Overview<br />
<br />
Common gameplay elements<br />
The Kingdom<br />
Hearts series games contain elements from both<br />
action and role-playing games. The games are<br />
driven by a linear progression to the next story<br />
event, usually told in the form of a cut scene,<br />
though there are numerous side quests available<br />
that provide bonus benefits to the characters. The<br />
player is primarily in control of the principal<br />
protagonist of the series, Sora. Sora is usually<br />
accompanied by Donald Duck and Goofy, who are<br />
non-playable characters that aid Sora in battle.<br />
In the first and third game, their behavior could<br />
be altered to fit the player's needs. The games<br />
featured real-time combat that incorporates<br />
physical attacks, magic, and summonings; though<br />
each game handled battles differently.<br />
<br />
Gummi<br />
Ships are another common theme in the series,<br />
though they are only featured in the first and<br />
third installment. The Gummi Ships serve as the<br />
main mode of transportation between worlds in the<br />
games. The gameplay for the Gummi Ships sections<br />
is more akin to a rail shooter. Because it<br />
received negative criticism in the first game, it<br />
was improved in the third installment. All three<br />
games also feature a journal which is accessible<br />
from the main menu. The journal keeps track of<br />
information regarding the story, characters,<br />
enemies, and locations. In the game the journal is<br />
kept by Jiminy Cricket, who was appointed by Queen<br />
Minnie as the royal chronicler.<br />
<br />
The games are<br />
influenced by their parent franchise, Final<br />
Fantasy, and carry its gameplay elements over into<br />
their own action-based, hack-and-slash system.<br />
Like many traditional role-playing games, Kingdom<br />
Hearts features an experience point system which<br />
determines character development. As enemies are<br />
defeated, the player gains experience which<br />
culminate in a "level-up", where the characters<br />
grow stronger and gain access to new abilities.<br />
The amount of experience is shared with all party<br />
members and each character grows stronger as<br />
experience is gained.<br />
<br />
<br />
Story<br />
The three main games<br />
in the Kingdom Hearts series focus on the<br />
adventures of Sora and his search for his friends,<br />
Kairi and Riku. The first game shows how Sora is<br />
separated from his friends when their world is<br />
invaded by an army of corrupted hearts known as<br />
the Heartless. During the invasion, he obtains a<br />
special weapon known as a Keyblade. Soon after,<br />
Sora meets Donald Duck, the Disney Castle court<br />
magician, and Goofy, the Disney Castle captain of<br />
the royal guard. Donald and Goofy are searching<br />
for the "key" per instructions from King Mickey.<br />
The three band together and travel to different<br />
Disney themed worlds, sealing the hearts of the<br />
worlds to prevent more Heartless invasions. Along<br />
the way they encounter a group of Disney villains,<br />
led by Maleficent, that are controlling the<br />
Heartless. The three eventually discover that a<br />
man named Ansem is the true antagonist. Ansem's<br />
plan is to open the door to Kingdom Hearts. Sora,<br />
Donald, and Goofy defeat Ansem, and seal the door<br />
with the help of Riku and King Mickey on the other<br />
side of the door.<br />
<br />
After sealing the door to<br />
Kingdom Hearts, the three begin searching for Riku<br />
and King Mickey. They encounter a mysterious<br />
fortress called Castle Oblivion. Upon entering the<br />
fortress, they begin to lose their memories. The<br />
three encounter a group of dark hooded villains<br />
referred to as the Organization. After defeating<br />
the Organization members in the castle, Sora<br />
learns his memories have been manipulated by a<br />
girl named Namin&#65533; who is controlled by the<br />
Organization. To allow them to regain their<br />
memories, Namin&#65533; puts Sora, Donald, and Goofy to<br />
sleep for a year. While the three are ascending to<br />
the top floor of the castle, Riku and King Mickey<br />
arrive in the basement and began traveling to the<br />
top as well. Riku fights the darkness in his heart<br />
and learns to accept his dual nature between light<br />
and dark.<br />
<br />
A year later, Sora, Donald, and Goofy<br />
awaken and continue their search for Riku and King<br />
Mickey. They learn of the Nobodies and their<br />
leaders, Organization XIII. Afterwards, Maleficent<br />
is resurrected and joins with Pete, another Disney<br />
villain, to continue her quest for power. Sora<br />
once again travels to many Disney-themed worlds<br />
and resolves the troubles caused by Organization<br />
XIII, the Heartless, Maleficent and Pete, and<br />
local villains. Meanwhile, Kairi is kidnapped by<br />
the Organization. They meet King Mickey, who<br />
reveals the true nature of Ansem, the antagonist<br />
of Kingdom Hearts. The Ansem who Sora defeated was<br />
actually the Heartless of Xehanort, a student of<br />
Ansem the Wise. Xemnas, the leader of Organization<br />
XIII, reveals himself to be the Nobody of<br />
Xehanort. The three arrive at the headquarters of<br />
Organization XIII, with Kingdom Hearts looming<br />
overhead. Ansem the Wise uses a device that<br />
dissipates some of Kingdom Hearts' power, but a<br />
system overload causes the machine to explode and<br />
kill Ansem. At the top of Organization XIII's<br />
castle, Sora and his friends battle Xemnas, who<br />
uses the remnants of Kingdom Hearts to fight them.<br />
After Xemnas' death, Sora and Riku are reunited<br />
with their friends at Destiny Islands, their<br />
home.
