What is Kingdom Hearts?<\/p>\n

Surely everyone\u2019s heard of Kingdom Hearts\u2014it\u2019s been around since 2002. Well, just in case\u2026<\/p>\n

Then add in amazing<\/a> original characters, a sprawling story and a generous sprinkle of Tetsuya Nomura magic, and what you get is an incredible action-RPG series that\u2019s quite unlike any other series out there.<\/p>\n
