The Kingdom Hearts franchise started life as a curious beast when it released on PlayStation 2 back in 2002. It combined characters from the Final Fantasy franchise with characters from Disney properties and created a fun and, at the time, fresh JRPG experience.

Helps pad out the lore; The bits using the Kingdom Hearts 3 Engine Look Nice; Dream Drop Distance is ported well; A great bundle for series diehards

Voice over work is fairly poor; Gameplay can be lacklustre at points; Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover isn't; Not very accessible to series newcomers

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is the most far-reaching package of content in the franchise, stretching from the series' earliest moments all the way to its most recent, but an understanding of its scope requires some history with Kingdom Hearts lore.

It's raining Sora and Riku!

A fragmented passage | Good visuals | Spirit system | Unlockable themes upon completion

Camera controls in DDS | A bit too short | Not major value for money

I bought this mainly for Kingdom Hearts 0.2. A prologue game to Kingdom Hearts 3 - using the same game engine as 3 will use. This by itself, although it's only a few hours long, is more than worth it. Looks and plays stunningly and is already very polished.

"Don't let the convoluted title fool you. It's worth the play, even if you're new to the franchise."

With Kingdom Hearts 3 all but a flickering star on the horizon, Square Enix has worked to ensure that anticipation remains high for the impending third chapter by releasing two back-to-back compilations bursting with content.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is made up of three parts. Hitching a ride on the Kingdom Hearts wagon this far into the journey brought a steep learning curve. For beginners, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 is comprised of three parts. And not three chronological parts.

Most satisfying! This is the standard edition I bought, but it was and still is worth it! Yes, this is where the series takes a move downhill in the story, but the gameplay should keep you on the very long journey ahead of you!
