Review of KH2 *just once through the game without secret ending* (SPOILERS IN REVIEW! INCLUDING WHAT I KNOW OF THE SECRET MOVIE! ) Read at your own risk!
The wait finally was over. The nerve wrecking wait. I can now give a review of it but keep in mind I still need to do 100%.

Game Engine: The controls were upgraded though I perfer the camera controls how they were but it's not a problem. I enjoy the addition of limits. A team up move with any character. Also the Drive, being able to fuse with your partner is a interesting twist on the game. Reaction command are awsome, especially in the end of the game were Sora & Riku cut through buildings.

Sound: The music was a step up from the original game. Sanctuary is awsome. The voice acting was on par with the first game. I was surprised that the were able to get the guy who did Auron in FFX to play him for KHII. One thing confuses me though, why didn't Haley Joel Osment play both Sora & Roxas? If they were one in the same the should at least have similar voices like Xehanort & Xemnas.

Story: This did not dissapoint. It explained the secret movie from KH(& FM) perfectly. Even referenced the "Thank Namine" note. And referenced the Xemnas battle in Final Mix (not to mention showed 2 seconds of footage) with "I went to go see him. He looked alot like you.".
Anyways back on track: The Disney sub-plot was better this time around because it happend simotaniously with the Oranization XIII plot. Oraginazation XIII was a great group of villains, especailly because they've been there since the first game but this time they get the attention. One problem is that they didn't give each member equal screen time to a certain level. And they were vaige about the fact Saix & Xemnas wanted Kingdom Hearts to become godlike, not just to become complete beings.

Forshadowings: I'm pointing out the things you may not have caught onto yet if you have beaten it already. This is all from the last level: Xigbar brings up "other keybladers" meaning more than the past keybladers or the ones we know. Xemnas said he never felt any other feeling than anger or rage. And also remember Xemnas in that armor?

SERCRET MOVIE:*Warning*
The knights and keyblades leaves some questions to be answered. but I know for a fact they are not anyone we know. And they have a connection to Xehanort.

This is my incomplete review but I give the game right now a 10/10 because of how much I like this game. Just hope Proud mode doesnt tick me off too much..
