Ahem, sorry for my past rant on this game... Okay, so. Chain of memories is the second released game in the awesome kingdom hearts series, for the GBA. Well, in it, series hero Sora, along with Donald Duck and goofy, get to this castle, castle oblivion. In this castle, they must fight and travel using cards... But, as they get higher in, they slowly lose their memories!! Ok, gameplay: You must use cards to fight enemies, and you need to fight heartless to get cards which let you open doors to progress in the worlds of the cards, so I give square an A for uniqueness here. Graphics: This game looks GORGEOUS!! In my opinion, it does'nt really get rivaled by any GBA games, except final fantasy 6 and shaman king master of spirits 2. The sprites are just amazing, so 10/10. Sound: The soundtrack ROCKS!!! It uses different music for all the worlds, and the in-battle voices don't suck either, so again, it's only competition in this department as far as GBA goes are by FF6 and master of spirits 2. Depth: It's takes awhile to beat, but really does'nt have anything off the beaten path you can do, so let's give it a 7/10 here. Difficulty: Oh, boy.... this game is HARD, I tell ya! It's card system takes some getting used to, and even after that, there's the problem of 1 reccuring boss: The Riku replica!
This guy's a monster in battle, and he will KILL you if you're not prepared!! I give you 2 words of advice: level up!!! 9/10. You CAN beat it, but it takes some time... To wrap it up, I'd say it's addictive somewhat. It's fun, but it frustrated me ALOT! So, 7/10 for me.
Overall, i'd give it a 7.6/10, because it was square's first time with the card battle mechanic, so it was'nt perfectly polished. I say give it a try, because if you like kingdom hearts AND card games, there could be alot to like here, but i'm not the biggest fan of the latter, so I don't ADORE it...
