Really good for a GBA remake!

When I got Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, I wasn't expecting to much. But, As I played through the game, I was getting more and more impressed with it (the characters having voices added a little more entertainment to it). It took me a while, but I figured out where I've heard Vexen and Zexion's voices before. Vexen took me a lot longer because I haven't heard it for a while, but it's Ken's voice from the second season of Digimon! And Zexion's is Sonic's! Anyways... As with the GBA game, Sora's story provided you with a new game experience to get you ready for Riku's story. And, I really enjoyed Riku's story because of what they added to it! For one thing, there are new attacks, like a duel between cards when yours matches the enemy's, and a new combo attack with King Mickey! Along with this, Square added a little more of a storyline to each character. For instance, It explains why Riku and Mickey are dressed like members of the Organization, and it gives you a little preview in the credits at the end of both stories of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. And lastly, for the downfalls. The only three I could think of are that it still has the card-based battle system, the text-heavy cutscenes in everywhere but Castle Oblivion and a few other places, and that as I watched the character's mouths moving with the text, I could tell that Square just dubbed over the Japanese animation with the English voices. Other than that, this game was spectacular! If you're a Kingdom Hearts fan, you'll want to pick this game up.
