    Closing Comments Look, if you're sick of Kingdom Hearts filler games, I don't blame you. But Kingdom Hearts Re:coded may actually get you back in the spirit. The game feels like classic Kingdom Hearts, and it stars all the characters that made me like the first game. I had fun the entire time because the game kept giving me something new to do. The story is pretty meh, up until the end when you get sneak peeks into what the next two games will be about. Read more

    I'm getting a little tired of all these filler Kingdom Hearts games. Don't get me wrong, I love the series. But every time a new one comes out I can't help but think, "Just give me Kingdom Hearts 3 already!" What makes Kingdom Hearts Re:coded interesting is that this should have been a game we got years ago as an episodic cell phone game. Read more

    Despite this, at about 25 hours, it feels like this game takes an awfully long time to tell a short and shallow story. The punch picks up at the very end, but the majority of it feels like a slow retread of old territory without much new information to impart. Once you finish the game, there are additional debugging challenges to take on, trophies to earn, and a "secret" ending movie to unlock that leads to the next chapter. Read more

    • Smart and satisfying keyblade combat, In-engine story sequences look and sound great, New gameplay modes offer nice change of pace.
    • Camera and controls can make platforming miserable, Worlds are small and bland, Shallow narrative only serves up rewards at the very end.

    Kingdom Hearts Re:coded has recently hit stores as a Nintendo DS remake of the fourth game in the series. The original Kingdom Hearts coded was previously a Japan-exclusive episodic mobile phone game, which Re:coded collates and upgrades with new graphics, completely new gameplay and a new secret ending.
