Just because it's Disney and Square doesn't just automatically make it universally appealing
If you're refering to me, I don't recall myself saying that. Yes, I know this game doesn't appeal to everybody. And yes, I'm quite aware that there are people that like this game that don't have anything against Disney or Square Enix for that matter, just that it isn't their cup of tea. Hell, I love the game, but felt KH2 and KH1 lacked a lot of things. In the sequel, it's a hit and miss. It improves a lot of things that were wrong in the first game.

Button mashing, well, sorry, but it's equally bad in both games (never understood why some debate which is worse). However, in KH2, the character Sora gets shiny and bright abilities that cause him all sorts of things even if some fancy abilities were removed from the first game. But yeah, the rest of the criticisms are half right, anyways.
