Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a direct sequel of the first Kingdom Hearts game and was the first handheld Kingdom Heart game.

Gameplay & Story
The gameplay is vastly different from the gameplay seen in the original Kingdom Hearts game as the battle system has been altered from traditional action rpg battles to strategic card battles where you have a deck consisting of weapons, skills and even enemies that are required to do anything besides moving and jumping. Each card requires a certain amount of DP (deck points) to be used. Once you run out however, you can no longer use any actions other then standard attacks which can be shuffled and used an unlimited amount of times.

The story is fairly weak though as you'll mainly see the story from the original Kingdom Hearts game replayed with slight differences. However each world has between 2-4 unique scenes that help progress the storyline.

Graphics & Sound
The character models are fairly detailed and the scenery is pretty good looking for a GBA rpg. The music in this game is a mix of the first two Kingdom Hearts games, as well as a few new tunes most of which are great to listen to whilst playing.


Bottom Line: Bring one of the most loved Disney franchises to the GBA then add an element of strategy to it and you've got yourself a great rpg that won't disappoint!

Score ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 9.5/10
