Although I already knew this, there are a lot of people that do not. One thing that annoyed me quite a bit was that the cover fails to make it clear that 358/2 Days is not included as a full game but as a long movie. This is quite noticeable and gives the game a fresh feel. Since the assets for the games were not available, they had to be created from scratch. Both the games and the cutscenes have been completely remastered in HD and look glorious and obviously better than their previous counterparts. The Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX contains the first Kingdom Hearts game, the PS2 remake of Chain of Memories (which continues the story from the first game and leads into the second), and all the cutscenes of the Nintendo DS game, 358/2 days, which tells the story of Roxas, a core character in the second game. For old fans, this is a nostalgic ride that I can bet they are more than willing to take. This HD collection is your gate pass to the magical world of Kingdom Hearts if you haven’t been there already. There are a lot of gamers out here who are not familiar with the Kingdom Hearts series and find it difficult to enter it’s magical world as the old games are hard to come by and the number of spin-offs is too overwhelming.

Disney, with it’s fantastic animated movies, and Square Enix, with it’s history of great JRPGs, together came up with Kingdom Hearts, this beloved franchise that has spawned a number of games, a few mangas and a large, loving fanbase.
