Kingdom Hearts II managed all of the extra lore fine, but Birth by Sleep adds so many new elements to the overall plot (more clones, body possession, Keyblade wars, overly complicated plots by bad guys) that it all becomes hard to follow. With these games, the series’ story became a bit of a mess. Other memorable characters like Axel and DiZ also help to make the plot more interesting.
It also features the neatest Disney worlds in the series, especially ones based on the live-action film Tron and another on the classic, black-and-white Mickey Mouse cartoons of the ’20s and ’30s.Īlso, while the original Kingdom Hearts had a pretty straightforward plot (defeat darkness and restore light, blah blah blah), the sequel expands the world beyond Disney and Final Fantasy cameos, especially with the addition of the tragic character of Roxas. It’s still an exciting RPG with tons of over-the-top abilities, challenging bosses, and lots of extra things to discover. Luckily, not only does the HD remake look fantastic, but the base experience holds up very well. Kingdom Hearts II was my favorite entry in the series. They also run smoothly, with few glitches or performance drops. Kingdom Hearts II looks as good as most PlayStation 3 games, and the music for each of these sounds great thanks to some added orchestral elements. Kingdom Hearts II came out for the PlayStation 2 in 2006, Birth by Sleep originally hit the PlayStation Portable back in 2010, and Re:coded was a 2011 DS remake of a mobile game that previously appeared in Japan (unlike the others, only Re:coded’s cutscenes are a part of the HD collection).Įach game has received noticeable visual upgrades.
