Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I picked it up today at Best Buy at well, and I, too, haven't had a chance to play it. The strategy guide is HUGE, yet I think it's the same amount as the others. When I played the first KH, I downloaded a walk-through and FAQs to guide me (especially when tracking down the Dalmatians). I won't do it this time though. I also noticed that KH 2 takes up less space on the memory card than KH 1 did. The gameplay is supposedly better, but there tends to be a lot of button-mashing; that's okay for me, since that seems to be my preferred way at Street Fighter (I always use Blanka, Dhalsim and E. Honda). I'm anxious to see the TRON and Steamboat Willie worlds; The Beast is a boss early on in the game (Gaston would have made a good one), and I guess you have to fight some of the same baddies from the last game (Hades, Oogie Boogie, Jafar). You do face new Villains such as Captain Barbossa, Scar, Pete, MPC & Sark and Shan Yu. It appears that Shan Yu's falcon's name is Hayabusa.
