However, Kingdom Hearts II takes everything to a whole new level by introducing the menacing but mysterious Organization XIII. The original Kingdom Hearts had an epic story of its own, but mostly stayed pretty self-contained with the core cast and the Disney related storylines. In addition, the star studded voice cast is back again with an even more improved sound mix on the originals, which is especially important on the transition from the handhelds to the console. From the exquisite score to the opening “Sanctuary” and “Simple & Clean,” the soundtrack is a pure joy to listen to. The visuals are not the only improvements found due to the capabilities of the PlayStation 3, as the sound is as impeccable as ever. From the inside of Cinderella’s Castle to the impressive Dwarf Woodlands, it is fantastic to see the full potential of Birth By Sleep’s previously handheld-exclusive settings. Thanks to Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, players are finally able to experience these locations on something larger than a tiny PSP screen for the first time, and they look beautiful. Even better, players can switch between games rather easily and in a matter of seconds.Īfter years of visiting many of the same old locations in the spinoff titles, Birth By Sleep offered brand new locations like KHII did, including Enchanted Dominion, Dwarf Woodlands, Deep Space, and more.
Rather than splitting across a number of discs, this collection holds all three within one Blu-Ray, with all three being able to be accessed with ease. Similar to the first HD collection, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX offers two full games, Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, for players to enjoy, along with a full set of completely remastered and updated cutscenes from a third game, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded to be specific. Following last year’s excellent remaster, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX arrives, bringing a few of the most well received and ambitious entries in the franchise back to life while looking better than ever. Gamers have been anxiously awaiting the release of the next entry with Kingdom Hearts III, but in the meantime, Square Enix has focused on bringing the original lineup of games to the PlayStation 3 through HD collections allowing gamers to catch up on the events of the past in advance of the conclusion of the epic trilogy.
Combining Final Fantasy, the most popular RPG series of all time, with the wonderful world of Disney may have once sounded like a crazy idea, but with the release of Kingdom Hearts in 2002, the two brands were brought together almost perfectly.
