This book has been very helpful to help figure out how to figure difficult parts on the first Kingdom Heart 1.5 Remix and the Re-chain of Memories, but sometimes it helps looking at YouTube videos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good

Pretty good guide good quality and looks amazing! Sure there are some things missing from the guide but still the guide does a top-notch job on what it consists of. Sure a guide to the gummi ship mission is missing but looking up one online takes a matter of seconds and since I've done all the missions, it wasn't too difficult going about it this way. The guide does exactly what I expected it to do. For the things that are missing, it takes a matter of seconds to find the info online simple and easy.

I got this to help me with the game. Sure, it's probably already out on the internet from before, but I wanted something in my hands and not on the computer screen. The only times I even use this is whenever I get stuck on certain levels and didn't know what I was supposed to do or look for.

I highly recommend it if you have this game and don't already know what to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collector's item, decent guide
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2013

Here's the bottom line.The guide is really pretty. Design and construction wise, it's fantastic. But as far as the actual content, a lot more could have been done to make it better.

I won't go into all the details, since so many other reviews have already spelled it out, but a lot of information that would have been helpful was not elaborated on in this guide. And if you're like me, trying to get all the trophies for all three games, then you'd be disappointed to know that all they have is a trophy list. No "How-to" thing for getting trophies.

And there's no section for the gummi ship missions. At all. And that is arguably the hardest trophy to get in the entire game (getting every blueprint). The fact that the guide gives you no help for one of the most difficult sections in the game is very subpar.

The Re:CoM section is rather vague. Lines like "Go into the next room, fight the Heartless if you like, then continue on" make it seem like they really only focused on KHFM. And every world in Re:CoM only gets a single page, front and back. There are exceptions, like Olympus Colisuem, but the fact that each section is so short shows how little they actually "guide" you through the game. It's more like bulletpoints for you to follow that you really could've figured out on your own.

The only really helpful parts are for the bosses. This guide helped quite a lot for the Re:CoM bosses, offering great suggestions about what kinds of cards or sleights will be most effective for winning. If they had showed more of this kind of helpfulness for the rest of the content, it would have been awesome.

Basically, if you're like me and mostly just want this as a collector's item to stare at and hold and maybe occasionally get a hint or two while playing, then yes, get it. It's really really well crafted and the hardcover is gorgeous.

But if you only want this as a walkthrough to help you 100% the game, don't. There are free guides on the internet that offer far better assistance with all the most difficult parts of the games. Simple as that.

Bought this for my boyfriend's birthday gift and he loved it. It's an extremely detailed, very nicely put together strategy guide. It's also hardcover which is interesting since I don't think I've ever seen an sg come in hardcover before.
Definitely if you're needing a guide this will probably suit you well enough. Or if you're just a fan/collector I think you'll like it as well!

3.0 out of 5 stars Spoilers and Very Little New Information
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2013

For those that don't know, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX was a compilation of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re: Chain of Memories, and a movie version of 358/2 Days. Chain of Memories is exactly the same game as the PS2 port of the same name released in the US in 2008 in HD. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix is the original Kingdom Hearts (released for PS2 in 2002) with a few extra enemies, revamped synthesis, an extra boss, and more weapons and accessories. The Final Mix version of the game was never released in the outside Japan until this compilation. Keep this in mind while looking through the rest of this review.

--Kingdom Hearts Final Mix--
As I mentioned above, the Final Mix version has some new features but is overall the same game from before. When buying this guide, I was expecting a fair amount of copying and pasting because of this. What I was hoping was that the writers would at least make an effort to update the existing text with the new information.

What's Included/Updated
- Boss strategy for the new secret boss, "The Unknown"
- Synthesis recipe list
- List of new special enemies

What's NOT Included
- Synthesis ingredient list
- Strategies for new special enemies
- Gummi ship missions
- Gummi blueprint list

There could be other items I could add to the lists, but I haven't yet dived into the Trinity list nor the Dalmatian list (both had minor changes in the Final Mix versions). I will update this review when I know for sure on these two items and others.

One major issue for me is the lack of information on the new enemies. These new enemies aren't just normal hack-and-slash kills. Most of them require a strategy to kill or get their special item to drop. This guide not only doesn't have the strategy, in most cases it doesn't even mention which item they drop! The small list of the new enemies has "Special Item" listed for most of the enemies as their drop. Not very helpful!

--Spoilers Abound--
Just in case you haven't played through the rest of the series, I'll be careful with my wording here.

Though not mentioned in game, the new secret boss in the Final Mix is referred to by his actual name in the guide. Very silly in my opinion as it can give away a little. This is a minor gripe though.

If you haven't played Chain of Memories and bought this guide to help you through it, I highly recommend NOT reading the Characters section of the Chain of Memories guide. This section gives away major (in my opinion) plot points which should be left for the player to discover. One particular character's bio even gives away a minor Kingdom Hearts 2 plot point! Why the author(s) thought this was okay is beyond my comprehension.

Even in the middle of the walkthroughs it's pretty lined out as to what happens in the game. Don't read ahead with this guide or risk being spoiled to the story ahead.

--Conclusion--
Obviously if you need a guide for this game you're going to want to get this, but know that it's not exactly complete. My guide came with a code for the eGuide on Prima's website so it's POSSIBLE that the eGuide will be updated with the desired information. I'm not sure if the code for the eGuide is available to everyone or just a Pre-Order type of bonus.

Many people, myself included, mostly just collect strategy guides for the artwork contained within. This guide doesn't have an artwork section like some guides do, but it does have some artwork scattered throughout.

If you're looking for a good STRATEGY guide for the new enemies and such, I recommend looking to other (free) websites such as GameFAQs.

It's nice to have a bit of the new stuff in one place, but it sure would have been nice to have it all in there.

With as many times as this guide's release date was pushed back (over a month) I would have thought these issues would have been noticed or fixed.

--Rating--
3 out of 5 for the fact that the strategy guide is a walkthrough for the two games, but it lost some stars due to the amount of missing information.

Here's to the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMIX guide being more useful.

Definitely buy this if you are a Kingdom Hearts fan. The guide is very nice. The only drawback is that it could use a bit more information. I had to google where to obtain certain items for the ultima weapon and for strategies on defeating the new tough enemies that appear in certain worlds such as the pot scorpion. Overall, a must have for fans.

I bought this to go along side my copy of KH HD 1.5 Remix.
I have nothing to say but good things about this product.

The overall presentation of the book is incredible, it's asethetically pleasing to the eye and it's a pleasure to even just flick through the pages. The fact it's hard back makes the quality even better.

If you're wanting just some help with the game, or wanting to not missing out on anything the game has to offer, this book is amazing! Even if you just want something to "complete" the KH set, this book is such a good purchase.

I like it very much. You have to be good in english to understand everything or you use translaters for it.
