    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 favorites in the series, KH 2 Final Mix and Birth by Sleep Final Mix along on my PS4, reminds me why I fell in love with the series.

    For those interested in JRPGs, but aren’t fans of turn-based combat, or for those who would like to play more games like Final Fantasy XV, you can’t beat Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix.

    A great collection properly remastered for the PS4 (the 60 fps really uplift the flow of the battles) with tons of content that will keep you occupied for days upon days!

    If you bought them on PS3, the 60fps might not be enough to buy Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX. But if you want to own the franchise on a single platform, play it again before Kingdom Hearts 3 launches or if you have never heard about the Keyblade or the Heartless, this is a must buy.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMix Collection is the definitive edition of the Disney X Square Enix saga, waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is a quality compilation that will ease newcomers into the series, but be warned that there’ll still be more content you need to pay for in order to fully catch up with the story. And if you’ve already played through the PS3 ports, I’d skip this one and check out 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue instead, or just wait for the inevitable 1.5 + 2.5 + 2.8 compilation right before Kingdom Hearts 3 finally sees the light of day.

    It was a nice change to see them include a lot more (which i believed was included in the ps3 re-release)

    Great value, especially if you're new to the world of Kingdom Hearts.

    The games haven't aged as well as I remember, and I'd all but forgotten about the frustrating camera, but generally they're still very entertaining. The sprinkle of Disney magic here is pretty unique in video gaming, and a lot of it will bring a broad smile to your face if you're a fan of either the classic or newer Disney movies.

    My previous experience of Kingdom Hearts was of only the first game and its numbered sequel on the PS2 - the other games included in the collection are handheld games which bridge the gaps of the occasionally convoluted plot (that's the Final Fantasy universe for you).

    At the price I paid (£33), you get 100+ hours of entertainment, remastered in HD. If you're a fan of Final Fantasy, or Disney - or especially if you're a fan of both - then you should give this a go. If, like me, you played the original games a decade ago, they are definitely worth revisiting.

Worry not! This compilation in combination with 'Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue' offers the perfect way to catch up on the story of one of the most beloved series in gaming history up to this point for quite a decent price. There were some issues when the game first launched mainly due to the 60 frames per second upgrade (excessively fast animations, save crashes and some others); however, Square Enix have thus far been proactive on these issues -- introducing 2 patches within the last two weeks leading up to the English release proving they have indeed listened to community feedback. So far, I have had a flawless experience with this game! The 60 frames per second is smooth and works really well in this entry just as well as it did in Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Dream Drop Distance.

Would be a 10/10, but the polish is lost slightly outside of KH1FM & KH2FM. Expand

First in the beginning, it made me run from battle. My wooden sword was unable to damage the heartless DISPITE other characters being able to damage them with wooden weapons. (I NEVER run from battle) And second, and the most important... Infinite enemies. Having infinite enemies is neither clever nor is it good game design. You just made combat pointless, congratz. I was in less them 2 hours in and I was done. I really wanted to like this game, A friend of mine loves it (no accounting for taste) And the trailer for 3 looks great. But sadly they demonstrated they weren't interested in actually making a good game. Then there was the forced mini game. In the beginning you participate in a race and evan when its clear you lost you simply cant give up, you're forced to finish. Again bad game design. The main weapon is silly, a giant key?! ... that they call a blade? when its clearly a mace at best.. The camra controls are terrible and WILL get you killed/make you life hell. really I could go on, but this game was just poor and lazy. Expand
