Just when my brother was ranting about no RPG's being available to play on either PS3 or Nintendo DS, Romulation comes to the rescue with the new Kingdom Hearts!!! Yeah boy!
After I figured out how to get it running on an EDGE card, I immediately gave it a spin. It's pretty cool so far, certainly more simple than the PS2 installments but still addictive. (When I managed to pry myself away from the DS, I realized that I'd been playing for three hours. WTF.)
It also made me long for the first two games in the series, super nostalgia trip. (I'm looking for a download link for Utada's "Simple & Clean -Orchestral Version" - you know, the one that plays during the ending.)
Squeenix, if you can't give us goddamn Kingdom Hearts III on the PS3, at least give us a compilation of the first two games on Blu-Ray disc (ala God of War Collection).

The fans will pay! :-)
EDIT: Having played through a lot of KH358/2D, I can definitely say that this doesn't hold a candle to the PS2 installments. The new Panel skills and abilities system is cool and addictive, but the gameplay is so simplistic and one note. It also doesn't help that there aren't very many cool Disney cameos to look out for; when they do pop up, the dialogue is incredibly boring and generic. It may be Aladdin and Jasmine talking in Agrabah, yeah, but their conversation could just as well have been carried out by Generic RPG Villagers # 1 and # 2.
What a crushing disappointment. :-(
