they started with ps2 then GBA then ps2 again then PSP then DS and soon 3D DS..

    however, even if it was on atari i'm still playing it and i'm still loving it because the story is simply enough :D

  • @CrazyLegz4Eva Apparently, handheld is really popular in Japan.

    Besides, I like being able to play on a 5-hour car trip.

  • @DannyTPAlt

    oh well i don't live in Japan so if that's the case i guess they did the right thing 0.0

    would've loved it though if they actually made another version like they did with "rechain of memories"

  • this game is so fucking boring -___- at lest chain didn't make me almost fall asleep

  • I've never played any of the Kingdom Hearts games, but I really want to play this one. Will I really be utterly lost and not enjoy this game at all?

  • @BobaTeaSunflower Well, you will be lost. But that doesnt mean you wont enjoy it. This game takes place between chain of memories and Kingdom hearts 2. You will be lost for the most part of the game, but the story itself is a stand alone experience from the series and you will enjoy it none the less. I can recomend this game to anyone who owns a ds, with or withought knowlege of past games. Some orientation is recommended though, and if possible, try to play at least KH chain of memories for GBA

  • @LuksRokZ Thanks! This was really helpful. I think I'll hold off on this game until I really take the time to experience its predecessors.

  • @BobaTeaSunflower

    I played all the other kingdom hearts games and i still get confused sometimes so i really recommend starting with "kingdom heart" the original on ps2 then go to the game made next and so on OR you could try going with the game's timeline which starts with kingdom hearts birth by sleep.. trust me it's definitely worth it!

  • Well, I'd give it 8.5 or 9 because i have played the game and a bit of the other series, if you played a bit or kingdom hearts 1 and 2 then you'll know that Roxas is sora's nobody, and so on but the line is, if you got bored of the music,combat and want something new when the KH francise is fine the way it is why play it.Don't just make a review on a game series you were tired of.Obviously, he wasn't fully tired of KH hes still a fan just a little tired of combat mechanics and music choice

  • I would give it 8.5 because the cut-scenes are... well I didn't think would be so impressive with the detail and the story doesn't speak for itself. you really have to play every game before KH3 or you won't get it.

  • HEY! good nick name for this game me and my friends came up with, Kingdome Hearts: Too Many Days, or just Too many days :D

  • or the other games that have come out because i don't really know if there are only 2

  • i really like kingdom hearts and this game but i thinks this is definitely a delay from the other 2

  • He makes it sound quite poor, but he must be a true Kingdom Hearts fan cause he cant damage its reputation and has to give it an 8/10. lol

  • it was a great game but like u i didnt appreciate the repetition of the baddies but when u get tired of the music just turn off the volume

  • Comment removed

  • @Naruchu120 that is true

  • i enjoyed it because it literally tied up all the loose ends so i would give it a 8.5to 9 out of 10

  • Of course its the same levels. It is the same time period while Sora was there!

  • beat in in 2 days 

  • How can you get tired of the music?

    I can listen to Sanctuary for at least a week without getting tired of it.

  • @KingdomHeartsisGay you fag its just a game if you hate it dont play or watch it do somthing else with your pathetic life than rant on a videogame

  • this game is so good. im a kingdom hearts fan. and tes if this is your first game you wont know wats going on. but overall this good is perfect. i love the ps2 experience.

  • im a die hard kingdom hearts fan but yer i agree with the review this game does get boring thruout i only mainly enjoyed the storyline

  • 'If you've never played any of the other games, you won't get what's going on.'

    Yep, that was pretty much me. My first kingdom hearts game - I was confused beyond belief .__.

  • @Harnikawa Kingdom Hearts is very story driven, this is one of the worst games to have the 1st experience with because it really covers so much details and conspiracies that can only be fully explained by playing the other games. If you are still confused try playing KH1,KH2 and Birth By Sleep after playing these you should get 80% of whats happening.

  • @leatopia Haha nooo I get it all of it, after some VERY intense research though :p

  • You could tell that this reviewer was really digging super-hard to try and find flaws, but most of them turned out to be nit-picking on little details, especially considering that the back-story the game was explaining made the fact that you're traversing all the same worlds make perfect SENSE.

    Remember, kiddies!

    You can't spell "Ignorance" without IGN.

  • I like how this reviewer representing IGN always uses "I". Seems like he was expressing his own opinion, instead of IGN as a whole.

  • we won't get a new experieince? I hated playing from sora's cheesy point of view for 3 games. In this game were allowed to use a diffrent protaganist for once AND we get to play as new allies like the organization. :3 well thats what i thought

  • @Raykushi i liked sora in the 1st game but then he became an arsehole

  • this is my favorite ds game

  • GAY FAGGOTS ARE PLAYING THIS

  • @KingdomHeartsIsGay did you really make a channel to show your hate for this game series? Grow up and get a life. -_-

  • He forgot to actually talk about the heartbreaking story, and if I gave only one reason to play this game it would BE that amazing story. The ending makes it all totally worth it TT^TT

  • This Review is bullshit >_>, 1st what the hell does the music have to do with the review? last time I check those are the original songs from the Kingdom Hearts series. why the hell would they change it? 2nd You gave this a 8.0? and then you give Birth By Sleep 8.5? are you serious? You actually think Birth By sleep with a better Gameplay, lots of variety and content, AMAZING story plot, Almost PS2 graphics. Not to mention the amount of unlockables?, Oh! and your favorite lots DIFFERENT songs!

  • @ferrjimenez ... Should be .5 points higher difference than this Kingdom Hearts 358/2 crap ? that doesn't even make logic sense? I would probably give this 8.0 too, BUT NOT because of the reasons you stated on the video which don't even matter on a REAL review. and Birth By Sleep? giving that this game got 8.0. Birth By Sleep should easily get 9.5. IGN you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

  • 3:26 fave soundtrack. Its fucking epic

  • I played this game up to day 70.. i must say, some recon missions or like finding missions are anoying but eh. its a good ds game

  • damn disney needs to make more movies fast

  • i love all kingdom hearts games and this is great cuz it has the melancholic and lonely feeling the dark side of kingdom hearts. yeah the game is really heavy at the first time and being at twiligth town in the beggining is really boring but the game is a challenge not like the others kingdom hearts xD (except Chain of memories that was my firs game and is really hard) love roxas :D

  • I love this game. I have a feeling that if I could play 358/2 another 2 times, I still wouldn't get bored or sick of it.

  • Hm. He didn't even touch on the story that much. :/

  • kh rocks

  • as others said getting the psp for bbs is def worth it. and the NGP( ps vita) is only download based, so birth by sleep isn't even an option, u can only play on the psp

  • Ugh, controlling th4e least interesting character of the entire series through the same worlds as the first two games while having to endure carpel tunnel syndrome the entire time from hitting attack. Worst game in series.

  • if u ask me, this was a game more based on plot than actual gameplay. Definitely a game for the fans.

  • Although I do believe some of the gameplay is sloppy, I think this is definitely by far the best story that Kingdom Hearts had ever done- EVER. That's what makes it my favorite, either that or Birth by Sleep.

  • @cataclysmglitches I dissagree, i thought the story dragged on essepecially in the middle and i didn't like the story driven mission structure.

  • @123ezz6 nooooo because if it was then i never would have been able to play this

  • @123ezz6 It would be better as a ps3 game

  • @123ezz6 i agree soooooo much with you... partly because i dont have a DS and i do have a PSP haha but the graphics on the psp are so much better anyway.. but they should bring it back to PS2 because those were overall the BEST

  • @123ezz6 nah 

  • @MSAnemanja2 Yeah. It would.

  • @DannyTPAlt if it was a PSP game i wouldn't be able to play it !

  • @MSAnemanja2 Then get a PSP.

  • @DannyTPAlt cant my parents dont let me and none of my stores (i checked online and i've been to them) dont have Kingdom Hearts games ( none of em) i wanted to get BBS and they dont have it (they say it wasn't popular enough so they had to throw the shit !)

  • @MSAnemanja2 Sucks to be you.

  • @123ezz6 nah..it wouldn't :D dsi is better

  • @TigerzRule00 hehehehe no.

  • @Finalcrisiscore349 my opinon.....oh well

  • @123ezz6 no xbox360

  • @lildemon131 a spinoff in a console LOL idiot games like this should only be in a handheld only the main games go to the consoles

  • @123ezz6

    Thats why they made BBS

  • @123ezz6 Sony Fanboy.

  • Screw this review, the game gets at least a 9.0

  • Don't get me wrong, it's my top favorite ds game, second being re:coded. But it's so repetitive. There's only a handfull of enemies. Most of them just have different colors and you always have to so the same kinds of missions. Still a very good game though. Saddest ending if you ask me. Pretty much nothing worked out for Roxas :(

  • This was my first kingdom hearts game I ever played. It was the best game I've ever played on the DS, in my opinion. For some reason, I want Roxas back in the game...

  • I enjoyed this game for a while, liked the retro combat system and customization, but after half way through it, it just got too boring. Playing the same worlds and locations over and over again, along with missions that seem like busy until I actually get to the next meaningful dialogue, really killed it for me.

  • But it's not a spin-off. It contributes and has meaning to the main story, therefore it's not a spin-off.

  • @Sakuily

    it's a spinoff the charater of xoin is basicly a fan charater inported.

    deal.with.it

  • You're getting sick of the music? How in the world can you do that? I listen to Kingdom Hearts music every single day since I started playing it and I'm not even close to getting sick of it.

  • How the fuck do you get bored of KH music?

  • @DannyTPAlt easy by both being a true fan

  • @DannyTPAlt I know right it's unfathomable. Same as the gameplay and characters. KH got it done and done right. Changing these things would ruin the game.

  • @notforvideos Exactly, I'm a metalhead, and I love the music choices they made.

  • @DannyTPAlt Sick of KH music is he insane let's beat the crap out of this guy!! lol....

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo thats not nice would u like it if i said tranformers beast wars was the worst tv show ever and that i rather watch barny?

  • Even though i enjoyed KH1 and also Birth by sleep, and forced myself to play this game because i'm such a fan (but it was actually pretty boring :/ ), my fav is still KH2. I even played Chain of memories on GBA, was pretty cool but nothing compared to the PS2 games. Square enix really did a good job making the kingdom hearts series, they easily became my fav games. I hope they put in as much effort into KH3 as the previous games, because then we all know it'll be great.

  • @foodlvr123

    is that so? dude there's like 50 time skips spawning over 1-5 weeks at a time lol so you clearly aren't coming close to being able to PLAY(this is a game mind you) all 358 days

  • THIS GAME IS SICK

  • Jelous?... -_-

  • who remebers how excited you were when you bought this, then u played 1/4th of da game n realize how much crap it was

  • So it's not for people who haven't played Kingdom Hearts before but the ones who have will only get the same thing from the previous games and shouldn't buy it if their looking for a new adventure because it has the same areas and music... I swear IGN sometimes your just really fucking stupid.
