Kingdom Migraines.

So, I know there are people out there in CloudReaderLand who enjoyed Kingdom Hearts and thought it was a great game. (It's been a while, but I'd like to single out duchez and katre_blog.) So, picked up the game this week, and I've spent some time playing it, and I'm getting a freaking headache dealing with the camera that acts like Tinkerbell would if she took LSD and was hit by a baseball bat several times.

I don't mean the camera is a metaphorical headache, which it is, I mean I'm getting a headache trying to do accomplish things when I can't see where I am, where I'm going, where my "allies" are, or where the thing that's killing me is.

Was this, like, not a problem for you guys? Is there anything to keep me from taking this back to the store in a few hours?

At least you got past the beginning bit where you're not supposed to hit the shadow things...

I remember being occasionally frustrated at the camera, but I'm such a button-masher anyway - I'd usually just keep pounding the buttons and hope that I'd hit something. That may not be a solution for you, but I did really enjoy the game.

Oh, and don't take it back to the store - just send it to me instead. ( ;

(I borrowed a friend's copy when I played).

It didn't take me too long to realize that I wasn't doing damage and that I should run to find something important. Of course, because of the camera, I couldn't see where anything was, so I ended up running around the entire empty island pointlessly for several minutes before finding the right spot to trigger the next event.
