A book all about Kingdom Hearts II. This book serves as both a strategy guide and an artbook. It contains artwork for everysingle boss, enemy, and character you will encounter in Kingdom Hearts II. It has well detailed maps for each world in the game and it talks about everything from the Gummi Ship to the various Drive Forms. But if you haven't beaten Kingdom Hearts II yet or if you have just started playing it you might want to be careful with this book since it is loaded with spoilers. Other than that I recommend this to all people that are Kingdom Hearts fans.
Japanese Get this, if and only if, you can read japanese. I'm sure this is a great source of information to the KH2 game, but thats all it is. There is NOT enough art in this thing to warrant a purchase for fans of the art work. So my review isn't really on the product itself, but as a product for the american Kingdom Hearts 2 fan.
If you're looking for the english equivalent of this product, just go look for the "Kingdom Hearts 2 Limited Edition Official Strategy Guide" distributed by BradyGames. It has all of the info you need for the game and plenty of art work.
Again, if you can read japanese and fan of the franchise, go ahead and get it. It is, afterall, a really big book for KH2. But there are plenty of factors as to why that might be that I'd rather not go into.

product review The ultimania is very nice. I details everything to the letter. There is pages upon pages of character bio's and even a world by world scenario description. I recommend this to any die-hard Kingdom Hearts fan. The art in the book alone is enough reason to purchase this item.
PLay-Asia was also very awesome at shipping and handleing my item. Great job.

No title I received my copy of KH2 ultimania just a few days ago, and in order to prevent too much from being spoiled, I haven't looked through the book too much. However, from what I have seen, the book is a great resource of information (assuming you can read japanese), and has a variety of interesting tid bits concerning Kingdom Hearts 2. Maps of every area in the game,, character profiles, story panels that show the order of events in the game...etc.
The thick book (over 700 pages!) has become a bible of sorts to me. I love the Kingdom Hearts franchise and give full props for this japanese strategy guide (even if only for novelty sake).
Also, I really enjoyed the fast, reliable service Play-Asia offered. I got the book a lot sooner than expected and in great condition. I will definatly use Play-Asia for all my importing needs in the future!
