Is this game and 'KHII' for kids only?

It's not really frightening, but it is slightly darker than most of Disney's other stuff. The Heartless, the main enemy in the game, are more goofy than anything else, yet somehow they managed to make the game dark without making it scary. Granted, it is Disney, so there's plenty of humor and positivity throughout the story. It's more like the old days of Disney when they had the guts to kill off Bambi's mother. Basically it's aimed at kids, but takes them much more seriously than most other entertainment works aimed at this demographic nowadays. Thus, it's also enjoyable for adults, also thanks to the many classic Disney and character films that are covered. I'm 19 and I love this game.

Seriously, I wouldn't let the fact that it's Disney put you off. Kingdom Hearts strikes a great balance between maturity and "kid-friendliness".

I think Dutch said it perfectly, so I don't have much else to add except that I'll be 18 in about two days, and I still love this game to this day. It's a lot of fun, and has the right amount of silliness and seriousness throughout. Also, they sort of give their own twist to the classic Disney movies, but the characters are still the same lovable Disney characters we all know and love, and the game does give justice to them despite changing things up a little so things will flow more with the plot of the game. And yes, Donald is one of those said characters, and his "fits of fury" are not ignored and he is given a lot of screen time to show them. Even when he shoots his spells/gets hit he makes that funny "quack scream", lol.

a girl's like a fridge, once a week you should stalk it.

lol i'm almost 23. i've been playing it since it came out & i still love it. it's not super hard but it's definitely fun! you can always google a walkthrough to use the first time.

I wouldn't say it's particularly kid-oriented because it's an RPG. If a really young child wanted to play it you'd have to explain experience points, leveling up, and customizing upgrades. Granted, it's not hard stuff to pick up, but there is a learning curve and it takes some adjusting.

It's a fun game though. There's nothing really dark about it that I can remember (it's been years since I've played through it, though) except scenes of people losing their 'hearts' (which in KH is like one's soul I think).

This for me this fits perfectly into the all ages category.

Kingdom Hearts= A really entertaining adventure game (albeit severely overrated) with a whole lot of charm and some sights that will bring you back to your childhood.

Kingdom Hearts II= A linear and dull game with a retardedly low difficulty level, introduction of extremely boring characters, and a nonsensical plot.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
