Did a few more worlds in KH2, some of them unfortunately not so good. Atlantica sucks even harder than the first game. The music is fun, but the rhythm aspect is painfully basic. It could've been so much fun if it were more like Theatrhythm! The plot is bottom tier for all the worlds so far too. Not only does it rehash the movie plot, it does so despite Ursula being the villain in KH1. Like what? Did they really have to make Ariel that stupid? The moment where Sora's like "screw this shit" and nukes Ursula almost redeemed it, but alas, that wasn't quite the end. Blah.

Agrabah was mostly just mediocre plotwise. The first half was kinda neat since it felt like they were avoiding Return of Jafar, but then they did it in the second half anyway. Unfortunately, the gameplay sucked hard here. Fighting on the carpet was abysmal, which is a shame how could other flying segments of the game are (Gummy Ship is actually fun and made me want more! The flying minigames in 100 Acre Woods are super fun! I think there's a great flying segment near the end of the game too). Controlling it just wasn't fun, and it takes away so much that the rest of the game has (like allies and Drive). The Jafar boss fight especially sucked.

I was worried Pride Lands would have some of the same issues, but it looks like they figured it out a little better here. No Drive is still disappointing, but you have allies, and fighting doesn't feel bad. It's funny, early on I was like "I enjoy this sense of speed, but it'd have to be faster to really make this form fun." And then you get a huge speed upgrade and it's awesome! Good on you game designers.

Thankfully, the other world I finished was great. Halloweentown was probably the best Disney world in KH1, and it's still excellent here. The new costumes were awesome, Sora marking out over Santa is adorable, and I highly appreciate that they managed to do so much with it in both games without ever rehashing the movie's plot. Wasn't a huge fan of the boss fight with Oogie, but it wasn't bad, and the rest of the world made up for it. I really need to watch the movie again sometime...
