Abstract: Get ready for an explosive, action-packed addition to the Kingdom Hearts series by Square Enix games. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. A long-awaited prequel to the Kingdom Hearts series, definitely gives you a bit more insight into the other two stor...
Abstract: Clamoring for Kingdom Hearts 3? Well you’ll have to hold onto your britches for just a little longer as Square Enix teases its fans with Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep for the PSP, a prequel that follows the latest trend and keeps the series appearing...
Graphics are PS2 quality, Command Board board game mini-game, new Disney worlds appear, actually 3 games in one, secret ending to unlock, wonderful voice acting for the most part, new battle system, crown stickers to collect, extra boss added for US release, secret ending to obtain, four difficulty levels, can have D.Links with friends via ad-hoc wifi and there are four multiplayer modes.
Install is pretty much mandatory, game can still lag and have some annoying load times with the largest install option, can only play through one story at a time, only one Square Enix character (Zack from FFVII) appears and only available on UMD.
Abstract: Kingdom Hearts has gone nearly five years now without a console iteration. The portable titles, like Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days have attempted to change or imitate the main series, though both felt more like little siblings than true successors. ...
Production values are through the roof; combat’s packed full of options yet remains surprisingly fluid; leveling up and merging abilities is compulsively addictive.
The game’s mix of mashheavy battles and dodgeheavy boss fights quickly becomes repetitive; terrible dialog; voice acting that ranges from mediocre to horrible; the story’s all at once derivative and nighincomprehensible.
Combat is fun and flashy, and it evolves as you play, Boss fights put a fun spin on Disney characters and sets, Great visuals capture the spirit of the source material, Multiplayer arenas are entertaining, Goodsized campaign.
Camera can be a nuisance, A lot of repetition, from environments to music, Terra's voice acting is abysmal, Long load times and frame rate drops.
This prequel is another fun and pleasant mash-up of Final Fantasy sensibilities and Disney tales. ...
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has the best battle system in the series and one of the most ambitious storytelling devices yet; the game's few issues aren't enough to spoil the fun. With three characters to choose from, plenty of fun mini-games and a r...

While it's beautiful to behold, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep suffers from repetitive design, frustrating boss fights, and a badly executed storyline. It's a shame because its many flashes of brilliance seemed to hint at a title that could have been the...
Terrific character models, particle effects and cut-scenes. Simple combat system on the surface but with an unbelievable variety of commands to keep things interesting.
The camera gets confused in closed areas, and so does the targeting system. Typical bland Kingdom Hearts arenas.
