Is this game going to tie into Kingdom Hearts 2 or is it just a side story?
I think that the game's story factors a little bit into KH2, but for some more info, you should go to [url=http://www.vgchat.com/showthread.php?t=7668]Kingdom Hearts 2 [Theories and Many Spoilers][/url] thread for a better idea.
Of course it ties into the game--it expains to why Sora changes etc. etc. Either way, it's like a toothpaste between two big teeth, i.e. KH I and KH II, as for the game itself, the battle system gets my kudos, but it just ... was missing some elements of an RPG that I consider the most basic of basic.
I myself like the game. And I'm pretty sure it does tie in. I like the game. I get addicted quickly. It's like pacman addicting.
KH:COM starts directly where Kingdom hearts left off, and KH2 starts directly where KH:COM left off, so if your a fan of KH, get this game! i really liked it (although Riku was a B*&%@)
I don't plan on playing the game. I just got my friend to tell me the whole story one day during study hall. So, I'm just waiting this summer to visually continue the story with KHII. Too busy to play it now.
COM is an important part of the story i mean there is definately things that happen in com that you wont ever hear about unless you play it. and it looks liek actualyl a fun game too. if you really dont want to play it.. there is a 3 hours video on google video of some one playing thru the entire game, so u egt to see all the talking, all the fights, all the story, all the cutscenes without the bs and spending like 20-30 hours beating it. i watched the video, but i think i may actually buy the game so i can experisence it. it could be a fun thing to do when im bored anyway.
Eh ... I thought it got boring fast. IMO. The gameplay didn't really change and I don't think I could play that long doing nothing but making rooms or fighting monsters.
