for a first playthrough, standard difficulty felt too easy, but proud mode felt too hard, and in the wrong ways - the ease with which you can get oneshot is just not fun, and makes it difficult to even understand what you did wrong, particularly when it's from something offscreen. i could see proud mode as a rewarding experience once you've learned the game and know what to expect, but man, i'm not putting up with the disney bullshit a second time lol. Not For Me

Kingdom Hearts 1
Man. Just man. Lots of times I've played this game over but, going for the 100% with the platinum was one hell of a crazy grind. One of the hardest trophies I've had the pleasure achieving. Oh and critical was also pretty crazy.
Kingdom Hearts 2
Second half of this game isn't something I'm strongly fond of but the story (hard as it may be to follow) is a good addition to the first Kingdom Hearts. Excited to finally get to KH3 and confuse myself even more. PS~ KH1 is better.

-Kingdom Hearts Final Mix-
What is Final Fantasy and Disney made a game thats amazing and I love it so much. Replaying the game again felt like a breath of fresh air, this truly is one of my favourite series of all time.
-Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories-
I am not a fan of the gameplay plain and simple, not to mention it's just KH1 gameplay with a card mechanic shoved in. This game would've been vastly better if it was similar to an RPG but still used the cards, besides from that the characters are great and lovable, even the story is great.
-Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days-
With this just being some of the cutscenes updated to HD, it lacks depth when it decides to just scroll text saying what happens, but when it does decide to show the cutscenes they really are great, the relationship between Roxas, Axel and Xion is one of the best.
-Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix-
My favourite game on the PS2, I can vividly remember playing this game over and over for months, everything about it is improved and better than 1, a perfect game in the perfect series. This game was already perfect enough, and then they had even more content? Crazy. More bosses, harder challenges, they just keep improving on everything. All-time favourite in the series.
-Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix-
This was pretty ambitous game, 3 full story modes plus 2 secret chapters, that and including all the collectibles to do thats hundreds of hours of content. Ventus, Aqua and Terra's storys are all really enjoyable and fun to play, this game is a great addition to the series.
-Kingdom Hearts Re:coded-
Simliar to 358/2 Days, they just took some of the cutscenes and made them HD, again I feel like this could of been done better though.

Without a doubt, this is one of the biggest bangs for your bucks (or pounds or whatever) when it comes to Kingdom Hearts collections.
You're getting four games to play: the ever so humble beginnings of Kingdom Hearts, the card filled craziness of Re:Chain of Memories, the incredible highs of Kingdom Hearts II and the prequel (before the real prequel came along anyway) that is Birth by Sleep and even movie versions of both the DS's 358/2 Days and Re:Coded too (although Re:Coded is really snooze worthy, easily the weakest link of this collection).
Overall, this is a solid set of games and worth having in your collection.
