Product Description

US Version

The Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide was published by BradyGames, which also published the strategy guides for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Two versions of this guide were released: a standard and limited edition.

The limited edition version of this strategy guide comes boxed in a cardboard jacket that houses both the guide itself and Jiminy's Journal, an illustrated compilation of the material contained within its in-game counterpart that includes a sheet of stickers usable for marking obtained journal entires.

UK Version

The Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide was released in the United Kingdom by Piggyback Interactive. It took seven months to develop and was said to contain "original and exclusive artwork." However, this was absent from the final guide.
