1001 video games you must play before you die

I don't know if this is known or not but i couldn't find a post about it. Kingdom Hearts made it into the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die!!

Here's the article:

Spoiler Show

Kingdom Hearts

Original Release Date: 2002
Platform: PS2
Developer: Square
Genre: Action/Role-playing

A merging of the crowd-pleasing worlds of Square's RPG catalogue and Disney's priceless cast of characters. Kingdom Hearts was perhaps inevitable- but that doesn't mean that the end result isn't personable, colorful and rather wonderful as well.

A complex RPG and a best selling series in its own right, Kingdom Hearts tells the story of Sora, a young boy gifted with a magical weapon called the Keyblade,which he must use to fight off the Heartless, a sinister group of shadowy beings. Teaming up with the likes of Donald Duck and Goofy, Sora sets off on an epic quest to save his world from destruction.

With lavish art and an epic, rather grown-up storyline that regularly deals with themes of death and sacrifice, as well as finding room for a dizzying number of Disney cameos, is hardly a shock that Kingdom Hearts was a massive hit when it launched on the PS2. Since then, as is Square's way, it's spawned an unlikely muddle of genuine sequels and oddball offshoots, including a series of increasingly strange titles for the mobile phone market.

I can't say i disagree. Kingdom Hearts is honestly one of the best video games ive ever played. very well thought out, and incredibly different from any other game ive seen.

Anybody ever think that even attempting to play those 1001 games before you die would cause you to die from homelessness?

when the first time I heard about KH, I thought the mix of Final Fantasy and Disney will be a disaster but Square proof me wrong.
It was one of the most amazing game I've ever played, very well thought concept and flawless execution. Of course It was in the book
