	[quote name="Jhoh Cable o_O"][quote name="KEK"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]Bruce Willis would have broken into tears by paragraph 7. Perhaps he changes his mind at the end of the review, but its worth noting that the whole review seems to be going from the premise that it was the execution of the games that's flawed, not the concept itself.[/quote] [quote]Could a good Kingdom Hearts game be made? Absolutely. You can make an enthralling game about two US soldiers in World War II outwitting a German squad by dressing up in a two-piece horse costume, if you’re sure to keep the design tight and not patronize and/or shudderingly fear the audience. That’s what Kingdom Hearts II does; it’s so scared out of its wits that one of the glue-sniffing fanfic-writers out there is going to find an error in the horizontal variable of Captain Jack Sparrow’s swagger, and then start up an internet petition about it, that it forgets to make an actual game to surround the character fetishism, to make the skies above the varied worlds feel like more than blue-painted shoebox lids. And for fuck’s sake, can someone teach game designers how to stage a cut-scene? Why must there be five seconds of silence between every two lines of dialogue? Why does the camera rotate around and around the characters, slowly, as they speak their lines? Because it can? Quite frankly, it’s getting embarrassing, and it’s only going to get more embarrassing, because so many people — even me — find this badness appalling and hilarious at the same time, and we keep paying for the games just to point our fingers, or, shudder, to actually enjoy ourselves in some way that doesn’t involve anger.[/quote][/quote] This doesn't seem to answer the question. It's making fun of fans and shit (which is nice), then it says the execution is bad. So......... no? Or wait, what was the question? I just consider that to be a bunch of thoughts on the game sucking, without adding up to a real final score.[/quote]
