Well I finally beat Re:Chain of Memories last weekend and I will admit that I did like it a little better than I did before. One big reason being that I finally figured out how to beat Riku Replica 4. I was dissapointed fighting Marluxia though. Especially when I read how tough he would be. The first fight with Marluxia was supposed to be difficult but it turned out to be dissapointingly easy, as did the other two fights.
Riku's story was also a letdown. This whole time I couldn't wait to play as Riku and once I got my wish, I actually wanted it to end. His story was so boring and the levels repetitive that I actually skipped a majority of the levels, leaving some rooms unopened. And yet somehow I still beat the final boss...
Even though I don't hate Re:Chain of Memories anymore, I still think it's the worst Kingdom Hearts had to offer thus far. I give Sora's story a 6.5/10. At least with Sora's story, you actually have to strategize and plan ahead before fighting enemies. The cards are also pretty cool once you know how to use them except for the CP. I hated that. Riku's story gets a 4/10. I didn't like how it felt so hack-n-slash and how you couldn't even construct your own deck. On top of that, the villians were repetitive and easy to beat. Truly dissapointing.
