I'm saying that it doesn't have a very good story or any real emotional involvement. If you're looking for something thought provoking or powerful, this really isn't the game for you. But if you're just looking for an entertaining game to burn a few hours on, this one's pretty fun. This is how I felt about the first one as well.
I read a review that said it sucks compared to the original, in that the oversimplified combat system ruins everything...
If you liked the original, I see absolutely no reason why you wouldn't like this one. It's basically the same game, just with a new paint job.
Also, it sounds like that review sucked. The battle system is basically the only good thing about the game. Like sean wookie said, the cut scenes are pretty long and drawn out, and the story is pretty slow and corny. The characters are just there to make you say "oh, cool, it's [insert disney or FF character]" and you have no real attachment to them at all.
There's really not much reason to play the game except for the combat and the puzzles. Oh, and if you're a big graphics buff, then obviously (it's Square-Enix) the graphics are top notch. But yeah, story has never been KH's strong suit.
