That is why I love Game Informer not those COD apes over at IGN.

Lol. The guy reviewing it for IGN loves it.

[Soravids 1,056]

Game informer gave it 9 and not a 10....

[Sora96 17,256]

Game informer gave it 9 and not a 10....

 

And they pointed out why.

[Soravids 1,056]

And they pointed out why.

Yeah and it was a bad reason.

In your opinion.

[Skhyatze 165]

I wanna see someone give it a trash rating for some reason. Want someone to tear it apart. I love the game but that would be a funny review.

Is 7.0 trash to you?

[King_Graham 135]

7/10 is not trash. So these are all very good reviews.

ActionTrip's comment.

 

"The Final Mix of KH 2 contains new pieces in the super secret movie ending (which still sucks to obtain), new secret optional bosses, and the Roxas/Riku fight is now an actual boss battle instead of a cut scene. "

 

So, Roxas is Riku's nobody now, huh?

[John Casey 25]

The overly defensive kingdom hearts fantards cometh.

 

Honestly, it's not like SE is paying you to act as their spokesman.  Enjoy the game, and don't be a tool.

I'm actually surprised IGN's score isn't listed here.

[Skhyatze 165]

Is 7.0 trash to you?

No. That is a good rating is you ask me. A trash one would be like 2/10. 

[EricBwn 86]

If they have separate trophy lists I'll buy them again for my PS4. 

 

EDIT: This is not where I meant to post this, sorry.

I've never been so calmly angry in my life....

8.4 is a pretty nice score.

[AaySquare 445]

8.4 is a pretty nice score.

They gave HD 1.5 Remix 8.5. How can HD 2.5 Remix get 8.4 considering the fact that it has the 2 best Kingdom Hearts games in it. And Square Enix surely put in a lot of effort on improving the HD quality compared to 1.5.

Different reviewers. Actually 2.5 was simply A LOT easier to remaster since they still have all the assets and the games already looked better plus they had the experience of HD development after 1.5.

That is very true but they still took longer time to release it.

No they didn't actually. 1.5 began development in 2011. 2.5 began in 2013.

It's a pretty simple mistake to make. KH2FM added the fight between Roxas and Riku as a cutscene as well as  made the fight between Sora and Roxas playable

Holy shit! That is facepalm-worthy. Yeah, a simple mistake, but not one that you make after playing the game. Edited December 11, 2014 by Andrew Rowland
