I didn't start playing Kingdom Hearts until I was either 20 or 21. What held me back was the fact that Disney characters were in it. Then one day, I saw it at Kmart for $6. It was a return that they had to move for newer stock. I bought it and have loved the series ever since.

The concept of it being "kiddie" or a "child's game" may put some gamers off. But as they say, "Don't knock it 'til you try it."
