A few weeks ago I figured I’d pick up a new video game to play since I had just had some elbow surgery done and would be sidelined from doing much for quite a bit of time. A new Kingdom Hearts game was just recently released for the 3DS which would be preferable for me to play since I’m in some bionic looking arm brace for much too long.
Not only did it seem like something entertaining to play, but Target was also offering a $10 gift card if you bought it that week. That was a deal that I just couldn’t pass up (I’ve become such a frugal shopper) and I picked it up on a lunch break.
The Kingdom Hearts games are pretty unique in that they feature characters from Disney and Square. A strange combination on paper, but it does work and work well.
The Fantasia and Tron levels were especially impressive to me. The music, graphics and atmosphere were all very well done. While Fantasia may’ve put me to sleep the last time I tried to watch it, playing an entire world of it was pretty cool. The boss fight again Chernabog (arguably Disney’s most evil character ever) was amazing. He was always a favorite growing up and used to spook me a lot. Some great stuff going on there.
While I was a bit confused early on in the game, once I figured the whole game play out it was very cool and took up a good deal of my downtime (which is a bit more than usual). Great game and a fine purchase.
