Good little game!
I like KH, I'll admit, but when I heard about this game I was a little iffy about whether it would be good considering previous card battle games weren't all that great. And I didn't have an SP, but it gave me good reason to get one! I had my thoughts that the card battle system would be tedious, but it actually allows for freedom for the player to utilize Sora however they want. The system isn't that difficult to learn, either. My seven year old cousin picked it up and understood it rather quickly. Beyond that, the story was good and a good lead-up to the second PS2 installment of the franchise. I actually have no big complaints about the game other than Riku. When you beat Sora's game you can play as Riku and he gets frustrating as you can't customize him like you can Sora, which forces you to think a little more. Otherwise, this is a solid game for the SP!

Challenging, but fun.
Card-battling takes a while to get used to, but most will get the hang of it in a short time. This game is fun, addictive, and best of all, challenging, but not overly so. My only dislike about this game is how the cut-scenes (dialogue, etc.) are very lengthy and full of fluff. Otherwise, this is a great game.

Worst Kingdom Hearts, but still relatively good.
Please, for the love of god, don't base your understanding of kingdom hearts on this game. I didn't enjoy it that much other than the great story line. It really is not that fun, but I absolutely LOVE the kingdom hearts games. If you're going to play this game, make sure you play the first one before you do. I personally hope Kingdom Hearts is going to continue going in the direction it started going with Kingdom Hearts II. I liked the first one a little better, but I like the T elements that were introduced. The second one definitly should have been rated T, but this one is right in it's E rating. There is almost nothing bad in this game as far as violence, just little card battles. There is only one swear word. The story may be a little more mature, but there's not problem with allowing your 9 year olds play this game. Just make sure they play the first one before they do.

Perfectly appropriate for kids, but more people than kids will enjoy it.
This is a very entertaining game, and this series is one of the most original things I've ever seen. There's nothing negative worth mentioning; there's some mild fantasy violence and very infrequent use of the mildest language. It's appropriate for everyone, but ages under six probably wouldn't grasp the concept of the game or be able to read some of the words used in game text. I would argue that some aspects are educational, with the game requiring reading skills as well as effective strategy and problem-solving skills. The game values friendship and respect for life, as well as displaying many positive role models. The game is fairly easy to play, as well, granted that you are old enough to have developed some basic reasoning skills. The game is also one of the few E-rated games that I will actually still play.
