The unlikely but successful collaboration between Square Enix and Disney Interactive returns in Kingdom Hearts II; where a darkly-cloaked Mickey Mouse joins Donald, Goofy, and Sora as they continue their adventure into several popular Disney-inspired worlds. Battling against the Heartless once more, the dedicated group of friends now find themselves up against an all-new enemy threat -- a mummy-wrapped ruler of unknown origin. Also fresh to the series is a brand new meter known as the "Transformation Drive" that allows players to merge with other team members to create more powerful versions of themselves. New costume designs, improved camera controls, and the answer to lingering plot questions from the first game are ... included. Developed exclusively for the PlayStation 2.

The Gummi ship has retained its basic system of travelling from Kingdom Hearts, but major changes have been made. For instance, now in the Gummi world map, the player does not pick the world the player wants to travel to by moving the cursor to it. Instead, the player must control the Gummi Ship from a top-down view and fly to the worlds the player wishes to enter. These worlds are not open from the beginning as the player must unlock the routes that separates Sora from them. When the player enters these routes, a new level loads and the player will be controlling the ship from a third-person point of view. Once a route has been unlocked, the player is free to travel to that world without having to battle enemy ships again.
