I'm really intrigued, but I didn't play any of the older games.

I vaguely remember the first 2 vaguely, but it's been so long and i haven't played anything since. No clue why it's been so long between major games, seems weird.

It’s the way Square Enix rolls.

Just downloaded KH3 last night on my X and I love it so far.

If you're new to the series or fuzzy on the details, this is a good review and there's a video as well that summarizes the story pretty well.

As far as gameplay/combat goes, let me just say that there are more ways to attack than I'm ever going to need. And to me that's perfectly fine, because for me, ever since KH2 fighting in this series has been more about freestyle and finding your own groove in combat than just endlessly repeating the same thing. Even on Proud, the hardest difficulty, I feel like I could probably do pretty well just endlessly mashing X to attack (and maybe an occasional triangle to switch forms), but that would be pretty boring. Switching keyblades mid-fight and using all of their second forms and abilities associated with them, using grand magic when it's available, and the occasional shotlock attack has been much more fun.

I will say that the "attraction" attacks really seem out-of-place though - like they were just something tacked on by Disney. I'm not using them - save for one boss fight that was something of a tutorial for them - and so far I've been just fine.

So I am really having a love/hate relationship with this game. At the risk of enraging the KH fandom, I think this is a game way past its time. The graphics are beautiful (even though HDR isn't supported), and I still love the Disney interactions as I'm such a fan. But the clunky interface, collect-a-thons, non-adjustable HUD, a sound mix designed for stereo systems (way too loud at default 10 on my calibrated home theater), mash "X" gameplay, and a convoluted absolute mess of a story really sour the experience.

I'm going to play through it, but it really feels like a game from ten years ago that has sat in the hopper too long.
