Since the series' introduction back in 2002, Kingdom Hearts has become one of the top RPG franchises currently running. Despite its odd concept of Disney-meets-Final Fantasy, it has held gamers' interest with its intriguing stories, lovable characters, and action-packed gameplay.

Two really fun games; Final Mix improvements; epic stories; graphics that hold up well; beautiful music; trophy inclusion

358/2 Days isn't an actual game; Riku's story isn't fun at all; occasional bad voice acting

Crisp, colorful, and still enchanting, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is almost everything you could want from an HD remake of the original Kingdom Hearts. The Disney-themed RPG that first introduced the world to keyblade-wielding hero Sora on the PlayStation 2 has been spruced up with stunning HD...

HD makeovers; Two great games; UI improvements

Camera still wonky; Cumbersome Gummi ship

Still, the value proposition of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX is undeniable. Square Enix has crafted a remarkable package with loving adoration for its source material and, with Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, enough new content and changes to give loyalists like me a fresh experience.

Gorgeous in 1080p; Attention to detail in remaster; Final Mix content

358/2 Days: Why is it here; Chain of Memories remaster is less impressive

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix (KH1.5HD) is a culmination of good, better, best, and that's a formula you'd be hard pressed to beat. KH1.5HD is compilation collection of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories and an almost 3 hour theatrical telling of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

+ Love the worlds; + Translates well to HD; + So much charm

Camera is still bothersome; Vehicle segments

Before Kingdom Hearts came along, square Enix and Disney weren't exactly what you would think of as a perfect match. You'd never think the contrasting styles of the two companies would work in perfect harmony with one another, but Square Enix and Disney mash up Kingdom Hearts proved us all wrong...

For a year while attending UCF , I worked at Disney World; it was one of the better jobs I held throughout college. This is why I have a special place in my heart for all things Disney, including Kingdom Hearts .

Some of my fondest memories were spent with the Kingdom Hearts series. Growing up equal parts Disney-kid and action-adventure fan, I was ecstatic when Kingdom Hearts was announced, and enthralled for weeks on end when it finally reached my disc tray.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX contains Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts RE:Chain of Memories, and HD cinematics from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. So two games that have been remastered, and cinematics remastered from another game.
