I advise you listen to no one but qwerty in this thread. Kingdom Hearts is a great series. While II is fun and leaves you with a feeling like you're reminiscing with an old friend, the first blows it out of the water, and that's the only slightly negative thing I think I'll ever say about this series. Though, admittedly, I haven't played 358/2 or Birth by Sleep.
Two is just funner combat wise to me. The story of one was so much better though. The main problem I have with KH2 is the ending kindof goes against kh tradition where most if not all the endings are (SPOILER)tear jerkers where the kh2 ending is the complete opposite which kindof upset me in a weird way. KH1 was phenomenal for its time and will rest as a classic to me for a long time.
Summary: Combat in kh2 is better in my opinion whereas the story of kh1 makes kh2 look like tetris.
