Ok My brother gave me a PS2 for my birth day and the game Kingdom Hearts.I started to play it and it was good at frist but when I to where the story real picks up it's just dum and didn't make alot of since.Should I just sell it and get a nother game?

[Linkizcool]

Whatever you want, lol! Get SW battlefront II.

[shadus]

Well I don't realy know what that is but any good RPG's that's not a FF?

[DragonBlaze]

Get Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, it was my favorite RPG on the PS2.

I'd at least play through Kingdom Hearts before selling it. I never played it, but if you bought it, you might as well play through the whole thing, it may get better.

[shadus]

I've heard of that.What's it about?

It's a pretty good game. The battles aren't turn-based. Instead, your party and the enemies move around the battlefield and fight in real-time. You control one character while the AI controls the other two. I had a lot of fun with the game, but I like Star Ocean 2 a lot better.

As for the story, I won't try to ruin much... but basically you are in a spaceship that gets attacked by enemy forces, and they kidnap your parents and you end up stranded on a strange planet. Sounds bad, but it picks up a bit. Not an amazing story, but it's not bad.

Heres a description of the game from IGN

For four hundred peaceful years, humans and aliens have co-existed thanks to the influence of the Pangalactic Federation until one day without warning; the planet Hyda IV is attacked by an unknown superpower. Vacationing college student Fayt Leingod and best friend Sophia Esteed are soon forced into a series of events that sends them on a quest to save their loved ones and solve the mystery of who attacked them and why. Boasting more than 80-hours of gameplay and a highly strategic real-time battle system, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is known best as one of the first RPGs ever announced for the PlayStation 2. And as an added bonus for American gamers, Star Ocean 3 contains all the same content and goodies previously available in the Japanese-only Director's Cut version.

Anyway, I thought the game was really good. The story was highly unpredictable and had some MAJOR plot twists. And even though it has a futuristic time setting, about half the game occurs in a medival setting. The battle system is by far my favorite rpg battle system with real time fighting. The graphics are really good. The voice actors actually did a good job.

The only things I didn't like about it was the last boss and there was this event that dealt with the main character, but being as big as it was, I don't think they tied it to the end of the game well enough.

Anyway, I give the game a 9/10

The battle system sounds like KH for what I played.In KH The other party members aren't much of a help becuase they die a lot.How are the Party members in star ocean?

[VulcanRaven336]

Kingdom hearts was an alright game, I liked it. But screw these little kids games, GET MANHUNT! by rockstar, pretty good game, or Killzone, it's like a war game, it's pretty good.

[shadus]

Well at frist I was going to get Navy Seals 2 but then I saw KH and I've heard that it was one of the better games on the PS2.So I got that.

How are the Party members in star ocean?

They're actually pretty good, you can set up their battle stratagies, their formation, and what moves they use. You can also swich back and forth between characters really fast and change their stratagies on the fly.

[shadus]

Sounds good.Any other good games out there?

[Prpl_Mage]

I donīt understand why you say the story in KH is dum...I think itīs great.

But at least play through KH before you sell it.

And yes Star Ocean(3) til the end of time is a good game, but it got kinda wierd after some special events...

And for other rpgs...I see alot of good onces at game stores but i can never remember the name... Just go there and look around.

[shadus]

Ruin KH plot for me won't you.Becuase it's just plain dum after you leave the island.

It sucks! Donīt buy it! It has an excelent battle system and marvelous graphics, but the storyline s.u.c.k.s! Buy Radiata Stories, Suikoden 3, Shadow Hearts, Wild Arms 3, Front Mission 4...leave Star Ocean for when youīre bored and has no other RPG to play. OR buy PS1 Star Ocean: The 2nd Story and that one rules all...
