by Rainier on Oct. 6, 2010 @ 12:56 p.m. PDT

Set after the conclusion of Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded offers an exciting new adventure as you revisit events and characters from the previous Kingdom Hearts games in order to solve the mystery discovered by Jiminy Cricket.

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 did it get there? King Mickey is determined to find out, so he and his friends decide to digitise 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.
 
With new game mechanics, a variety of different play systems and a custom avatar system, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded looks set to be another colourful and fun-filled Kingdom Hearts adventure.
 
Larry Sparks, Vice President Brands PAL Regionof Square Enix Ltd. comments, “The Kingdom Hearts series goes from strength to strength and Re:coded is another smash hit with an intriguing mystery to solve and plenty of fun along the way.”

Not long after Sora’s second journey has come to a close, Jiminy is flipping through the two journals that chronicle their adventures when he discovers a mysterious message in one of them: Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it.

To uncover the message’s secrets, the King and friends decide to digitize the journal for further analysis. However, they are alarmed to discover the “datascape” inside the journal has been overrun by bugs. Now, it is up to the Data-Sora recorded in the journal’s pages to eliminate these bugs as he embarks on an adventure of his very own.
