What Makes Kingdom Hearts 2 the Best Kingdom Hearts Game?

Even though we have a total of 13 Kingdom Hearts games on multiple platforms that we can play, every Kingdom Hearts fan would agree that the best one out of them all is Kingdom Hearts 2, the undisputed champion. There are a lot of things that give the game far superiority over the other parts. If you have a PlayStation 5, you can play the game if you purchase and download Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 reMIX.

To download it as soon as possible, you need to make sure you have access to a high-speed internet connection that can help you download it quickly. For that matter, you should consider getting Xfinity Internet since it is the perfect choice for downloading and installing games.

Once that is out of the way, you can enjoy playing the initial Kingdom Hearts games to see where the story begins. However, in today’s article we will be talking about Kingdom Hearts 2 in particular and what gives it superiority over all the other games. So make sure that you read all the way to the end of the article!

The Fluid Mechanics

One thing that makes Kingdom Hearts 2 is the fluid mechanics that make the game quite the experience to play. Kingdom Hearts itself was to the point and the camera angles weren’t as appealing as we would want them to be. Kingdom Hearts 3 just made Sora a lot more floaty and he just seemed like he was floating around.

However, with Kingdom Hearts 2 Square Enix managed to hit the sweet spot when it comes to the movement of the characters. This made combat quite a thrilling experience in the game and we remember that we were mesmerized when we played the game for the first time back in 2006.

A Really Good Story

Kingdom Hearts 2 had a very intriguing storyline. We can’t get over how they started the game off with Roxas and gave us a little perspective of the character. Just as we were getting accustomed to the character, they made a switch to Sora and that is one sequence that we can never forget. The game not only established a connection with Sora but also made a connection between the player and Roxas.

In this game, Sora is still looking for his best friends Riku and Kairi after all three of them were separated from their Island in the events of the first game. Sora continues his journey with Donald and Goofy as he searches for his friends.

Additional Battles in the Game

The game also gave you a lot to do after you were done with the main story of the game. For instance, if you explore the Cavern of Remembrance, you find a room where you can access “Data Battles” where you can fight data versions of all the Organization XIII members. Similarly, you can also fight the Lingering Will after you are done with the story. Remember that is boss has to be among the most difficult among all the Kingdom Hearts boss battles, so be prepared.

You may also max out Sora’s stats and you can do the final battle over and over again, the choice is yours. Remember that it would be the experience of a lifetime if you manage to get a Platinum trophy for the game. You will have to put in a lot of effort but it will be worth it!

The Introduction of Drive Forms in the Game

Kingdom Hearts 2 was the first game to introduce certain aspects that made Sora even more powerful. They did so with the introduction of Drive Forms which would make use of his party members Donald and Goofy.

These forms included Valor form for a boost in strength and this utilized Goofy. The next form is the Wisdom form which gave Sora a boost in magic and made use of Donald. Then you get Limit Form which allows Sora to go back into his Kingdom Hearts 1 attire and you can use attacks such as Ars Arcanum and Sonic Blade just like in the first game. Then you get Master Form which utilizes both party members and then Final Form which utilizes both of them as well. Limit, Master, and Final use both Donald and Goofy.

Once you level up each of these forms, you get a special ability for Sora even when he isn’t in his drive form. These abilities include High Jump from Valor form, Quick Run from Wisdom Form, Dodge Roll from Limit Form, Aerial Dodge (double jump from Master Form), and Glide from Final Form. There is also another form that appears randomly called Anti Form which turns Sora into a heartless kind of creature and makes the keyblade disappear as well. You can’t cast magic, glide, or recover HP while in this form but remember that Sora will attack relentlessly in it.

Conclusive Note

Kingdom Hearts 2 is the kind of game that you cannot miss out on. You should play it at least once in your life because we have grown up playing it and we can easily say that it is the kind of game that will change your life for the better. It will also teach you what the importance of friendship is.
