There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Cons:
- The two games included are remastered versions of a PS2 and a PSP game, so the graphical fidelity is low compared to your average modern game. (Though it can be played in 1080p, unlike your average PS3 game.)
- There is no install option, so it suffers from the PS3's blu-ray tech by way of increased load times. This is the sole downgrade from the source games. The only time this is ever really noticeable is when activating drive forms in KHII; in the original game it took about 2 seconds to load, whereas that time is seemingly almost doubled in this version, which is jarring.
- Some of the added content for the "Final Mix" additions don't quite conform to the source material, like using a different voice actor or just having inconsistent text formatting, giving it kind of a DLC-ish feel at times. (Though in general it is admirable how much this is avoided; I can only name a scant few examples.)
That's all I can think of, and those are by and large minor concerns. Don't let that scare you away. In reality, what you are getting is two of some of the best games ever made, for the first time ever overseas in their "Final Mix" expanded forms (previously exclusive to Japan), in 1080p on a home console, on the cheap. And you get a movie version of Re:coded, though that is less notable. The Final Mix additions are very sound, adding new and redesigned content in nearly every facet of the game, for the better.
As for *why* these games are fantastic, they seamlessly blend 3rd person action (think God of War, Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, etc). with RPG (think Final Fantasy, mostly) in entirely unique yet compelling ways while also dishing up a deep and interesting storyline to thread it all along. The games are simply a joy to play, with flashy yet intelligent combat backed up by a deeply compelling RPG progression system and a story that you'll likely get wrapped up in. You might not think a Disney/Final Fantasy crossover universe would even work, much less spawn an engaging world/plot, but it succeeds admirably, especially when supported by the games' stellar soundtrack (which is also remade/enhanced for this version!) The Final Mix additions also go a long way to giving each game more of a 'late-game,' as well, giving you a ton of optional things you can do outside of the main storyline. I could really write an essay on how well-designed each game is, and impressively the two games in it actually feature rather different mechanics entirely, but they both work brilliantly.
(To geek out about the major differences: KHII features one protagonist who can cast spells by depleting MP, enter superpowered 'drive' forms by depleting 'Drive points,' and gains passive abilities he can allocate 'Ability points' to throughout the game, about half of which modify his basic attack chain to be more versatile/powerful; in contrast BBS features three different protagonists/storylines each of whom play differently and can use abilities (spells/special attacks) via 'commands' on their 'command decks' which are limited only by cooldowns, they can combine ("Meld") commands to make new stronger ones, and there is a command bar filled by landing commands and basic attacks; if filled with enough commands of one type you enter a "Style" (rough equivalent of Drive forms from KHII), and if not meeting any Style requirement you execute your finishing move which of course can be upgraded and customized throughout the game. Both games also feature the standard exp/leveling system as well. This is just a very basic overview, there's a lot more depth to these systems than mentioned.)
It is a bit of a shame that the story is rather obtuse if you haven't familiarized yourself with the previous entries in the series (conveniently all bundled into 1.5 HD ReMIX), especially since I feel strongly that these games are much better games overall than the ones in 1.5. But those games are quite good as well, and I'm sure you can still get into it without having played the prior ones, since it does make some effort to catch you up/ease you in (some of the Final Mix additions even add cutscenes to the story to help clarify it!). It's just hard to understate how brilliantly crafted the games in this HD compilation are. If you're on the fence at all, don't be, and just buy this.
Soundtrack: A emotional score that moves from light hearted,to whimsical, or the poignant orchestra of Organization XIII. The music is great.
Gameplay: Play on higher difficulty for a full experience. Combat is fun and increases in complexity as you go on. Easy and Standard mode do not do this game justice. If you're interested in doing more than button mashing play on Proud or above. Fighting the extra bosses is a exercise in frustration and elation. Dying ten times to a boss that you "know" how to bat but simply do not have the stats or abilities to makes victory in the end oh so sweet .
Visuals: Not exactly a next gen sight but the HD remake holds the up. Don't be looking for amazing details and whatever you do don't look at character's mouths. There lies the uncanny valley. Still from the distance of a TV it looks fine and colors and effects are punchy. (The KH 1.5 had colors that were notably off)

Per arrivare ci ha messo diverse settimane, ben più tempo del previsto, inoltre all'arrivo abbiamo avuto la sorpresa della dogana da pagare. Che fosse l'edizione del Regno Unito, lo sapevamo, però il venditore era dato come europeo, cosa che naturalmente non ci ha fatto piacere. Sarebbe stata gradita migliore chiarezza e comunicazione, o almeno un rimborso parziale, perché avremmo preso altrove il gioco se dovevamo pagare la cifra totale pagata.
Ainda tem de sobra o KH 2.5 e o RE:codded!
