Critic Reviews
Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix
Covering each game in this collection would make this review as convoluted as the franchise itself, so here is the short run-through: in addition to Kingdom Hearts I and II, this collection includes the PS2 remake of Chain of Memories (which, as stated above, began as a GBA exclusive featuring 2D sprites), the console version of Birth by Sleep (a prequel chapter that was originally on the PSP), and the two movie versions of 358/2 Days and Re: Coded (two more spinoffs that were released on the DS). The last two entries strip away the gameplay of their original games to focus on retelling their respective stories as cutscenes: while this may feel like a short-change, neither of the DS games were anything to write home about, thus allowing fans to experience the additional pieces of stories these side games provided without the incessant grinding.
90%Very clean, but never simple: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX review
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is a collection that can provide countless hours of RPG action and mixes Square Enix’s brilliant esoteria with Disney’s magical childlike wonder into a story unlike any other. It is also a collection of games that have been around for years, and provides little new content to long time fans. Brilliant is a word to describe the content, albeit familiar, but a little refresher may be just the thing to get you fully amped for the future of the series.
85%The door has opened --- Kingdom Hearts on PC Review
The Kingdom Hearts PC ports are surprisingly excellent. With a substantial amount of options in 3 especially, this will no doubt please players who want to experience some of the saga at upwards of 900 frames per second. While there are a few blemishes, like blurry movies and no mouse support, each of these games is well worth owning for fans of the series. Just wait for a big sale.
