It is broken. It nearly plays with one button (smash smash smash) and the two universes, the universes of Disney and the universe of the guys in shorts, mix baddly.
I hate disney, hate hate hate hate, but the Disney part of the game is really well made. Some of the best Disney characters are here (the best villain ever made in an anime is here, and it's a Disney character) and some of the worst too (I gess it depends on everybody's tastes, but Peter Pan is.... not my favorite character). On the other hand, the square characters are ridiculous (a Tiffa clone, a stupid-hero and a generic hero-s-best-friend-who-will-you-know-what) and the hero has a short. And, worst of it, he is not alone.
The funny thing is that the Disney characters moove exactly the same way they did on screen. The Square characters moove like Square characters, in other words, they moove all right, but when The Best villain Ever Made talks closely to a Square character, not only their looks but their way of mooving are completely different and mix really, really bad.
So, the universe doesn't work great. The Square characters shouldn't be there since there is no Square universe to help them feel at home, and when you are stuck in a Disney Universe you don't like, it's awfull.
The game in itself is a great game... for kids. I don't think it worth the price Square sells it, but on second hand or on location, it worthes a try, at least to see it once (and especially the almighty

Thanks Iggy.
I was afraid that the gameplay would turn that way from what i saw on the videos, didnt seem too solid (not to mention some of the camera movements.)
Hopefully when they make KH2 there will be a "Square World." I dont know, maybe you could visit The Golden Saucer, Shinra, SEED HQ, maybe some of the towns in ff9 (which i dont understand why they didnt include any characters from there, if any of the square games has a Disney storybook like look, is ff9. Not a bad thing, i liked that game a lot.)
Meh i'll reserve it anyway. Plus I wanna see SEPHIROOOOTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

None that I know off, but I'd love it if they added in some Pixar bad guys..Or better yet, a whole Fantasia level based on the Sorcerors apprentice (imagine, fighting giant brooms with the classical music playing in the BG...)
mmmm Fantasia level... (God I want a Kindgom Hearts 2 >_< Square barely stratched the surface with KH1)

Chances are the VA for Kim Possible has done some other misc Disney VA, or she got a role in the game cause of her work on the series. Series looks to new for a cameo in this game..(and if they were going with Disney TV series I'd want Gargyles, or Darkwing duck myself...:)
Actually the only other work for Dinsey she's done besides voicing Kim Possible is she was in "Even Stevens"...
I doubt she'd be Kim just since were would they put her? Middleton would make a sh*tty new level so obvious she's not in... it's my guess she's Selphie (Sophi? the Nunchuck/jump rope girl... I'm afraid I don't know enough about Square to know her name's spelling)

Haven't seen more info on the other two bosses... what's Kim Possible?
Kim Possible (it's both the title and the main character's name! Kim's voiced by Christy Romano) is a show on the Disney channel about a teenage girl who is also a "secret agent" (well not really, a "secret agent" but she does that sort of stuff) her sidekicks are Ron Stopable (voiced by the guy who plays Terry in Batman Beyound and Eric on 'Boy Meets World', Will Friedle) and his naked mole rat Rufus (voiced by Nacy Cartwright) They fight villians, and strangely Kim's family and friends know she goes on amazing adventures (didn't kids in cartoons used to hide that kind of stuff? and be all "I'm going to study!" and be really off to Brazil?) so they have a "normal life" plot to go along with the "adventure" one, which sometimes works out great and other times is hideously painful.
The main draw of the show aside from it being sort of funny (Kim's boardline annoying at times, the show mainly rest on Ron's antics) is it's art style... it's sort of an "evolution" on the look of "Clerks:the Animated Series" (it's from the same animation director... which if you never saw, is sort of has like an animated Penny Arcade-ish look)it however tries more style then C:TAS, such as using soft-color lines on Kim's hair/Rufus and uses more curves in it's design compared to Clerks very angular look.
It airs on Disney Channel Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 6:30pm... and starting tomorrow 2 episodes are shown at 11am on ABC Saturday morning.

The director of KH is the designer of FF7, 8 and 10, so he only used characters he designed. A REAL Square festival with minor characters like Musashi, any Sa.Ga character, any Seiken Densetsu or Rudora or FF6 character would be really great, but it would have to be more "mature" in term of gameplay (smash smash smash).
And especially the hero have to wear something else than a short.
But since, if they make a KH2, they will keep the same director, this won't happen. crap.

Oh, thanks for the info! I don't get the Disney Channel on my cable tv provider, that's why I didn't knew.

OH and whats with the roasted duck corpses on your tag? is it related to the smoking crazy dog?
Yes, I would love to see that girl from Chrono Cross too... the one with that piero make up... blah, forgot everything about her.
The ducks come from a magnificent manga, Ahiru no Oujisama (the prince of ducks) from Morinaga Ai. it's about the most ugly guy in universe (the author is a genious when she draws ugly people) that becomes magically one day a typicall shojo manga hero (with the stars in the eyes and everything) but inside, he's still the same stupid little nerd. It's very cruel, and very, very funny, as everything the autor makes. For instance, she made Strawberrychan no Kareina Seikatsu (the gorgeous life of Strawberrychan), it's like Gainax's Ebichu but more cruel (and 5 years before Ebichu).
And I know, I should have edited the pic to make it look better, but I'm too lazy.

I sort of agree that it would be really great with some of the minor characters from other games. Square's done very many works, some of them are really decent. <is being modest> Taking some characters that would be hard to identify without being a hard core fan would be sort of nice. But it's also right that the game play would have to be a bit more mature. Of course... I wouldn't mind such. ^_^;

For what I've heard of a japan friend there is a kingdom heart 2 but without disney.
It seems that the disney ceast have only success in US in japan they've bought the game because it comes from square and many board I've see just burn up disney for there presence in it (US,japan, and eropean board)
IMO this game have only selled well because of Square, I've played it and I think Nomura have created the best characters for now and they meet the stupidest ones......
So far many rumor (I know just rumor...) says that Square are taking their characters back and that KH2 will be a Square only cross over.
A final word for me: If disney what some game they have disney interactive for that even if they weren't as good as Square.
They don't have to put their opinion in other company, a cross over for me it's 50/50 no 85/15 like the did for KH.
I see many peoples bashing disney in the game to even one for Square to be in.
Some company should never team up.....
what do you means Disney ceast is only successful in US? Disney is actually very popular around the world (yes! in even Japan) you only hear people bitch about their inclusion because it does seem like an odd mix. (hell I bitch for the opposite reason of everyone else! Why is Disney teaming with making of gamesthat have 20+ hours of gameplay and 6000+hours of pointless movies? They could do much better then that!)
Fun fact about a Disney-less Kingdom Hearts: Unless it takes place in a different universe with completely different original characters, Disney is always going to be part of the game.
The whole "Disney-free Kingdom Hearts 2" seems to be wishful thinking steaming from the minds of Square-fans who are also Disney-basher. You see Disney isn't stupid, they know as long as they own rights to Sora, Kairi, Antheme (sp?), etc. they stand a chance to get money from them. They would never completely sell rights to them to Squaresoft, because no matter how much Square pays Disney, Square stands a chance to make MORE then that with the property...
Let me make a horride example of why Disney won't give back the KH original characters: Sony had a hand in creatingyour PS2, right? You went to the store and bought one, with your own money. Now Sony wants to start making PS3... however, they'll need everyone who bought a PS2 to send it back to be upgraded into a PS3, you'll be given $100 for doing so... so a month later Sony is selling all the upgraded PS2's as PS3 for $600... the money they gave you to make pails compared to the profit they stand to make, you're probably a bit pissed, you'd rather have just kept your PS2 even if it got no more use then see someone make so much money off it. (hmmm, I'm not sure if I was clear enough with that... I meant to say, you send them a PS2 to be upgraded and get only the $100 back, no PS3 is sent to you)
so basically a "Non-Dinsey KH" is going to have to be what "XenoSaga" is to "XenoGears", similar idea but different universe and different original characters.
Also, yes Disney has Disney Interactive to make their games. But they also have a butt-load of money that's just going to go to Michal Eisner's "year end bonus" if they don't use it... might as well get Square to make an RPG for them, no? I didn't hear people say "Lucas Films has LucasArts! Why are the hiring Luxofux to make Star Wars:Demoltion?" but I guess the less said of SW:D the better... (besides which, wasn't Kingdom Hearts Square's idea? not Disney's?)
