Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories is a flawed but amazing game. Within the Kingdom Hearts franchise this game takes place before the story went crazy and still somewhat grounded as much as Darkness can be grounded. During this game you’ll see characters interact in ways the other Kingdom Hearts games haven’t done since this game. As for the gameplay.. It is very slow at the begging, however it is very much compelling to gain combos and new abilities throughout the game. Once you hit a certain point and you put in a little bit of time into this gameplay. You’ll be rocking and enjoying building your decks. As for everything else.. its a Kingdom Hearts game. High quality is the norm.

While the disc arrived fine, the case was shoved in a small bubble mailer, which damaged the plastic and the game’s artwork. Disappointed, as this would otherwise have been a great buy. Now I’ll have to try and find a replacement case for the disc and manual.

With Kingdom Hearts 3D on the way, I wanted to buy this game to help recapture the spirit before going on to the next installment of Kingdom Hearts. I like how it was transferred over to PS2 from GBA, because in the GBA version, you only had 4 buttons, and transferring it over to PS2 makes it much easier to play. I also enjoyed having the option to go into the theater to view my favorite scenes. The game also includes a story called "Reverse/Rebirth" which lets you play as Riku. I found the story quite useless to the story, but if it's included in a game that's mandatory to the timeline, it doesn't really matter. The game must have been done in a hurry, because the cutscenes are poor in graphic quality. I had to skip most of the cutscenes because more than half consist of cutsenes consist of reading text boxes, which is rather boring. And the only scenes worth watching are scenes seen in Castle Oblivion and the scenes seen in between floors in the Castle. This game may not be high on the list of good Kingdom Hearts games, but Sora's story is crucial to understand the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2. It's not as good as Kingdom Hearts 1 or Birth by Sleep, but it's a nice game. I wouldnt buy it again but losing games and buying them again just isn't something I do. Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories is better than the original in my opinion because it tells the same story and the graphics aren't top notch, but what can you expect from a game that was made just because Nomura didn't like how the original didn't have 3D graphics.Read full review
This 3rd game in the Kingdom Hearts Series to grace the PS2 is actually the second game in the storyline. Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories is a revamped version of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Introuducing a new battle system and a remade mini game system RE: Chain of Memories fills in many gaps between KH1 and KH2, it is also the first apperance of the strange Orginization XIII. The graphics have been reprocessed for the PS2 and while they have tweaked a few things they didn't take care of some other things. The Card type battle system while new has it's downfalls such as you don't choose how you attack you must leave it to the cards, same with magic and summons...However any fan of the series should purchase this if you didn't play it on GameBoy Advanced. Overall a fun addition the the already near perfect Kingdom Hearts Universe.Read full review
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories for the Playstation 2 wasn't a bad game. The story is pretty good, it develops as you go through the floors. I think the reason why they stuck to the card based turn system is cause of the Game Boy format, it adds to the fun of the game. Once I got it figured out it was pretty easy. The card system is not that bad if you build up your CP then you can do the same hits as you did KH 1 and 2. You can even use magic and sleights that make battling fun and a little different. You get to visit worlds from KH 1 and there are the Nobody's from KH 2 are in it as well. Plus you don't get to be a merman in Atlantica you get to be yourself and breath underwater, much easier then in KH 1. Plus once you beat Sora's story you get to play Riku's story as well. I liked how they tie in 1 & 2 through this game, and give a little more to the back story. I wished they would have came out with this after 1 cause this would have made a good 2nd and then the 3rd one. If your new to the series, I would say buy all 3 and play them one by one, that way you know all the backstory leading into KH 2. You get to level up to 99, level up your HP (Hit Points), CP (Card Points), and Sleights. You get to chose which one you want to level up each time, not all 3 at one time, so chose wisely. You get to customize 3 different decks of cards and equip them for different battles, worlds, etc. The worlds are nicely designed, voice acting great, video and cut scene's are great. There are a few mini games, card collection, enemy's, and the Journal from 1 & 2. You don't get to fly the Gummy ship, in this game since your in a castle. Donald and Goofy are still by your side in this game, they still help you out from time to time.Read full review
