    Por fin, después de tantos años, pude jugar a Kingdom Hearts más allá de un par de horas en casa de un amigo. Qué experiencia... y en HD!

    The beginning part is slow and confusing, the ending is tedious and annoying, but the middle 80% is a genuine treat. It amazes me that they somehow did it better in Kingdom Hearts 2.

    I was so excited when the game finally got in HD version, I just wished if the KH days had a remake gameplay instead of cutseen, it just felt the cutseen did give the game that much of explanation.

    Must play for fans of Disney and Final Fantasy universe! It's always fun to explore new Disney worlds and take on their respective enemies and bosses. Gameplay is smooth, battle system is overall great, camera might be clunky sometimes, but that's understandable, it still did not ruin overall enjoyment of the game.

Luckily I rated some of these already.

    Kingdom Hearts:
    A crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy. It was a match made in heaven (There are even more weird combos like Star Trek / X-Men or Archie meets the Punisher). When it was announced we were puzzled and discussed what we should expect. We got an action RPG with new characters, in a brand new story line, within a complete new setting flavoured with the best of both worlds. It shouldn't have worked that well but the game disproved the sceptics and started a franchise that even if you dislike the games have at least heard of. The main story arc is about the battle between good and evil with an interesting take. The darkness is rising inside the hearts of people. If it took over a Heartless is created. If enough people are turned then the darkness will swallow the world (There are many worlds). There are warriors of light that wield a Keyblade that can travel betwenn worlds (restricted for normal people), defeat the darkness and restore the hearts and worlds (I am oversimplifying because a lot of lore was added in future games). They took the Disney franchise to create individual worlds with their related stories and villains. It is so satisfying to fight against your favourite Disney villains. Then there are our main characters Sora (aided by Donald and Goofy), Riku and Kairi. They are close friends since early childhood. The story will put their friendship and believes to a harsh test. I can not spoil the details but lets say that the characters and their tie ins in the story are the games greatest strength. If the characters make you feel than this is always a plus. Of cause there is the nostalgia for Disney and Final Fantasy. The art style for the worlds was chosen to resemble the movies as close as possible. They also got a lot out of the characters of both franchises. The music is beautiful and got even better in future games. The battle system is a bit off for me. It is not broken. There are times when I felt that I need better control over my character. Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep improved this and got it right. While I am at the topic there is a world where the controls are horrible or lets say need to be an acquired taste. Overall this was the starting point for the Kingdom Heart franchise and a really good one. It started a legacy but even as a fan I will say that this is not everyone's taste. For me its a classic that deserved to be recognized in game history. Its slightly below 10/10 because Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep are better and I have played them (Without this I would have given a 10/10 so its a 9/10). However I admit that it had the most intoxicating story moments in all Kingdom Hearts games

    Kingdom Hearts ReChain of memories:
    It enters the list of great games that had a serious flaw like Epic Mickey (Camera), Kid Icarus Uprising (Controls) or Mass Effect 3 (Ending). To be fair it is an 8-9/10 game for me but the horrible battle system destroyed the experience. Here they use a card style battle system in real time battles. It takes a lot of time to get used to it (If you can even get used to it). I had to push myself to play the game and was always annoyed by this. It is a shame because the rest is really good. The graphic and sound are good as always. The story is Kingdom Hearts like. That means it is good for me (fans) but can annoy others. Side-note: Have you ever explained the story of Kingdom Hearts to your friends that don't have played the games? It is an interesting experience and can turn awkward really fast;-). Back to the game. Like I said the story is really good for me as are the characters. You learn something about the Organization and it plays with the concept of memories. I will also praise that they tried something new or different. Overall this is my least favourite Kingdom Hearts game because of the battle system. If you don't agree that's fine for me. I was also on the other end of this type of conversation and admit that this is a thing about preferences. I prefer better systems and give 4/10

    358/2 Days
    A good summarisation in form of movies and sequences (Not a game). The story is great but has a sad ending that will put tears in your eyes. I like the friendship between Xion, Roxas and Axel. It is a highlight and made me sad that I didn't play it but a Nintendo DS was and is nothing for me.

    Conclusion:
    A compilation worth playing and owning. Only ReChains battle system prevent a 10/10 rating.    … Expand

    *only talking about KH1* The game that got me into video games, a game with so much nostalgia that I actually cry when playing it or just hearing the music. I can't stress how good this game is or how amazing its sequel is.

    Never played the original version, but this remaster was still a lot of fun. The Disney cheesiness meshes really well with Final Fantasy aesthetic to creat something absolutely unique. The story isn't too deep, but the main message is something all people can relate to.

    If there's one thing "Kingdom Hearts" fans wanted just as much as "Kingdom Hearts III," it was the "Final Mix" versions of the first and second games, along with "Birth by Sleep." In 2013, the fans got their wish (or rather, part of it, because they had to wait another year for the other part) when "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX" was released for the PlayStation 3. There was much rejoicing, as fans finally got to play the "Final Mix" version of the game, and boy, was it a faithful collection!
    "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX" upscales the games to look far better, and it's impressive to see the visuals hold up so well. The addition of new scenes and gameplay tweaks, as well as changed to the soundtrack, make things very impressive. Toss in the fact that this collection also includes "Re:Chain of Memories" and "358/2 Days" (the latter in the form of a cinematic retelling), and there's plenty of beef to this collection.
    There are a few minor flaws that take away from the experience for me. For starters, "Re:Chain of Memories" hasn't aged nearly as well as the first game (blame it on the card-based battle system), and the game is still as frustrating as you remember, so the addition of the game could be either a blessing or a curse. Meanwhile, some fans might be turned off by "358/2 Days" only being included as cutscenes and not in playable form.
    Even so, "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX" is a great way to experience the "Final Mix" version that fans have been waiting so long for, and it's definitely a great way to get into the series if you haven't already!

    + The story line, YES the Kingdom Hearts story line involving the main antagonist and the Heartless is actually intriguing.
    + The change of worlds keeps the game constantly fresh.
    + Never being actually stranded without mana, because you can always get it back by fighting. This might be the game's best feature, no exaggeration.
    + Proud Mode difficulty is pretty much the perfect difficulty. It's hard but not unreasonably impossible.
    + The voice acting is tolerable and very accurate for certain Disney icons, which is admirable considering other PS3 voice acting.
    + The auto-check points when entering a new area were appreciated.
    + The Sephiroth fight on Proud Mode is intense, and will make you feel like a badass if you win.

    - Donald and Goofy, your two main party members, are unfathomably useless for the majority of the game. No matter how you program them, Donald dies faster than a bullet to the head and Goofy fights like an abortion survivor. You max equip them with items, and they use ALL of them on each other within 5 seconds because they stand in front of every bosses' strike zone.
    - The item hotkeys are good old fashion retarded. You honestly have to play it to understand. It blows my mind a group of intelligent people thought this was the best placement for hotkeys. Unless, you have three hands or 15 fingers you have to at some point stop moving to use an item, which on Proud Mode can be death with some bosses.
    - The camera angles can be ridiculously fickle at times.
    - Everything involving the gummi ship is a hot mess.
    - The off ground platform hit-boxes that you are meant to jump to are inexcusably terrible.
    - The swimming mechanics are so unforgivably terrible. They are so disastrous they should be described somewhere in the book of Revelations.    … Expand

    Kingdom Hearts is a little gem, the improbable mix two universe that you wouldn't even think about before this game, Disney and Final Fantasy, and what a success it has been !
    The first episode is just awesome, there's magic and nostalgia in every corner, the story is actually better than you'd expect and even gets pretty complex as you play Chain of Memories and see 358/2 Days.

    The first episode is just awesome, there's magic and nostalgia in every corner, the story is actually better than you'd expect and even gets pretty complex as you play Chain of Memories and see 358/2 Days. The gameplay is in real time and it's definitely in the Action-RPG genre but you can still see the Final Fantasy origins of it (you have the choice between magic, use of an item, attack, or summon at every actions). The difficulty is well dosed with some hard bosses (specially the optional ones) that would require a minimum level before you can hope to take them out, and the hard mode (aka "final mix proud") will really put your skills at test. The gameplay in Chain of Memories is a bit different with a card system, I clearly preferred the gameplay of the original game and wasn't as pleased with this game, but it worked well enough.

    As I said the story is more complex than you may think and to finish the two games and see the movie, it will take you approximately 60 hours which is very good considering its price. Even more considering that the HD lifting is very good and not just a cash in, it could actually be a PS3 game (at its debut in 2007, but still a true accomplishment).

    All in all, for Kingdom Hearts 1 only this game was worth it, in addition we've got one movie and an other game that deeply improve the story and the length and true HD graphics. A must for Action RPG fans or Disney fans and very recommendable to at least try it once for every one else.    … Expand

    Although it would have been nice to be given the opportunity to play 358/2 Days on the PS3, 1.5ReMIX gives Australian gamers the chance to play RE:Chain of Memories for the first time. The graphics aren't all that improved for Kingdom Hearts 1 and it would have been nice if they had improved that platforming a little but other than that its a great compilation.

    Kingdom Hearts is a series that has earned its way into the hearts of gamers. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) And this remake of the original game is a most welcome addition to the franchise. I'm not going to really get into the whole product, so much as I'm going to get into the only reason to buy this. That reason being the original Kingdom Hearts remake. But I'll touch on the other two thingsKingdom Hearts is a series that has earned its way into the hearts of gamers. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) And this remake of the original game is a most welcome addition to the franchise. I'm not going to really get into the whole product, so much as I'm going to get into the only reason to buy this. That reason being the original Kingdom Hearts remake. But I'll touch on the other two things here and now.

    Chain of Memories is so badly crippled by it's gameplay, that it's virtually unplayable. Because of this I would recommend watching a play through before playing the game. The other thing in this collection is a movie made up of cinematic scenes from 358/2 and should only be watched if you care about a character from the second game. Other then that, it doesn't really ad to the story.

    Anyway, on to the reason for why you should buy this game. Kingdom Hearts. The game just makes me feel good. Yes the ending is bitter sweet, but the story is good if you're into Disney. The narrative follows a boy named Sora who is looking for his friends, with the help of Donald and Goofy. Along the way the three of them embark on an epic adventure that spans many worlds. Meeting and befriending characters from both the Disney and Final Fantasy universes. The game also has it's own unique art style that plays to the strengths of the previous mentioned franchisees.

    But where this game really shines is it's gameplay. The genera is an action RPG with the effervescence being on "actions." Forgoing the normal turn based system in most RPG's of it's time, for more a beat'em up feel. This game still had a standard level system, the more enemies you fight and defeat in battle, the more powerful Sora and company will become. Sora has a lot of unique weapon designs, but that's the only piece of equipment that will change shape, size and color. The normal enemies in this game (or heartless if you want) are variant in both appearance and behavior. Though, once you understand how they will act, they don't really offer much of a challenge. Unless you play on a higher difficulty. In which case, don't let the enemy attack ever.

    But if you want to talk about combat then you have to talk about the boss fights. Or to be more specific the secret boss fights. I can honestly say that I've never had as much of a challenge with a boss as I did with The Unknown boss fight. Though he did have one attack that was a little too broken for it's own good. But the Sephiroth boss fight was also something that I enjoyed. Both of which have their own style of fighting that keeps the player constantly on his feet.

    All in all, I could go on all day about Kingdom Hearts and everything it has to offer. It built a franchise that is still going strong today. It has one of the strongest follower base today, and for good reason. Kingdom Hearts is perfectly in its designed, and executed flawlessly. The Remake is that game with more to offer. The only problem is that it's on the PlayStation 3, which will cause some frame-rate issues. Oh and it feels like it takes forever to loads things at times. But that's just a general problem with the PlayStation 3. If you own a PlayStation 3, then you owe it to yourself to buy this game. 8/10    … Expand

    Amazing game but not very exciting for KH Fans. 1 reason is because there's only 1 game of interest which is KH1FM and even though its a great game there's not much here to be excited about other than just to replay the game for the nostalgic memories and to fight the secret boss. My personal reason for playing this is for nostalgia for the story for the fun Boss Battles and the extrasAmazing game but not very exciting for KH Fans. 1 reason is because there's only 1 game of interest which is KH1FM and even though its a great game there's not much here to be excited about other than just to replay the game for the nostalgic memories and to fight the secret boss. My personal reason for playing this is for nostalgia for the story for the fun Boss Battles and the extras Final Mix has to offer but also because I love getting trophies.

    Gameplay - If you've played Kingdom Hearts before its exactly the samething. The difference is you get new Keyblades new abilities and you get to fight new Heartless as well as a secret boss. If you haven't played KH before you might love this game.The gameplay is good for a 2002 game. KH358/2 Days has no gameplay you just watch 2 hours worth of cutscenes for the Games Story but you get 6 Trophies in the process I don't know about you but those 6 trophies makes me feel accomplished.

    Story - Maybe I'm being bias but I love the story for Kingdom Hearts I newcomers might think its cliche but I love it. I can't say the same for Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories I think Sora was way too dramatic and his voice was annoying in this game. The story was okay because Riku was in it and so was the badass group called OrganizationXIII but Sora Donald & Goofy with their friendship speeches annoyed the hell out of me. 358/2 Days has a very good story buy a DS and play the original game you'll love it.

    Graphics - Kingdom Hearts 1 looks amazing love the new HD Graphics but Re:COM I felt didn't really need HD Graphics it already looked amazing in the PS2 Version but the HD Graphics are welcome. KH358/2 Days is also great in HD.

    Replay Value - Moderately Low the only reason to replay the game is for the change in difficulty and to get certain trophies or for just plain nostalgia. Final Mix Expert Mode is hard really hard I give them points for adding that difficulty. Its not like Dante Must Die Mode where 1 hit=death its not impossible to beat I beat it myself and the secret boss as well so try it if you want some challenge in this game.

    Overall - Great for the fans KH358/2 Days was a huge disappointment since there was no gameplay in it but I guess I forgive them for it. KH1FM doesn't have that many changes but it does add a little improvement on the gameplay and the Secret Boss is fun and challenging. KHRe:COM is pretty much the samething as its PS2 version except you get Trophies and better graphics. I expected this game to be like this so I'm not all that disappointed. The game I've been waiting on KH2.5 is coming soon and its better KH2FM has so much more improvements to the game than KH1FM has which makes it more exciting so see you when that comes out.    … Expand

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.… Expand

    Everything done to a immensely high standard, whoever approved the idea of having the Kingdom Hearts series HD re-released is awesome. Unlike many games this was just as amazing and captivating playing it now as it was playing it for the first time. Masterpiece.

    Great HD remake of kingdom hearts. If you've played it before then you'll know what to expect and for those that haven't, this would be a great time to jump. The graphics definitely look nicer and it's really great that they bundled the in between games especially for people like me who aren't fans of little spin off games that come out for the handhelds.

The graphics definitely look nicer and it's really great that they bundled the in between games especially for people like me who aren't fans of little spin off games that come out for the handhelds. Mostly because that means I have to buy handheld or other platform to play and I rather just stick to the main story. With this 1,5 remix though I can experience those spin off games as well as refresh my memory on the main story and prepare for KH3. It's a shame they didn't do anything about the camera though as it still feels to close to the character and sometimes you'll have a problem seeing things or the enemy but it's nothing new that you haven't experienced before if you've played it for PS2 and there aren't any new problems which is a big plus. For 40$ though it's a bit pricey so I highly recommend getting it on special like I did for 20$.… Expand

    Its so fun! Story is huge! Combat is better! Looks gorgeous! Just play it.

    Not a fan of playing as a kid, though I understand why. Platforming is iffy.

    Kingdom hearts 1.5 is a must have for any fan of the franchise, (especially if you live in Europe). Kingdom hearts final mix adds a lot to the original game, (but the platforming jumps are still horrible) and re chain of memories is amazing. However, the best thing about it is the 358/2 days feature. It is a 2 hour complimation of cutscenes that tells the story of 358/2 days with new voiceKingdom hearts 1.5 is a must have for any fan of the franchise, (especially if you live in Europe).

    I have never played Kingdom Hearts before, but now it was an incredible experience on Ps3. If you have a playstation, then it is (and the 2.5 remix) a must-have. I'm really happy, that they've released this game for the current gen.

    Great compilation with the first game of the franchise and one of the best games of PS2. Besides Chain of Memories and 358/2 days, very important games that connects with Kingdom Hearts II (2.5 HD remix in 2014!). Must buy for fans and JRPG lovers.

    Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix will probably not convince non-fans of the series. It’s the same type of cozy Disney/Square-Enix mix as always but also with the same type of bad controls and unbalanced difficulty level as the original.

    The Kingdom Hearts series has aged and this just doesn't feel as much fun as it used to do. But if you're a fan, this is still worth checking out.

    An HD remake of the highest order. [Dec 2013, p.84]
