A few weeks ago, Circuit City was selling Kingdom Hearts II for $10. Since it had a Tron world in it, I couldn’t resist purchasing it.
But holy hell, I started playing it and it took me five hours just to get to the title screen and start the actual game. Now that I’m there, the game is a lot more enjoyable, but that was quite a hurdle.
Having never before played a Square Enix game, I had to come into work and ask other folks if all their games started this way. Turns out no, KHII just has the longest intro ever.
Actually Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty also had a fake beginning that took For-freaking-ever to finish. And after you were done with the “intro”? No more playing as Solid Snake for the whole game.
I’ve since discovered that it might not actually have been 5 hours. It was only last night that I noticed the game time clock continues to count even when the game is paused or in the party configuration menu.
That night, I was reinstalling Windows XP for somebody and had to walk away a number of times. So, really, it was probably only 2.5 hours.
