Since I hated the first one, I don't really mind just trucking through it for gameplay. If I'm really concerned, I'll rent the US game next week.

The only reason I would anyway would be to hear Christopher Lee jibba jabber.

LOL...then I really don't get why you're playing it at all. Is it that different from the first? Looks like "more of the same but better."

WAY better.

The gameplay is awesome this time.

No widescreen isnt that big of a deal. Does it support Progressive Scan at least? That is a big deal.

Eh. If I had to choose between widescreen and progressive scan, I'm picking widescreen.

Because this is not even close to the first game. It's not like a "bigger, better" game either. It's just really good period. I think what I love the most are the time button presses a la Shenmue and God of War. There are so many for the most worthless of Heartless and they're all fun to pull off.

The combination and fusion form moves are incredibly wicked, too. :)

Hell no. Not at all. They explain any loose ends. I understood everything and I'm playing it in Japanese.

Neat, then. I'm like the only human being who was happy with the gameplay of the first, so this is bonus.

To be fair, I didn't hate everything about the first game. It was one very very small sidequest (finding synthesis items for the ultimate keyblade) that made me hate it that was always the only thing I could remember of the game. Overall, 1 has nothing on 2.

Does Disney have any creative input on these games, or is it all Square-Enix?

Disney has QC I believe, but story is all S-E.
