    There is a certain magic present here that a decade has only made stronger. Newcomers and fans alike will find enjoyment in this collection and you won’t able to help smiling at plenty of moments, even if you’ve seen them play out before.

    This will be the most complete Kingdom Hearts game ever. And it’s in HD! Finally we can go back and fight with Sora, Donald and Goofy. The disappointing aspect of the package is the lack of Kingdom Hearts II, while 358/2 Days feels a bit strange.

    Just like in the first go around, there’s a lot to do in this game.

    There’s a wealth of new content here, and it’s all been given the love and care this beloved franchise deserves. Whether you’re a veteran, or somebody who doesn’t know the business end of a keyblade, give this a shot. [October 2013, p81]

    A fantastic collection of three of the earliest Kingdom Hearts games and stories. There isn’t a mountain of must-play new material here, but the updated visuals, bonus content, adjustable difficulty, and trophy support for all three games should make a repeat playthrough of the games as satisfying as the first.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix offers a great opportunity to live the beginnings of an epic saga. Even if it didn't include Chain of Memories and 358/2, this would be a great experience for all those that missed its launch 10 years ago and for those who did play it and fell in love with its story and characters.

    Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix is full of beautifully animated worlds and nostalgic throwbacks to classic Disney movies. Unfortunately, it brings virtually nothing new or fresh to this aging series.

The updated graphics make everything feel smooth and the overall gameplay feels better with the improvements. One of the things I am most happy to see is simply the new action button being triangle like 2 instead of having the attack switch to it. Wish I could actually play 358/2 days but hearing the story was fun too. Hopefully enix will release KH2 final mix with BBS and maybe D3 with it as well. Expand

    KH1 HD remake alone is enough to warrant this games $40 price tag, but the additions chain of memories and 358/2 Days make it an unmissable for any kingdom hearts fan.

    Another excellent HD collection from Square Enix who have been targetting something nobody else has: 1080p. Yes, much like Final Fantasy X/X-2Another excellent HD collection from Square Enix who have been targetting something nobody else has: 1080p. Yes, much like Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 runs in 1080p and while it doesn't have the benefit of upgraded textures/models etc, the art style alone is more than enough to save it. For a game of it's age, Kingdom Hearts looks INCREDIBLE in 1080p. The colours just pop off the screen and the models and textures despite lacking an actual upgrade still look improved with nicely filtered textures and such. In my opinion, there should have only been one Kingdom Hearts HD Collection rather than 'each game with some other stuff' but despite that it's fairly decent value. That said, Kingdom Hearts is still Kingdom Hearts. It's wacky camera and wobbly controls are still the same as they always were. And if you felt the original difficulty wasn't punishing enough, there's now a Proud Mode so have fun with that. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 is unlikely to persuade you if you didn't like Kingdom Hearts way back when, but if you did, this is the best way to play it - and the extra Final Mix content is always a bonus too.

    Just as a preface, I played the version on the 1.5 + 2.5 PS4 version, so keep that in mind I suppose.

    I played Kingdom Hearts to its completion, and I have to say that I was stunned. Hearing about how busted and insane these games were, I was pleasantly surprised by a touching, yet slightly dumb and confusing at times, story, and combat that, while being slightly button-mashy and esoteric at times, was overall very enjoyable.

    So why is this a 7? Chain of Memories.

    I couldn't get through a whole hour of it before I had to turn it off. Boring and stale in every sense of the word with stale charm reused from the first game, not to mention a jarring voice actor change for Sora (it being the VA from 2 and beyond). The story is useless and it is a better experience just to watch all the cutscenes online. Plus I've heard that it's better in its original form on the GBA, which is saying something.

    As for 358/2 Days, it's a shame this wasn't remade as well, after playing through most of it on its original hardware, as it had a lot of potential, I think. That being said, knowing at least what the gameplay was like before watching, for what it is, the "version" presented is very nice to look at visually, and can be fine if you already have an idea of what's going on (as opposed to screens of text just telling you what you WOULD HAVE done, had you played the game).

    Chain of Memories drags the package down, but the greatness of the Original is enough to keep it above average. Worth it, especially if it's on sale.
