Kingdom Hearts 3DS is a pile of sh*t, and this gaudy boss is the partially-digested cherry on top of the diarrhea sundae. First off, what makes the fight unfairly hard starts with the core of this messy game.

The controls are a disaster so everything is instantly a chore, including the camera. The level design is so poor and uninspired that it actually causes you to lose; you better land right or you're slipping off the floating meteors, possibly losing half your health, your opportunity to strike, and definitely losing precious time. The time limit has NEVER been more in-your-face than this time, and Spellican recovers health every time it depletes.

Add this all up, throw in a terrible multi-part chase scene, and you have a recipe for sheer madness.

Oh, and I have difficulty on Standard. I don't even want to think about this fight on Critical.

So **** Spellican, but really, **** Square. This accidentally ended up as a mini rage-review, but let me make myself clear, **** SPELLICAN.

**** HIM. I HOPE THERE'S A HELL FOR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, I PRAY THERE IS. OR AT LEAST A SPECIAL HELL FOR HIM.

There is a hell for fictional characters, and it's called Kingdom Hearts.

(it's not)

You say "the controls are bad" like it's a new thing for the Kingdom Hearts series.

^True but It's worse. I kinda hate the 3DS's L/R to begin with though, so I'm not sure I can blame KH 100%.

Speaking of the 3DS design, wtf is up with the crap placement of volume and the stylus? And it weighs a ton.

I played the first KH for a little while.

Because 'a little while' is all it deserved.

^ That's true but I've stuck with the series so far, played all but Re:Coded I think. KH1 was acceptable...but I feel no joy, honestly, from these games. Not anymore. But I know I'll stick around till the end. Kinda like when you're on a losing streak at a casino and you just can't stop. But with time and sanity for currency.

I will never not be butthurt that KH and MGS and sh*t flourished while 'Mark of Kri' and 'Legend of Kay' withered on the vine. It's just confounding. I am confounded by it.

Whoa there, cowboy. MGS 1-2 were great, Ac!D series was good, and I'm hopeful about Rising and MGS5. Glad the series is healthy.

If you can call the first MGS garbage, you are insane. It was ground-breaking. It's rough around the edges by today's standards but the gameplay was fun.

^Note: You say he's insane, but also agrees with you on the other game. :P

I love KH and MGS... >.>
The controls were fine to me in the first games, heck, even in the gba game. I hope 3ds isn't actually 3 and is just another spinoff that I can get the story from off of youtube.

MGS is boring, sh*tty and pretentious. I've come to terms with wrong people thinking it's great, but that doesn't mean I'll ever agree.

Maybe particular aspects are boring and ****ty, but not the gameplay, specifically. It's your opinion, but I don't see it in the original, at least.

FTR, KH 3DS is not KH3.

No, I'm afraid it isn't merely my opinion. MGS' suckitude is objective fact.

The story is enjoyable in my opinion, the gameplay is fun enough, the characters are fleshed out, and their deaths mean something. It also has lultastic moments during the game as well. "Fission Mailed"

This is coming from the experience of only playing MGS2 Sons of Liberty and the beginning of MGS3 Snake Eater(lol) though. I don't find it pretentious myself, though I've heard people (meaning you and one other person) say that before.

2 Also had enjoyable extras and collectibles after the main game.

What do you mean is boring about it? The slowness? The fact that it goes slow is fine with me, I don't find it boring, BUT, I've seen people play it like an fast-paced action game and win (don't remember their difficulty) sooo, it's probably your fault it goes so slow. You may just suck at it. :p


From what I know MGS4 has way too many cutscenes in it, but otherwise it's an okay experience ( I've heard that claim from alot more than two people :p )



I personally consider MGS2 to be a materpiece and one of the better stealth games on the ps2 or ever. If you don't agree then fine.
