That's what we all started calling him last year at ComicCon when he debuted his new hair. Laughing

Kingdom Hearts 2 was just annouced for a March 1, 2006 release! I would have preferred this year like those over in Japan (they get theirs in December! Mad

), but I guess this is a nice "Yay! You survived your Sophomore year in college" present Laughing

Information about part of the Aladdin round as played through a demo at one of those game con events:

The other environment we got to explore was the new portion of Aladdin. While in the first game the Aladdin level took place on the streets of Agrabah, this game's level is in the Cave of Wonders. The demo begins with the Disney antihero, Pete, who seems to play the role of Jafar in this scene, escaping into the mouth of the Cave of Wonders. You must follow him with some combination of Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin in your party. As in the original game, at any point you can switch out one character for another, letting you make different strategic choices depending on what enemy you're fighting. Donald is still mostly a magic user, and Goofy is a great tank; but it looks as though they can be tweaked more specifically, if you have an exact idea of how you want them to operate.

In the Cave of Wonders, you pass through different rooms, some of which strictly involve combat and unlocking the many treasure chests, others which have some puzzle elements to them. In the "Stone Pillar Room," for example, you must guide Aladdin's monkey, Abu, who has swiped a crystal nearly twice his size, to the place where he can deposit the crystal and stop the trap. You do this by pressing the triangle button when it appears on the screen, which will let you lift him over the portions of the moving floor that are taller than he is. This method of pressing the triangle properly is also a part of the fighting dynamic. You can do special combos if you quickly execute the triangle button when prompted on screen. A further section in the Cave of Wonders shows a multitiered fight. You must beat all the enemies on a platform so that it disappears and drops you to the platform below it, where you will be tasked to fight more difficult enemies. Complete all of this within the given time limit and you drop to the bottom of the cave where the treasure is, and where you'll be able to reconnect with the sinister Pete.

Ah... okay, but where does Jasmine fit into all of that? I know I saw her on the KH2 trailers. Confused

They haven't really revealed anything with the princesses yet. I know I saw her tied to the gate...

I hope that the review is wrong. It it's just going to be the Original Story but with Pete as the main boss instead of Jafar then what's the use? I wanted them to do RoJ or at the very least an original storyline.

This time around, they are going through a lot of the movies plots like that from the rounds I've read about: Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid...

Yes, but what is the point of the whole game?

No one is quite sure. All they know is the heartless have returned to the worlds again, plus more. They really aren't telling anything about the framework of the game yet, I am guessing not to spoil anything.

Random hilarity:

There's a co-op fighting move that Sora can do with Aladdin during battles. You know what it's called? "Trick Faster" Your interpretation of that is up to you Laughing

And Genie is once again a summon, but he's wearing this screwy looking vest and random turban:

And apparently he does more than just magic tricks in his summon so whoo!

Jack and William from Pirates of the CAribbean is going to be in KH2! The sims look scarily like them. I wonder if Johnny Depp will be doing Jack's voice? Very Happy

Yep, there's an entire POTC round that looks AWESOME. They are still kinda shifty on the details of some of the voice actors, but we are assuming Johnny will be since I think Orlando Bloom was confirmed to be Will.
