The editors didn't like
Things cling to many cliches at times
Ending seems a bit thin
Load times are long
Even after ‘data install'
First hour is very slow
The game’s mix of mashheavy battles and dodgeheavy boss fights quickly becomes repetitive
Terrible dialog
Voice acting that ranges from mediocre to horrible
The story’s all at once derivative and nighincomprehensible.
I didn't find the board game minigame all that interesting
Often frustrating camera
Canon
The story of Kingdom Hearts
Birth by Sleep takes place before the original Kingdom Hearts game
And though you definitely don't need to have played the previous games to enjoy this one
If you have you'll find a lot of nuance and meaning in the story that newcomers to the franchise won't see
Thre
Camera can be a nuisance
A lot of repetition
From environments to music
Terra's voice acting is abysmal
Long load times and frame rate drops.
Install is pretty much mandatory
Game can still lag and have some annoying load times with the largest install option
Can only play through one story at a time
Only one Square Enix character (Zack from FFVII) appears and only available on UMD.
Final Fantasy meets Disney!, gorgeous graphics, fun story and interesting characters

Abstract: I'll admit to being a bit of a Kingdom Hearts fanboy, mostly due to my love of classic Disney characters and films, so every time a new KH game gets announced I tend to get a little excited about it. I've also generally enjoyed every game in the series...

Abstract: Kingdom Hearts has gone nearly five years now without a console iteration. The portable titles, like Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days have attempted to change or imitate the main series, though both felt more like little siblings than true successors. ...
