I had fun with it. It didn't hit me in the feels th same way the earlier games did when I was a teenager, but I still enjoyed the experience.

I've played every game up to and including III's DLC (and I watched the new cutscenes from Melody of Memory but have no intention of playing it). My recommendation to anyone playing Kingdom Hearts for the story: play KH, CoM, KHII and then stop. II is about as close to a satisfying ending as this series will ever achieve. Disney and Square will milk the series until it's dry and then keep going, so expecting an actual "ending" at this point is naive. I mean, a whole staple of the series is earning the secret bonus video that hints at the next game, and that's been part of EVERY game. This series won't end. The story will only get more and more ridiculous and convoluted. It's already far past the point of being nonsensical.

If you're not playing for the story, or at least know to expect convoluted nonsense with no payoff that never ends in the story, then there series has plenty more to offer. I've always enjoyed whacking classic Disney villains with a giant key, so I'll likely still pickup whatever the next game is (minus the rhythm game).

I hope that one day they'll be able to recapture the magic of the earlier games, since it's inevitabile that it will continue, but I'm not holding my breath.
