After purchasing and playing KINGDOM HEARTS, I got addicted. However, after advancing rather quickly in the game, I got stuck between Monstro and Atlantica. I scoured the Internet, but it soon became a hassle to visit the net anytime that I reached a point I couldn't get past. So, I broke down and purchased the Official Strategy Guide. I'm really glad that I did. This is an awesome strategy guide! Without it, I would not have beaten Kingdom Hearts. The information contained within has also helped me beat 2 out of the 4 super bosses (I have yet to beat The Phantom and Sephiloth). Advanced gamers may not find this book useful, but just about everyone else who plays Kingdom Hearts will.

This is one great guide book! Extremely helpful and useful. Really good especially when you need to synthesis something! Hardcore gamers might not like it as much but for those other non-hardcore gamers, it will become you're best friend while playing Kingdom Hearts II. It makes the game easier to finish but not necessarily easier to play. But still, it's awesome! For me, it made the game more fun.

It's also a full color paged book so that's pretty cool and it has bits of info about the characters which is also pretty cool. So overall it's an awesome guide and very useful!
