Though I slogged through Chain of Memories anyways
I loved KH BUT:
The camera system sucked. One of the worst(tha I've experienced) this gen. Made me very nauseous.
The combat system was shallow.
The Gummi ship section were unbearable and pointless.
If these three problems didn't exist it would have been one of the best game this gen; I loved the story, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous and I loved the music.

Aww crap, what the hell is up with the KH haters? Look, it was a great blending of two giant franchises that at first made everyone go "huh?" and i'm guessing "some" people just couldn't get over that inital shock. I suppose if you hold either, or even better both, of these franchises with high regards then the game was automatically very enduring to you. And though nothing can be really proven on the internet I am positive alot of the hate for this game starts with people disliking one or both of the franchises involved. Top quality animation, top quality graphics and a great soundtrack mixed with classic Disney tunes and new score. Despite some people having issues with the voice actors on a personal level, top quality voice acting and actually bringing back some original Disney voices.
I also think the hate for the gameplay and camera is a bit overrated. I have played many, many games that have much worse controls and camera. Hopefully what I have heard is true and the controls and camera have been tweaked. The AI was questionable sometimes but overall I think the way they worked the combat, magic and controlling two AI partners at the same time was admirable.

Agreed, I think it's got pretty standard ARPG gameplay (with an admittedly wonky camera)with AI partners, actually it's a spiritual successor to Secret of Mana gameplay wise. Despite all the talk about the Gummi Ship it really isn't a huge part of the game, eventually you barely use it. Obviously if you don't like Disney you're not going to like it but for people who do, or are even indifferent to it, the game's presentation and fantastic soundtrack make for a great experience IMO.

For the record, I played FFX way more than KH.
note1 : I'm not a big fan of RPG (though I play some SNES classic like FF3/chrono/...)
note2 : I didn't like FFX

Eh. I don't like 90% of Disney movies and FFIX is the only Playstation FF I cared for at all, but I had a a lot of fun with Kingdom Hearts. Had no problems with the camera and I really liked the battle system. Gummi Ship stuff did suck, but it's not like it was a huge part of the game. Different strokes, I guess. (lol strokes, guess I really am gay for disney lol)

Actually I was expecting to like it way more than FFX since it's a ARPG but I end up liking it even less than FFX. That's my point.

No one is busting on the concept or the visuals. In fact, that's KH's high point. It's low points include actually playing the game, the battle system, it's camera, and the disgustingly stupid level design for the worlds. I sure we've all played games with much worse controls and camera, but that doesn't excuse KH's shitty controls, camera, and gameplay either. In fact, it makes the game worse since playing it can't come close to the experience of looking at it. It doesn't match, and that's a shame.
Hopefully KH2 fixes things.
eLGee said:Fixed, and from what I've been hearing, S-E has fixed the camera to perfection, and are jazzing up the Gummi-ship section for KH2 (yes, they are doing Gummi-ships again.) It'll be harder, better, faster, stronger. Cue Ninja:
That is good news(the camera part) More Gummi ship madness?
I wonder if KHII will outsell KH.
KH was awesome the first time around, but I admit I noticed a lot of problems the second time around. Still a pretty good game to play, and the story, visuals, and presentation were all top-notch.
KH2 looks like it's going to make KH old news though. All doubts were eviscerated once I saw the gummi ship sequences in the latest trailer. If they can fix THAT aspect and make it look fun in a 10-second clip, I have hope for the rest of the game.
