Not a lot of story, very charming. It's kind of a puzzle game, light action game. It loves its minimalism and style. Just watch out for the girl and keep an eye on the shadow buggers and enjoy. I don't recall getting stuck very frequently, if ever. So if I ever was stuck I don't think it took all that long for me to figure out. And the save system is very cute, if you don't like anything else about the game, I have a feeling you will find that adorable

Are you going retro and playing it on PS2 or getting the new one on PS3? I've been super tempted for a long time to get the PS3 re-release. Still want it pretty badly. Someday. And then I'll replay it. But as it is, I haven't touched the game since I beat it after it first came out. So it's been years. So I can't really help out on any specific situation or anything. I just have fond memories. Don't be too nervous. It's just a game where it's fun to walk around as a couple of kids and explore the beautiful scenery, and every once in a while you have to whack away shadow things from Kingdom Hearts with a little wooden stick :P
