The sequal from the title that shocked all SqureSoft fans. Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories is inbetween as such, as it carrys on directly from where we left Sora at the end of Kingdom Hearts. You play as our Hero on a 3d enviroment with the same moves seen from the PS2 version, with extra's and revolutionary FMV's that are pushing the GBA to its limit.
Just as its name impliess, Chain Of Memories is about how Sora regains his memories, and links the chain from the first game, to the second. The literal link in the series, is as fast paced and as deep as the first and soon the second.
Ouch... Interesting, I look at the reviews and see nothing but praise, which I sadly have to disagree with.
I played the game on Playstation 2 and it simply blew me away, after I heared about it's GBA release, I flipped. I picked the game up, and gave it a try...
Meh...the game left me with no real addition to my KH knowledge, it failed to be the "chain" between the two games, for there is little plot advancement. It does help link the 2nd and 1st games together a bit, but your better off not spending your money.
Now the gameplay:
The fighting style in this game is...interesting. It tried to bring in a new genre and feel to the game, however I found that it was ultimately quite repetetive and plainly boring. The game does offer graphics that please and mildly good sound, however the other aspects of gameplay leave it just above a "mediocre" game title.
If you are a die hard fan willing to take the time and money to further your dedication to KH, then this game is perfect for you.
However if you are expecting a journey as magical as the first, then dont dissapoint yourself and leave this one on the shelf.
I am currently playing KH2, and safe to say I didn't really need to play Chain Of Memories to understand the plot.
Great sequel from S-E This game is one of the best to come on the GBA. With stunning in-game visuals, some of the best looking video rendered cut scenes on the GBA, and tremendous sound, this is a great game that follows on from the great story of KH.
No title I got this import. All KH fans must at least give it a try!!! Although I would not recommend you play it if you are new to the KH genre - play the original KH first, and then pick up this - you'll have much more fun playing this game if you do!
