Strategy Guide Cover of the Week: Kingdom Hearts Throwbacks

By 304 Comments

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix released last month, but the new strategy guide for the game didn’t release until this week. I think it’s best we don’t ask why. I’m sure many thought they wouldn’t need the new strategy guide, especially if you’re like me and you already have guides for the games within. However, a bit has changed about each game, especially Chain of Memories (insert a “well, duh” here), making a new strategy guide a bit of a necessity. I have a lot of nostalgia for the original guides, as the strategy guide for Kingdom Hearts was the first strategy guide I bought after I re-entered the world of gaming with a PS2.

To celebrate the release of the new Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix strategy guide, let’s look at the original strategy guides for Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the two playable games in the collection. Note how well used the original KH guide is below. I even ripped the sucker, which did sprout a couple of tears at the time and a Darth Vader-styled “NOOOOOOOO!”

I can’t lie. I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a more beautiful cover for a strategy guide come across my email ALL YEAR. Piggyback Interactive has really done themselves proud with this artwork. Normally, the hardcovers are very subtle, with raised Assassin’s insignias on white. Those were always gorgeous, but it’s going to be hard to top this one.

I may be reviewing this strategy guide with gloves on so I don’t ruin it with fingerprints! Let’s hope that we can judge this book by its cover, and that the strategy content inside will be just as fantastic as the cover itself.
