"Kingdom Hearts" may be old news in Japan, where more than 800,000 people already own it, but it's new to the United States.

Square-Electronic Arts, the U.S. arm of Square Soft, has just released an English-language version of the unique role-playing game that Square created in conjunction with the Walt Disney Co.

"Kingdom Hearts" is an excellent role-playing adventure for PlayStation2 that combines classic characters from "Final Fantasy" games and familiar animated characters from Disney.
