Story: The story takes place directly after Kingdom Hearts 1, a mysterious black hooded figure appears in-front of Sora, and somewhat directs him to a castle, Cast Oblivion. A seemingly normal place a first glace, though the figure explains to Sora that those that enter tis castle lose their memories, and as Sora advances further into the castle, after completing "memories" of his past; Levels from Kingdom Hearts, such as Traverse town, Alice in Wonderland, and such, where all the characters from that town, do not remember him, he eventually begins to regain his memories through his advances.
Graphics: Very wonderfully down graphics for a GBA game with a nice amount of detail being put into all objects in the game, as-well as the foreground, though as far as I can tell, this game does not really have any "background", as it were. Nothing much else special to say about the graphics.
Sound: Both the Music, and SFX seem to keep true to the Kingdom Hearts series, a very nice redition of the music, a tad lower quality than the first game, but that is of-course expected, it being a Game Boy Advanced game, after-all!
Addictiveness: For replay value, this game doesn't stand out as much as it could, but just in terms of general gameplay, it is very-much addictive, as all Kingdom Hearts games tend to be some type of role-playing game, even just spending time to perfect your perfect deck of cards in itself can take up hours at a time concerning slights the player may have learned from leveling up.
Depth: The battles of this game takes places into rather small rooms, which can be accessed upon unlocking the room via the required level, or colour of card. Each different type of card will have different effects on a room, this can be viewed the in the menu "map cards" tab. These conditions, and card effects may either prolong the game just that little bit, by adding more enemies, or no enemies, or even a door will require a specific number card and colour which the player may not just have, and therefore will have to re-unlock a room to grind for said card.
Difficulty: The game is not that difficult, the player will just have to balance out their 3 level up upgrades wisely between Sleights, which will make the player think tactically about their used cards, HP, and CP, which will allow them to have better cards. Of-course the thing that makes this game particularly difficult is the balance of the types of cards the deck is constructed with, along with the danger of completely running out of offensive cards.
Overall: I would recommend others to try out this game, especially those people that love Action Role-playing games, as-well as the Kingdom Hearts franchise fans, whom never did give this game as much of a change because of the style it was done in, and the fact that it is a bit of a spin-off. The Graphics are definitely more than bearable, the music rather-much the same as the first game, great story and character progression, A lot of depth to the game, so their is a lot to do, even a few optional secrets, not too difficult but not too easy, and quite fun and addictive!
