Your Key to Unlimited Adventures Lies in the Kingdom Hearts Official Strategy Guide! Kingdom Hearts is a newly created RPG from Squaresoft and Disney. The game combines classic Disney characters and worlds with new characters, FINAL FANTASY characters, and Squaresoft style. The premise revolves around Sora, a boy whose world is shattered when a storm separates him from his friends, Riku and Kairi. Sora begins searching for the two when he meets up with Court Wizard Donald Duck and Captain Goofy, who are also on a search to find their King, Mickey Mouse. The three join forces to rescue their friends and save the universe from The Heartless, the villains behind the storm and disappearances. As players travel through worlds, they will relive their favorite Disney moments from films like Aladdin and Pinocchio while interacting with over 100 Disney characters. The game is being praised for its real-time cinemas, seamless action, and amazing graphics, giving it the feel of a Disney movie come to life. Not Final Cover.

Kingdom Hearts will always have a special place in my heart.

This game guide helped me out while I struggled through Monstro (great brute) and navigated through the underground of Hollow Bastion, met countless characters, and tried to get the secret ending. Even though I've finished the game in every possible way, I'm keeping this one on my shelf.

Thanks for the memories, Nomura-san.

This is a good book if you are trying to find hidden stuff in a 20-year old video game, but not so good if you are going in for an interesting plot or character development. If you want those things, I'd read James Joyce or Charles Dickens or something.

Very helpful guide to this day even with all the remixed versions. Nowadays there might be a chest that’s moved to an EASIER location than what’s specified in the guide.

I've actually read this cover to cover so mine is threatening to fall a part. I love the game and this was actually pretty helpful and came with a dalmatian poster to help you keep track of where you find them at.

The sounds interesting and of course all the different characters and world settings, etc. And let's not exclude the soundtrack. The music is very good. So of course the guide to the game was also pretty good. Same can be said for the art. The drawings especially are well done.
