Kingdom Hearts Chain Of Memories

Synopsis

Prologue:
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories bridges the gap between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, continuing Sora’s tale where the original left off.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy travel down a long road that meanders through endless fields, and come to a crossroads. As Sora stands in the crossroads, he gazes up at the night sky and thinks of his lost friends.

Just then, a mysterious man approaches from down one of the branching paths. "Ahead lies something you need," he says, "but to claim it, you must lose something dear." When the man vanishes, only a single path remains. The path leads to a mysterious fortress called "Castle Oblivion".

In the coming journey, what will Sora and his companions gain, and what will they lose?

Gaming Age

To say that Kingdom Hearts was successful would be a bit of an understatement. The PlayStation 2 title, which combined classic Disney characters with those of Final Fantasy, ended up selling over four million copies. A sequel was pretty much guaranteed, especially considering the teaser at the end of the first game. So it was no real surprise when Kingdom Hearts II was announced.

Final Score: B+
