Alright, I'm not going to take credit for the idea of making a review of an entire series, but I am going to welcome it as a good idea and do one myself. I'll be reviewing the entire Kingdom Hearts series here, not for any particular reason, but just because I like writing these reviews.

This is a great review. I just never found the real appeal of Kingdom Hearts in my opinion. It just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea.

Y'know I was thinking about playing the kingdom hearts series but I never actually got to doing it. Now I have a reason.

Good review Jwolfe. Now I have many good reasons to get the game.

It's been a while since this was edited, so I added the Chain of Memories section.

I don't understand how Birth by Sleep's story gets a 10/10 since you just said you didn't like 2 of the 3 characters you play as. That should at least knock it down to an 8.5.

Personally, I find Terra the least interesting, and I don't even know why you would say that Ventus being the same as Roxas is unoriginal within the context of the series, because the story kind of necessitates that Ventus is very similar to Roxas. You've played the other games in the series, so you should get that, if you've been paying attention. I don't really qualify using something again for plot reasons as a lack of originality, especially considering that this is supposed to be a prequel. It'd be like complaining about Zack being in FFVII prequels.

Either way, I personally didn't particularly like BBS very much. I don't know if it was the choice of worlds, or that Aqua is kind of boring, and that the other two are pretty cliche, but I felt it wasn't as good as it could have been. Gameplay was pretty fun, though. I will admit that.

Also, Mitch, you don't have to like all, or even most, of the characters to like the story in a game. Not liking the characters certainly doesn't make you like the story better, but it's not really a necessity.

The thing is that those were major characters Jwolfe was talking about, I don't see how not liking someone you have to deal with for a large portion of the game doesn't knock the score down at all.

In FFVIII, I only liked 3 or 4 characters in the whole game. I still really love the story. So, like I said, whether or not you like the characters doesn't necessarily have to impact how much you like a story, which also means it shouldn't affect a score unless you personally feel it ruined the story for you.

Gotta say, i enjoyed all of them so far, but i'll agree that 368/2 and CoM were the weak ones, though some of my thoughts on CoM was changed when the Re:CoM for PS2 came out, like the size of the field you could move on (Never beat Riku 3 in the GBA even after grinding to holy heck and back)
