And now, we leave the worst level in the game to go to the worst filler level in the game.This world is another example of how the game just blatantly copy/pastes the story of the movie, and jury-rigs Sora, Donald, and Goofy into the mix as Mary Sues that solve all of the problems.For that reason,...

From one of my favorite level, to what is easily my least favorite....It's amazing how quickly I can go from singing this game's praises to groaning at how bad it is. Atlantica is, if anything, a microcosm for all that is wrong with Kingdom Hearts 2.While easy and otherwise inoffensive, there's...

I love this world so MUCH!There's just so much to love here. If only it could last a little bit longer.

This is Hollow... CHRISTMAS!Please note that between the time we recorded this footage, and now, I have actually sat down to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time. When this was made, I had not seen the film.Someone in the Square Enix offices is obviously a huge fan of The...

Welcome to my personal hell.I hate this world with a blinding, fevered passion. If you want a preview of my big problems with Atlantica, you can read about it in my post from way back in the day.I touch on it here, but in truth we'll need to wait until we come back a few times before I can really...

We skip Timeless River in favor of Port Royal instead.When Sam and I talk about this game's tendency to just recycle the stories from the movies they source from, this world is one of the worst offenders. Not only is this the same exact story, but it's also the same shot more often than not. On top...

Witty intro setting up the episode you're about to watch."Interesting", long-winded discussion or critique of the material we covered in the episode. This could be anything from an elaboration of a point Sam or I made to a new avenue of discussion that only occurred to me when re-watching the video...

The filler never ceases!I feel like I'm grading on a curve for this plot. Sure, it's original, which makes it 10 times better than most of the Disney world stories in Kingdom Hearts 2. That said, there are too many little problems I have with it for me to think it's more than bland, uninteresting...

The priming continues as we explore the ramifications of Winnie the Pooh, and then travel to the depths of the underworld.Even during my first playthrough of Kingdom Hearts 2, despite how cool Auron is, I was checked out for most of the story parts of Olympus Colosseum. Frankly, I just didn't...

Welcome to the Beast's Castle, home of old friends and missed treasure chests.In lieu of making any meaningful commentary on Beast's Castle, I'm going to instead talk about a problem I have with RPGs.Many times in an RPGs, players will see treasure chests in the level while watching cutscenes. This...
