*stumbles onto thread* What the hell is this?

Well its truly unusual to see a major game critic badmouth VII and IV while praising IX (I only remeber one magazine giving IX a positive review and that was GameFan). I consider most of his thoughts to be irrelevant. VII is not nearly as bad as he makes it out to be though I agree it has not aged well... Overall, he did it to get attention.

As for KHII, I disagree that from a gameplay perspective its a downgrade from the first. I think its gameplay is its strong point. Its story is a disaster making little sense, dropping the ball on many key moments, and filled with so many pointless convulated plot twists (or plot holes) it can only be a Nojima script... Story wise, KH2 killed all interest I had in the series. Thank you Nojima for taking my smile away again...
