Playing video games is seriously the single greatest past time ever. No question. Sad thing, I didnt even realize this until I came to UCSC. Sure, i've played a fair share of games, N64 is still and will always be my favorite childhood memory, but I never really appreciated the power of gaming until now. Thankfully a roommate of mine brought her PS2 and consequently instigated my current obssesion with Kingdom Hearts II. Of course, being a fan of Disney movies etc. as a child, this game was of great interest for me. Specifically, I was excited to finally be able to play in the world of my all time favorite character ever :Aladdin. This game didnt dissapoint, although it did take a while to actually get to Agrabah. Everything from the character and storyline development ( of which I was somewhat familiar with from the first game) to the cut scenes made the experience seem almost like your playing and watching a movie at the same time. Even more interestingly, the incorporation of Final Fantasy characters and worlds in tribute to other older Disney themes was icing on the cake. Hopefully, the excitement wont end!
