<<How's the game?>>
Kingdom Hearts is just your typical Disney action game - bad camera angles, horrible controls, awful gameplay.
<<It is difficult?>>
Somewhat difficult - but that's mainly because of the horrible controls and bad camera angles.
<<How are the cinemas?>>
Outdated FMV techniques - not suitable for a Disney game IMO. The cutscenes aren't that impressive either - boring camera angles. Get a load of Xenosaga if you really want a taste of the best cinematics (and cinematic music score) ever to embrace a videogame.
<<And who are the playable characters?>>
Sora. And only Sora. The others are just computer-controlled NPCs.
<< I'd love to give this a try. Maybe this'll restore my interest in my once-loved Disney.>>
Why invest in companies (namely Square and Disney) that already have an empire and more than enough money? Monolith Software needs your support even more LOL
I'd give Kingdom Hearts a 7-8. It's fun, and there's something charismatic about seeing SD-Squall fighting Maleficent with Goofy and Donald casting magic while Sora summons Simba, yet you'd be better off with something else instead if you're a hardcore gamer.
That's just my 2 cents. And no flames, thank you.
I completely disagree. (no flame intended)
It's a very enjoyable action RPG. I haven't had this much fun with ARPG since the N64 Zelda.
The game play is similar to Zelda, but with AI controlled party members. The battles are easy to learn, and intuitive. It gives you a good sense of "I'm kicking ass" feel with fast paced battles and abundant rewards. It's nice to demolish a half a dozen enemies in seconds, and end up with literally hundreds of prizes littered all over the floor. :)
The game is, IMO, very easy. If you're used to command-type turn based RPGs, you might need to adjust a bit, but I sense that most players on this board are good action game (especially fighting game) players, so I don't think you will have any problems.
The only problem I found with the game was, as doremifaso said, is the camera angle.
There were many times when the camera angle would jerk around, or refuse to face front, and have hard time performing platform jumps. However, by changing the camera to "manual" instead of "auto" will help some of the problems, but not all.
The story unfolds in Final Fantasy style, but the characters and the world are mostly Disney. FF characters only make minor guest apperanaces, and focus is much more heavily on the Disney characters.
There are many side-quests and secrets to uncover, and completing some of them will reward you with items, powerups, and more.
There's a hidden ending to this game with beautiful cinema, that can only be unlocked by finishing most of the side-quests. I won't tell you what it's about, but I do have to say it's a must see. :)

I'm wasting too much time playing with the
Gummi ship and finding those dogs :p
I couldn't figure out the gummi ship configuration at all. Fortunately, the shooting game part is extremely easy, so it's not at all necessary to upgrade your ship. Thank god... I woulda been lost. (^^;
I'm sure it's a lot of fun customizing your own ship, but to me, the gummi parts meant nothing.
The dalmations were rewarding though!
If you press the triangle button at the 101 dalmation section of Jiminie's note book, you can see which dalmations are missing, and where they are.
It was very nice of Square to put that help in, since a lot of kids will be playing this game, and they wouldn't be forced to buy a strategy guide to find them :)
Oh, the dalmation completion is one of the key to unlocking the hidden ending. Good luck on your search, Holiday!
There's no way budget wise the English version will be voiced by all the original voice actors. I'm sure the voice actresses for Alice and Maleficient are too old to play the roles again anyways :)
They will probably get the TV version voices for the Jinnie and such. I doubt Robin Williams will be back to play the role.
Oh, btw, the Japanese Donald Duck sounds just like... well, a Japanese Donald Duck. :) It's incredible how well it's done.
