Otaku Dome's Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix Review:
Kingdom Hearts finally gets the HD remaster fans have been wanting since the craze started, but does it preserve the franchise’s critical acclaim? Read our review below.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX is an HD compilation game containing HD gameplay and cinematics of Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hreats Re: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. It is available exclusively on the PlayStation 3.
THE GOOD: Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix gives fans exactly what they’ve been asking for, an HD retelling of the original game, while also adding an HD remake of Re: Chain of Memories, and a near 3 hour cinematic of 358/2 Days. However it’s not the original version of Kingdom Hearts which is included, but instead the once Japanese exclusive Final Mix version, which was believed to never see the light of day outside of it’s original home. The Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts includes tougher enemies, extra items (including an exclusive key blade), and a new boss fight which connects the game to the other entries included in the compilation.
As the decade ends, let’s look back at many of the biggest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series. From games to merchandise, there was something for every Kingdom Hearts fan to enjoy.
Kingdom Hearts' Organization XIII is full of many different personalities. Here is how we've ranked each of the members from worst to best.
Kingdom Hearts has exploded. While Kingdom Hearts III is only the third game in the trilogy, it is one of many titles that rounds out the series' lore. It is a lot to take in, and people might not have time to go through all of it. Fortunately, Michibiku's guide is here to help! To help better illustrate what is going on and what people should be playing, here is the full timeline going through when every game happens and if someone should watch or play through each one.
Chain of Memories and 358/2 have a lot of important stuff that lead into KH2. Otherwise you'll be Really lost at beginning of 2. You can easily find a videos of all the cutscenes of both games so you dont have to play through them all the way.
Wouldn't actually say Chains is necessary before going into 2 since you know just as much as Sora. While I do like a lot from 358/2, aside from a few things it's mostly world/character building Days came out after 2 anyway and would take a lot of mystery away. Maybe I'm just trying to simulate how I experienced the story but in that case I actually started playing 2 first lol. Cutscenes should be sufficient for sure.
I'd through 0.2 in there as well just cause it's so short and has a decent amount of information. What the hell did Mickey mean?
