''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' was | Due to the original Game Boy Advance release being on a different platform than the other mainline games and selling worse that the first game, many ''Kingdom Hearts'' fans skipped that entry and waited until ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This caused issues with the coherency of this next game, as playing ''Chain of Memories'' was crucial to understand the plot. The opening movie of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' offered a very brief recap of the previous two games, but many were still met with confusion over the plot of the game. Due to these complaints, a remake of this game was decided to be made for PlayStation 2 so the entire series would be on one system.{{fact}} | ||
''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' was a total redesign of the game into a three-dimensional computer-rendered game for the PlayStation 2, in the same style as the other released entries in the series, ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This revamp included changing the battle arenas from two dimensional screens without "height" into full three-dimensional arenas, allowing enemies to rise out of the player's range. | |||
Additionally, these arenas can be aesthetically varied, even within the same world, while in the original game there was only one arena design per world. The "Duel" system was added to Riku's battle mechanics, and the [[Reaction Command]] system of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' was incorporated into both Sora and Riku's battle mechanics, generally to replace instances where the player would press the "A" button to continue a combo attack. | Additionally, these arenas can be aesthetically varied, even within the same world, while in the original game there was only one arena design per world.
