A boy named Sora teams up with Donald and Goofy to travel Disney worlds and fight the shadowy Heartless. Mixing Final Fantasy characters with Disney classics sounded absurd, and it became one of Square's biggest series.
Kit's verdict · 8.2/10
A charming, earnest crossover held back by a clumsy camera.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Disney worlds full of heart
- Fun real-time combat
- Gorgeous Yoko Shimomura music
Not so much
- Camera fights you constantly
- Gummi Ship sections are dull
Play it if anyone who grew up on Disney and Final Fantasy.
Skip it if players who need tight camera and platforming.
