The Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide (titled The Complete Guide in the United Kingdom) is a guidebook for Kingdom Hearts II.
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. Various covers were made for the limited edition version of the Kingdom Hearts II strategy guide; each features Sora in one of his Drive Forms.
