Concept: Kingdom Hearts on the DS. What took so long?

Graphics: Excellent production values both in rendered cutscenes and in-game graphics.

Playability: Camera controls make the journey from the PlayStation analog stick to DS shoulder buttons without too much trouble.

Entertainment: Despite repetitive missions and a drawn out story, the tent pole moments still pack a punch.

Bottom Line: 8 out of 10.
