Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts remake failed to win our affection.

by Grant Holzhauer on Thursday, December 18, 2008

Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories for the PS2 is a remake of the Game Boy Advance game that takes place between the original Kingdom Hearts and its sequel. While all-new voice acting, cut scenes and 3-D visuals spruce things up, the game has a been-there/done that vibe: the bulk of the content (environments, characters, music) was ripped straight from the original. Newcomers will be thoroughly confused by the web of plots and veterans will yearn for more. The card battling system works, although not as well as it did on the GBA. Sadly, this re-imagining has come a bit too late for a series ready for its PS3 debut.
