Storyline

Edit

Did you know

Edit

Trivia
Stitch was included because a survey said that Stitch was the second favorite Disney character in Japan.

Goofs
When Roxas sees Sora's memories in his dreams, he also sees scenes that Sora never witnessed, such as Jafar's line "The boy is a problem; he found one of the Keyholes" which was at Maleficent's council in Hollow Bastion. Sora was never present to hear Jafar say this line.

Quotes
Axel: [to Sora, about Roxas] He was the only one I liked. He made me feel... like I had a heart.

Crazy credits
After the credits are finished you see Sora, and Riku at their old hang out on Destiny Islands talking about how a whole lot has not changed. Then Kairi comes running with a bottle in her hand that has a note contained inside it. The note is from the king which is insinuating that he is asking for their help.

Alternate versions
While playing the Atlantica Rhythm mini-games in the Japanese version, the O button is used as a rhythm trigger a majority of the time. In the English version it's replaced with the X button.

Connections
Edited from The Lion King (1994)

Absolutely beautiful...

I love this game! As a huge fan of KH1,i must say that KH2 carries on the story perfectly. The graphics have improved, and i must say that i like the extended version of The nightmare before Christmas. It also has more songs from the movies, including Part of your world, and Beauty and the Beast (after you defeat Xaldin). I think Hailey Joel Osment is perfect as Sora, Christopher Lee is brilliant as Diz, and all the other voice overs are good as well. And there's more worlds too including the fabulous Pride Lands, and Mulan just to name a few. The only complaint i have is that you don't hear the Circle of life in the Pride lands. By the way the new characters are just as likable as the familiar ones.

All in all, this is my most favorite PS2 game and like KH1 it's a good game for Disney and FF lovers alike.
