Kingdom Hearts GBA Chain of Memories, a quite worthy play
Although the card system is a pain to get used to and the slights are badly explained at best, this unique KH game is quite in depth, even for it's series, being the first to include a second storyline with another character to play, although this is a much simplified version.
Sora can use pretty much anything to attack, a fully customizable deck to use and approve of and whatever slights therefore you can imagine that you have the cards for, once you finally figure out how the system works. Many of the later bosses do require these high end slights though, and if you aren't prepared you WILL die constantly, which is quite frustrating for a player, who may use any combo of low slights and never win against a faster opponent, eventually running out of cards, and therefore commands, making your poor Sora helpless and waiting for death.

I'd just thought that something weird had happened or that Sora hadn't properly reunited with his heart from the end of KH1 and that they needed him to sleep so they could fix that while his nobody, Roxas, was just running around aimlessly.
The second storyline starts about halfway through Sora's story and goes a bit after his ends and ends up sleeping, and stars Ri... Read the rest of this Review
