Well, you don't really play in the 101 dalmations. The two parents have lost their 99 puppies and they are scattered throughout the worlds. You have to get 'em back! (They reward you handsomely).

Matt, you said you hate KH. Why is that?

What is on the poster that they give you and how big is it? Is it the picture they have on the official site (which i think is the cover of the japanese site). I love the artwork in this game and might have to get this poster :D.

Because I worked on the game 8 hours a day 5 days a week for a long time. :D

Not sure which poster it is. I'm assuming it's the poster with the three main characters and a screenshot montage behind them, with a reverse being the artwork for the cover.

Also, check out the official KH site and they have wallpapers featuring the cover artwork (plus more)!

Well guys, i just got my copy from Funcoland, im excited, ill let you know my first impressions in a bit.

thegame370 09-18-02 10:25 PM

Well, ive played a bit so far and :thumbsup: ! It started off kinda weird, but very exciting as you didn't know what was happening. What ive noticed the most is the voice acting, it is top notch! In the beginning you hear Sora speak, and Haley Joel Osment does it perfectly, makes you feel it. Well, im not even in the beginning yet so it seems, the story hasnt even started to commence, right now im just talking and battling with Sora's friends gaining expierence and getting the feel of the game. No sign of any Disney characters yet, but very good so far.

Oh, I can't wait. :) Must get to Halloween town asap. ;)

Gromit 09-19-02 12:54 PM

Got my copy at Best Buy today at lunch.

I've already seen one person from halloween town in the first 2 hours, so you won't have to wait long at least for a taste of it. I must admit I found the game a little tiny bit disappointing... AT FIRST.

There was a lot of running around not sure what I was supposed to do to progress the story, a lot of repeptitive combat, and a lot of horrible camera craziness... but as soon as I finally met up with Goofy and Donald and then some FF characters started coming in... it just turned 180 degrees and I absolutely loved it. The gummy ship is still pretty silly and not needed, but this game is defenitely worth getting immediately.

If you're like me and feeling kinda... eh... when starting out, just stick with it because it does get a lot better. Going to Wonderland just clenched it, if they've done the other "movies" as well as this one then I'm in for a ride to put Mr. Toad's to shame.

I just started playing tonight, and I had the same reaction as Scheherazade...a little annoying at first, but as soon as you get to Traverse Town the whole game changes for the better. I'm totally hooked!

gcribbs 09-20-02 02:12 AM

Best buy and Circuit city still did not have it today :(

Oh well I am off tomorrow so I guess I will check it out at fry's :)

zero 09-20-02 02:58 AM

Ive been playing for the last two hours, damn this game is simply amazing!

BigDave 09-22-02 11:51 AM

My wife picked it up yesterday at Best Buy. She said that the PS2 was having a hard time loading the game. I tried it this morning and the PS2 goes to "Browser" before it loads the game. None of my other games do this before it loads the game.

I tried FFX and SOCOM just to make sure. Anyone else have this problem? I think I'm going to exchange it for another copy at Best Buy and see if I just got a semi-bad disc.

I've had games do that before, not this one specifically though.

I got this game yesterday and have already logged in 10 hours! I was really excited for this game, but then some of the reviews came in complaining about different things...I think it's spectacular. I'm not a hardcore RPG fan, so this was perfect for me.

My copy of Kingdom Hearts did this the first time I loaded the game; hasn't done it since.

Is this a blue disc or a silver DVD-Rom disc?

Mattalos 09-23-02 12:10 AM

It's a DVD.

Phuzbox 09-23-02 01:27 AM

This camera is seriously making me sick. I love Squaresoft and I am really excited about this game but as soon as i get 20 minutes into the game I get a headache and a churning stomach. I truly don't know if I can play this. :(

Mattalos 09-23-02 01:31 AM

Try setting the camera to manual.

toogood 09-23-02 01:33 AM

Picked this up along with the strategy guide at bestbuy today. Get $10 off when you buy the game and guide together. Combine that with the $5 off coupons (not every store will do this) and the deal gets even better.

I exchanged it yesterday for another copy and this one isn't doing the loading problem. :)

I'm just a little over an hour in and just gaining some experience fighting Wakka, etc. This looks like it'll be a really fun game to play.

It is a definite change of pace from Morrowind, but I like both styles of RPGs. :D

discostu1337 09-23-02 08:30 AM

I rented this game Saturday....Im pretty far into it, and it's not too shabby of a game. The problems I have found so far are:
-The Camera is horrible most of the time
-Its not very RPGish at all (cant really get any weapons/items besides potions)
-The combat is mindless

On the plus side, the story is very odd and intriguing. Its also cool too see all these disney characters all over the place. I'll definitely try to beat it before I return it, but it would not be a purchase.

My rating 6.5/10
