Hot or not?

Anyway, I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about CoM for GBA. Someone has told me they consider it be the best game available for the GBA, while others have said it destroys the KH feel with card battle and the game play was sub-par. I'm curious, what do you all think of Chain of Memories?

Well, I started to play it once again, and I must say that I enjoy it. ^____^ The graphics are killer for a GBA game, but I won't lie, the controls are a bit difficult for me. I know I use emulator on my laptop, but regardless, it loses its KH feel to it, in an odd sense. I'm not sure. What it lacks in the original game feel it makes up with the plot and graphics.

^Lia and I just recently finish Sora's story again, so I thought I'd update with my thoughts.

The gameplay is quite original and fun, but the game overall can become quite repetitive, especially since the original story of the game is so minimal in comparison to the rehashed Disney plots from KH1. With all of the sleights used in the game, original and unique combos adds a lot of individuality for each player which is a really good thing. Training is fairly linear and simple, so it's not as much of a pain to spend countless hours doing the same thing over and over in other SE games.

All in all I really like CoM, but it can become extremely annoying and boring due to the length of the game.

It think it is a good game for a GBA. There aren't that many good games for the GBA. It does get boring play through all the levels again since we beat them in the first game, but it also adds its own touch to the mix. I think that the card system is good because it adds a little more challenge to the game then just the standard fighting. But those are just my thoughts.

It's a good game, especially for GBA, but the fighting with cards takes a little practice to master. My sis and I both got the game and she had a terrible time trying to fight with the cards, particularly the timing of playing a card. Plus, the game gets a little annoying when you get stuck somewhere because you can't get the right color card for the storyline doors. But over all, I liked it. It kept with the KH feel pretty well.

^I completely agree. The door values forced you to be conservative about your card collection, which could lead to many problems for less experienced players.
