The Collector's Edition of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix includes the game discs for that title as well as its predecessor, 2013's Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, in a Steelbook case adorned with artwork from Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura. Just like exit rows on an airplane, the closest one may be behind you.Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix is set for release next month on PlayStation 3, and publisher Square Enix has put together a special edition that's packed with games and physical goodies, the company announced today.
The suddenly shifting perspective makes using the lock-on button to locate enemies an imperative. The real-time combat and RPG elements are still as fun as they were 11 years ago… however, the camera is still as wild and wonky as it was back then, too. The interface has been tweaked slightly to bring it more in line with Kingdom Hearts II, but otherwise the experience remains unchanged – for better and worse. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that this is a remastering of the original, not a remake.
From the gorgeous opening cutscene that sets the story and mood for what’s to follow, Kingdom Hearts’ transition to PS3 is seamless. Kingdom Hearts proper, on the other hand, has never looked or played better than it does in HD 1.5 Remix. But given that 358/2 Days is the weakest of the three games, not to mention the one with the least amount of Disney goodness, and I’m not too bummed out that it’s not included. Anyone who purchases this compilation expecting to get a HD remake of the DS experience for PS3 will be greeted with nearly three hours of angsty cutscenes about eating ice cream on rooftops (among other story beats) and text wrap-ups of each mission. Here’s what the 1.5 pack entails: a remastered version of the excellent Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, (an edition previously released in Japan with additional cutscenes and content) an HD remake of its direct sequel, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and the nonplayable cutscenes and story text from the Nintendo DS’s Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.My quibble on the last one is that it’s not exactly clear from the box text that 358/2 Days isn’t a playable game.
