Chain of Memories Replay Factors...?

hi! I've beaten chain of memories and I was wondering if there were any positive replay factors. sure you get to play as Riku, but is there anything else? any thanks is appreciated! loved the game!

The Riku storyline doesn't actually count as a replay, IMO. More like another chapter to the story. As for replay benefits - I believe you get access to more cards?

I'm pretty sure I thought the Riku story line was more interesting than Soras. The gameplay is somewhat different too since you are given a set deck you have to use for Riku in each section of the game without the ability to switch out any cards, so you have to think differently and have a good handle of the battle system to be able to do well. I don't know, it's fun.

Scotty, thanks for your input! I played the Riku story for a little bit, but just lost interest. it's been a few years now, and I can play it on a TV versus the GBA, so i'll give it a second chance!

P.S. I like your Shining pic! I just finished reading Stephen king's Dr. Sleep a few weeks back.

I still need to read the actual book of The Shining. It's been on my list forever. Then I'll get to Dr. Sleep, haha.

I do prefer being able to have full customization like with Sora, I can say that. I like being able to have to think differently with Riku, but I just often found myself wishing I could make my own decks.

Scotty, I just started sora's story mode last night! almost couldn't remember how to do every thing. thankfully, there were tutorials at the start! :) I'm with you on wishing that you could create your own decks. I only just found out that they remade this installment for the Playstation 2(?) my wife and son got me a WiiU for Christmas and I wish that there were more Square Enix titles available. ::sigh:: now I've got to look into a PS4 as well.

P.S. The book was really well written! it had Danny as an adult.

If you have a PS3 or intend on ever getting one, there's the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX as an option for this game too. It has Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (the PS2 version), and the cutscenes from 358/2 Days.
