I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts, because I’m a PC gamer and this series is usually just on Playstations. But Kingdom Hearts 3 is pretty surreal-looking. And fun! It doesn’t look fun enough for me to shell out four hundred bucks for a gaming platform that I won’t use, but it looks like fun.
Out on December 27th.

2018. I will believe it when I see it.
I have played the KH games. As games, the console versions are great fun, and the PSP version was good as well. The DS versions less so. But that’s just gameplay. For the story, well, what’s going on after the first game is, shall we say, “messy.” I can tell you what you’re doing at any given time, but why? I’m at a loss, and I’m someone who can tell you the difference between Inhumans, Mutants, Eternals and Deviants.

But it’s been 13 years since KH2. KH3 needs to be spectacular at this point.
I played the first game, and some of the second. It’s fun. The series uses the basic idea behind Super Robot Wars (i.e. take all the giant robots from the various popular giant robot series, and have them all fight alongside each other against a common enemy), but uses Square-Enix and Disney characters instead.
And then it mixes in some weird story involving the Heartless… and things got even weirder in the second game, but I didn’t finish it.
Also, you don’t actually get to play as most of those characters, iirc. My recollection is that I only got to play as Goofy, Donald, and Sora (the original character created for the first game). So you can’t create a team composed of Jack Sparrow, Buzz Lightyear, and Tron. Which is too bad, because that would be really, really, really cool.
