Review & Description
Sora's journey in Kingdom Hearts II has drawn to a close, and now a new tale is set to begin. Jiminy Cricket is looking over the journal he used to document his first adventure with Sora when he discovers a mysterious message. He didn't write it - so how on earth did it get there? King Mickey is determined to find out, so he and his friends decide to digitize the journal and delve into its deepest secrets. Inside this “datascape” dwells a second Sora who is about to embark on a grand adventure of his very own.
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded is a unique Kingdom Hearts adventure for play on Nintendo DS and DSi. A retelling of the earlier episodically released Japanese title, Kingdom Hearts Coded, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded contains all eight episodes of the previous game on a single game cartridge. The game is an engrossing mix of gameplay types, including turn-based RPG, RTS, action and side-scrolling platforming. Other features and functionality include: diverse and entertaining boss battles, over 800 unlockables, auto-aim functionality and more.

Story
Following the events of Kingdom Hearts II all appears well in King Mickey's realm, but is it?
With Organization XIII defeated and order restored to the worlds, it was just another day in the Kingdom until Jiminy Cricket noticed lines in his journal that he did not write. Realizing these to be computer like "bugs" in the journal, King Mickey calls upon a digitized version of Sora for help. The only person that can be counted on to save the glitch-filled worlds, in the datascape Sora discovers a truth that not only links him to the past, but also opens the door to his next journey...
Gameplay
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded tasks you with debuging/clearing bad data from the game journal by defeating enemies and completing objectives. The journal contains several worlds which must be explored in doing this. Different, or at least varied rules exist in each of these worlds, which in turn require varied types of gameplay for success. Gameplay types encountered include: adventure play, turn-based RPG play, side-scrolling platforming and turn-based battles. Throughout these, players utilize a variety of features and functionality including Sora's Key Blade, auto-aim, special abilities/attacks and unlockables acquired through successful combo execution, which together make Kingdom Hearts Re:coded the perfect game for both longtime fans of the Kingdom Hearts franchise and those coming to it for the first time.
