I picked up KH2 as soon as it came out. the first one rocked. you'll be a little lost for the "introduction" part of the game if you didn't play KH: chain of memories (like me) but they kinda fill you in after awhile. i just found a plot summary online of CoM when i was confused. KH2 is pretty good so far. some new game mechanics but still the same feel that made the original so popular. the opening cinematics are pretty damn awesome as well. pick it up - you'll like it :thumbsup
