When Disney and Square Enix paired up to create the first Kingdom Hearts, it was like a dream come true. Almost a decade later, the franchise is still going strong with another title coming exclusively for the PSP. KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep will chronicle the beginning of the saga, before Sora was chosen. You will journey through the worlds with the three main characters: Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. Here we will see what happened from the very beginning.
I had an opportunity to play the game at this year’s E3 during my Square Enix booth tour. I’m not sure where in the game I was but I was in Cinderella’s castle. I was able to wander around as well as engage in combat.
The game plays as one would expect – an action game with some RPG elements. There are definitely a lot of elements to the game that cannot be experienced or conveyed in a 10-15 minute playthrough but I can say that the graphics are beautiful, as expected, and the control handled well.
The game also features a fantastic voice cast featuring Mark Hamill, James Woods, and Leonard Nimoy just to name a few. You will also be able to travel to never seen before Disney worlds like the Enchanted Domain (Sleeping Beauty) and the Castle of Dreams (Cinderella).
I am looking forward to the game and I think that Disney fans and Kingdom Hearts fans are eagerly awaiting its release as well.
KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep is due out on September 7th, 2010 exclusively for the PSP.
