Kingdom Hearts

Mike has been asking me if he can play Kingdom Hearts ever sense X-mas when 2 years ago when his Grandma and Grandpa bought me Kingdom Hearts 2. And up until this point I've been telling him no. It's not that I don't think it's an appropriate game for him to play, or even that he can't grasp the concept. It's always been that he can't read well enough to play it, It's not a game you can just cruise through, as a free flowing RPG you need to read everything and find the path.

It wasn't until recently that I realize that he could read everything it put up. It might take him 2 mins to read something that only takes me 20 seconds, but he can still read it. So I concented to him playing, under the condition that he had to learn to play by him self, and that he had to read all the stuff him self.

Meaning that while I would be willing to help him sound out words, or help him figure something out I wasn't going to sit here and read everything to him...

The boy can play his way through both Baulders gate games on the playstation, and both Diablo II and War Craft III on the computer. I don't think this will be much of a challenge. If he can make it through both the Kingdom Heart games I'll step him up to Final Fantasy...
