Hi I just wanted to go ahead and say that this is my first review so it's not going to be too great. This is one of the games in my favorite game series so I decided to make this my first game that I review!
   This game was one of the worst games in the series. It was still an okay game but not the best. A lot of fans who have played the game always talk about how the card system was a bad system and I agree. The card system is completely different from the rest of the games in the series and kinda ruins the fun of the game. This also makes the game annoying and difficult at times.
   On the other hand this game adds a lot of story to the series. If you haven't already played the first game I'll go ahead and sum the first game up. Three friends, Sora Riku and Kairi, all live on an island seeking adventure and wanting to visit other worlds. One day there was a storm on their island and it split them all up onto different worlds but before Sora is sent to a different world he gets a special magic weapon called the keyblade which he later finds out had "chosen" him. Also these things that look like they are made of darkness called "Heartless" come to his island and start attacking. Meanwhile on another world, Donald and Goofy find that their king went off to search for a "key" because he had been seeing worlds going away so Donald and Goofy go searching for their missing king in Traverse Town, the home of a lot of Final Fantasy characters. Sora also arrives in Traverse Town. He goes asking around to find his friends when he finds Leon and Yuffie who explains that the keyblade choose him. Donald and Goofy find Aeirth who explains that theirs this guy named Ansem who wrote these reports on the heartless, who come from people's hearts that go into darkness and start taking over worlds. Remember this guy hes important. So Sora finds Donald and Goofy who agree to go world to world looking for their king and his friends and fighting heartless. A few worlds later they go back to Traverse Town and talk to Lean and co. and find out that theirs a witch named Maleficent  that's spreading darkness. Sora Donald and Goofy find Riku but they found out that he's fallen into darkness. A few Disney worlds later they arrive at Hallow Bastion where they found how that Ansem have been using Riku as a puppet and Kairi has had her heart taken out of her and her heart is in Sora so Sora temporarily turns into a heartless to give Kairi her heart back and she goes to Traverse Town to be safe. Then Sora and friends go to The End of the World (the world) and fight Ansem and free Riku. He then finds that the heartless are coming from the door to darkness and requires two keyblades on both sides to lock it. The now free Riku and the now found King Mickey go on the side with the heartless and Sora Donald and Goofy go on the other side. They lock the door for good. Kairi then somehow goes back to Destiny Islands (their home island) and wait for Sora and Riku. Sora Donald and Goofy continue to walk on the road ahead of them until they find Castle Oblivion thus starting Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Then in Castle Oblivion they meet a bad group of people called the Organization. As they go through the castle they lose memories and make up fake memories. At the end of the castle they find that the organization have been forcing a girl named Namine to mess with their memories. She says that she can fix their memories but they'll have to go to sleep for a year and forget all about her and Castle Oblivion. Wow that took a while.
   The graphics are amazing for a game on the Game Boy Advance having full cutscenes. The game has been remade twice. One remake on the PS2 called Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories had sound with their cutscenes and added another half of the game where you could play as Riku. The other remake was including on the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix for the PS3 with HD graphics. I wouldn't really call the game that addictive but it does offer tons of different cards that you can collect. This game would have beautiful music... if it weren't for the limitations of the Game Boy Advance. This series actually has the best music that I've ever heard in a game series but the Game Boy Advance really just makes it kinda muffled-sounding. I'll have to take some points off for that.
   Well that's about it for this review. I know it probably wasn't great and I probably took too long to explain the story but hey, it's a pretty complex story. This is my favorite game franchise yet this is one of the worst game in the franchise but it's the only one on vizzed so I have decided to review this one.

I agree I found the game play boring. And the deal with the cards pretty dumb. But the story did keep me going to see what would happen next.
This is not the best kingdom hearts could do.

I have to disagree with both of you. When played and judged objectively, this game is great in it's own right, and it's because of the carefully thought out battle system that this game is so unique. Not only does it add some (in my opinion) much needed difficulty, it also requires that the player develop a strategy. Essentially, it's the same thing as comparing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with Majora's Mask. I myself, am partial to OOT, and don't care for MM, but I will admit that MM is a better game in general. Other examples would be Final Fantasy VII (real time RPG) compared to Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (third person shooter/fighter), or Final Fantasy Tactics (tactical turn based RPG), or Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (fighter) compared to Legacy of Goku II (more RPG than anything). I personally prefer this version of the game to the ps2 version, as I feel that the card system is far more appropriate for a 2D game, but even comparing those two is less like apples and oranges, and more like pineapples and moon rocks.

Wow, that is a brick of text.

Well, first thing first, break up a review, like this:

Sound: 5/10
It sucks, poop, poop, poop.

Depth: 1/10
Really poopy

Got it?

I disagree with you about the game, I think it had fun gameplay elements.

m0ssb3rg935 : Okay the other Kingdom of heart games are  way better.  And to put ff7 in your reply is crazy. That was the perfect game. I didn't think the game was hard. And was bored with the game play from the start.
