    This is a nice collection of the first 6 Kingdom Hearts games with two as cinematics. These games are really good albeit with a convoluted storyline.

    Kingdom Hearts: 7/10

    The combat is rather limited and superficial, and the platforming sections are rather wooden. It has to be said that I played it many years after its release, and that certainly affects the opinion. Let's just say it hasn't aged well. Unfinished game.

    The combat system is flexible once you understand it and use it wisely. The story is fantastic, and it is great to experience both Sora's and Riku's point of view.    … Expand

    I came into kingdom hearts with no expactations but wow was I absolutly blown away by how quickly I fell in love with it.
    Kingdom hearts 1 is an 8/10, clearly a retro game with problems but overall very fun and filled with charm.

    Chain of memories is a 5/10, the gane has high highs but extremly low lows. The gameplay is very fun but the level design is awful. The story outside the words is great and intresthing with how it plays with memory, but the story in the worlds is horrible, not even voice acted.
    The 358 days movie was the best storytelling out of any kingdom hearts, shame I could not play it.
    Kingdom hearts 2 is a 9.5/10 has become one of my favourite games ever, the sheer fun and variety in gameplay, great story and just some of the best bosses in any game, the only issue I have is with the really amnoying antiform.
    Birth by sleep is s 9/10 game, a new yet familiar gameplay in kingdom hearts with yet so much variety in gameplay and with some spectacular final bosses and s very intresting story.
    Sadly we enf on a sour note as the re:coded movie is way to long and very boring at various points.    … Expand

    The collection offers you some of the most enjoyable games of the franchise, from the first installment and original Kingdom Hearts, to the most critically acclaimed Kingdom Hearts 2. The collection offers a way for new and old players alike to experience the magic that is the Kingdom Hearts series.

    In addition, the collection includes the Final Mix version for Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, providing a more definitive experience packed with a tonne of additional content previously exclusive to their Japanese releases. The game also includes Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, a console port of a GBA title that provides a unique take on the card-battle genre. Finally, the DS games Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded are packaged as movies you can enjoy as a break between the games, providing you additional lore and context to the overarching narratives of the series.

    This collection has value like no other. You get four quality games and two movies in this memorable journey of a game.    … Expand

    I absolutely love kingdom hearts so I may be biased by giving it a 10 but it is a great remaster full of amazing games. It finally brings the superior final mix versions to America for the first time and in a remastered form. The final mix versions add so much to the original ps2 games that it makes the originals inferior in comparison.

It finally brings the superior final mix versions to America for the first time and in a remastered form. The final mix versions add so much to the original ps2 games that it makes the originals inferior in comparison. I do have some complaints like how they made 358/2 and re: coded only movies, I honestly would have liked to see the ds games get remasters like the other games in this collection. Another great inclusion with the final mix version is the inclusion of critical mode which adds a great challenge to kh2, and BBS. Now I'm gonna give a quick review of all the games on this collection (i won't be doing 358/2 and re: coded because I only watch the movies and didn´t play the ds originals so I can't rate them fully.)
    KH1FM: This is a great start to the series, It has a great story that is simple (something that you won´t get in the later games) and the gameplay is great but a bit slow compared to other games like kh2. it has a fine selection of Disney worlds from Hercules to peter pan and even Pinocchio. overall this is a great action RPG 8.5/10.
    KH Re:COM: To be honest I didn´t like this one as much as the other games. I found the card system kind of bad and the combat a bit slow. (i get that the card system works better on the Gameboy advanced original but this is the only version that's available to me at the moment and the only one on this collection.) The story is great and it introduces the best villains of the series in my opinion Organization XII (it only introduced like 5 of them but each of them is great in their own way.) also this is one of two games that makes you revisit all of KH1´s worlds again. Overall not as good as KH1 but it's still a good game just not great 7/10.
    KH2FM: OMG this is my favorite one of the entire series. The story is amazing and the gameplay is one of the best in the series introducing reaction commands and making the gameplay more flashy, fast, and fun. It introduces the rest of Organization XII and has a fantastic selection of Disney worlds from new ones like Mulan and the lion king to old ones like Agrabah and hollow bastion. The introduction of Roxas is cool because he is one of my favorite characters. I have one complaint and that is the introduction which is kinda boring and takes 3 hours long. Overall it is both better than kh1 and definitely better than Re: COM and you can skateboard 10/10.
    KH BBS: This game is great and is one of my favorites. To start it is a prequel to the first kingdom hearts game and you get to see young sora, Riku, and Kairi and see the original normal versions of most of the organization. It has a great cast of main characters and the story is one of the best and probably the most tragic. Now on gameplay ill rate the characters separately because they all have different playstyles. Terra´s gameplay is slow and not fun and makes the bosses more difficult. Ventus is the most like sora in his gameplay so he is fine. Aqua is fun because she is more centered around magic. The command deck is a fine way to replace the magic menu and bar. the shotlocks are fun and do a ton of damage. The D-links are okay. Overall the story is great, the combat is good and I like the characters 8/10. That´s it for this review if you made it all the way here and read this whole thing Thank you, I just wanted to share a review on one of my favorite games and compilations.    … Expand

    Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is perhaps the best action game there is and ever will be, its combat system will stand the test of time infinitely and even now companies still make idiotic mistakes when all they need to do is copy KH2's battle mechanics. 358/2 Days is a perfect story, KH1 is charming and memorable.

    Just wish they had released this collection right away instead of separately doing it for over 5 years with 1.5, then 2.5, then 2.8, and finally this one on PS4.    … Expand

    This is, hands down, the best way to experience Kingdom Hearts. This game has so much content that it is the definitive way to experience. Each of these games have been remaster for HD gaming (at least) and all games on here are there Final Mix versions. If you want to get into the series or are into the series at all, get this game. You won't regret it.

    For fans looking to revisit the series on their current-gen console or a potential newcomer to the series, this is the ultimate compilation. Being able to revisit two of my favourites in the series, KH 2 Final Mix and KH1 Final Mix on my PS4, reminds me why I fell in love with the series.

I can say that making the DS games at the current point as movies for this collection was a smart move and it can give you break from gameplay as intervals but I would play the games/ movies in this order KH 1, 358/2 Days (Movie) as it unlocks some bonus cards in Re: COM, which makes Re: CoM the next game to play then it would be KH2 after KH2 it's off to BBS which is a prequel to KH1 then last Re: Coded which only has like 4 important cutscenes. Now to Judge the Story and Gameplay of each game.

    Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix

    Kingdom Hearts 1 is SImple but yet charming, Its starts you off on beach island and you play as Sora who wields a key shape sword called the Keyblade and to this day I want to know is Sora's hair gel supplier, jokes aside soon you get separated from your friends before you go to a town where you met Donald and Goofy and to me, that's where the real game starts the JRPG is fun, combat is responsive and after visiting some worlds secret bosses will be there. To get to new worlds you have to space missions with your ship which is called a Gummi Ship and some can be frustrating at times but you can make your own version of your ship if you desire

    KH Re: CoM

    Chain of Memories has a different combat system then KH1 you fight with cards and its more of a real-time strategy game than anything you have Sora, Donald and Goofy going through the worlds they visited in the first game through a castle due to having their memories stolen plus a brand new town that you start in KH2. But after you finish the game you unlock a new campaign with Riku, Sora's best friend from the last game, Sora you have to be careful with your cards because you can run out of them but Riku doesn't need to worry about that because he doesn't have custom card decks they are preset ones for each battle. But Re: CoM has some new mysterious characters introduced they claim to be part of an organization called Organization XII (13 if you can't read roman numerals). The Castle is called Castle Oblivion

    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Movie)

    358/2 Days follows a boy name Roxas in the mysterious Organization XII who can also wield the Keyblade, he is the 13th member of this organization and he makes two friends along the way. Xion (14th Member) who also can wield the Keyblade and Axel (8th Membe) who wields Flame Chakrams and you watch how their struggles of everyday life of doing missions for the organization.

    Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix

    Ok so this takes place after Re: CoM and 358/2 Days because those two take place at the same time, you play as Roxas in the Town called Twilight Town and its long prologue that overstays it welcome but after you play that section of the game you go back to Sora so his quest is to defeat Organization XII and find his best friend Riku that went missing, you get to visit new Disney worlds and some returning worlds too, Combat is like number 1 but improved and you have new forms that give you new abilities that keep the game very fresh, Gummi ship levels/missions are back but are more improved this time around.

    Birth by Sleep (BBS)

    BBS has 3 protags Ventus, Aqua and Terra this was originally on the PlayStation PSP and suffered loading times but on the PS4 60FPS and quick loading times has made me like this game a bit better now, you have to play all 3 protags campaign to unlock the last little of the campaign which is annoying tbh, you attack which slots that can be customized to your liking when you buy them at the Moogle shop and you can come up with some crazy combos. But it can get repetitive on your 3rd play through to get the end.

    Re Coded (Movie)

    Mickey is trying to fix Jimmy crickets journal from the first game, they use data sora to debug it the only cutscenes that matter start when it's at Castle Oblivion    … Expand

    Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the definitive collection of 4 classic JRPGs. The story might be the weapon to surpass Metal Gear in terms of convoluted storylines, but its cast of endearing and human characters more than makes up for this.

    As a whole, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is an essential purchase for series fans and newcomers, and represents great value. There may be odd technical issues here and there, and in some parts the gameplay may feel a little dated, but the overall package is as compelling as its first release all those years ago.
