Kingdom Hearts

In 2002, this unlikely collaboration of Disney and Squaresoft resulted in a compelling game for the PS2, blending favorite Disney characters, popular Final Fantasy characters, and original characters in a massive, multi-world quest.

Sora and his friends, Kairi and Riku, live on the idyllic Destiny Island, yet dream of going to other worlds. Donald and Goofy have been sent on a mission by the now-absent King Mickey to find and follow the Key. Maleficent and a mysterious, cloaked man are trying to unlock a power known as Kingdom Hearts, each using the Heartless—creatures which have had their hearts taken and now hunger for the hearts of others—in different ways. When the Heartless come and darkness destroys Destiny Island, the friends are cast onto different paths. Kairi is missing, Sora is granted the power of the Keyblade and joined by Donald and Goofy, and Riku falls in with Maleficent, who grants him his wish for power. Can Sora save his friends and all the worlds?
