Until I think of some more gamer subjects, I will be creating another rave entry. This time it will be about another of my favorite games: Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts is another game by Square Enix, the makers of Final Fantasy. The story is actually a merge between Disney and Square Enix, which seems like a weird combination, but the pull it off very well. This means that the game has hundreds of cameos off of Disney movies and the Final Fantasy series.
Now about the story. It begins with a boy named Sora who is stuck in one of those "falling dreams". Suddenly he slows down and reaches the ground only to discover than he is on top of a massive tower ornated with stained glass. A voice calls out and later he discovers the he is "the one who will open the door to light". Suddenly these creatures appear from the shadows and attack, he finds a weapon and fends them off. Then he notices his shadow is larger than usual, and his shadow comes alive and becomes a massive dark monster, which he defeats, and wakes up.
He lives on the Destiny Islands, with his friends Riku and Kairi, who all three want to make a raft and sail for other worlds. On the day of the trip, the shadows appear again, and Riku and Kairi have disappeared, and he attains the Keyblade, a key-shaped sword able to defeat the shadows. Then Sora is sucked into a vortex and awakens in a new world. While this is happening, Donald and Goofy are sent on a mission by Mickey to find the "key" and follow its master to help restore the worlds destroyed by the shadows, known as "Heartless".
Sora meets Donald and Goofy after defeating a large Heartless and decide to travel together to different worlds in search of the "Ansem reports", a list of detailed experiments on the Heartless which may shed light on their weaknesses. So Sora, Donald, and Goofy set out on an adventure to save and restore the worlds that are left in the wake of the Heartless.
This game is a fun with a great storyline a gameplay. There's even a sequel on the GBA and the PS2. If anyone thinks that this one sounds interesting, I encourage you to play it, because you won't be disappointed.

I think you did a great job of summarizing the game, without giving too much away, yet still leaving someone wanting to play it. I personally have played and loved every moment of this game, and its sequels, but I know now that I would love to be playing as Sora. In the summary, you did a good job of putting a lot of information (because as you know, its a long game) into a small format. I thought this was well written, and you made valid points about the game. Coming from someone who has played this game several times, bravo.
