You know, Jeremy is usually spot on with his Retro reviews, but his take on KH2? Way off.

Where the hell is my soapbox... ah there were are. *Climbs on*

KH2 took everything positive about the first game and enhanced it while simultaneously taking everything wrong with the first game and fixing it. Some people hate KH for whatever reason, and that all well and good. But even the haters have to admit that KH2 was an improvement in every way over the first game. Yet KH1 rates a ‘worth it’ and KH2 did not? That doesn’t even make sense.

Also, I'm sick of people crying about the 'mindless button-mashing combat' Is it simplistic? Sure. But what is wrong with that? How is pulling of awesome, acrobatic mid air moves, counter attacks, and dramatic, life saving turnarounds with minimal effort a bad thing? If I want to key in a specific sequence of buttons to pull of insane power move every single time I want to do it, well that’s what Devil May Cry, Heavenly Sword, and Ninja Gaiden are for. Or better yet, any given fighting game. KH is about looking cool with minimal effort, and that’s fine with me.
