I don't know why so many people are flaming it. It basically follows Sora, Donald, and Goofy through a very creepy place called Castle Oblivion. *Apparently* Riku and the King are there. (-koffkoff- Yes and no. There's actually TWO Rikus in this game, but I'm not going to say anything else. That's a huge spoiler right there, it is. ^.~) The Castle is controlled/owned/used by a group called The Organization. There's actually twelve members, but you only get to see about eight. Axel, Larxene, Vexen, Zexion, Marluxia (who, despite the girly name, is a guy. And Lord of the Castle.), Lexaeus, DiZ, and the hooded guy in the beginning, who is still unidentifiable. I personally think it's Larxene, but whatever. The Castle ALSO is controlled by cards and memories. It's only a little confusing at first, and the mysterious guy at the beginning does a way better job than me of explaining. Wanna attack with the (a, really. There's about sixteen different types of the buggers.) Keyblade? Use a card. Spells? Items? Same thing. Basically you're supposed to wander through different worlds of Sora's memory and kill members of the Organization/Heartless. Not that complicated, but then there's the other storyline with Sora's memories of Kairi being replaced by false memories of a girl called Namine.
It's a fun, dramatic (-I- think so), whacking-stuff-with-the-Keyblade game. And I didn't really get a lot of what was going on ('cos I didn't play Kingdom Hearts), but I had fun anyway. I give it 8.7/10... and a whack with the Keyblade for good measure.
(Oh, and if you beat the game as Sora, you unlock both the multiplayer aspect and Reverse/Rebirth, where you play as Riku and basically play the game in reverse from Riku's viewpoint. It'd be sweet, but I haven't beaten the game yet. ^^)
