    I knew Melody of Memory was a rhythm spin-off before I started it, so I kept my expectations fairly low, but it didn’t even clear that bar. The music isn’t awful and the visuals are beautiful, but it gives players almost nothing substantial in the main story. In light of this, I can only recommend it to those who really love rhythm games or the music from Kingdom Hearts.

    Well made rythm game who can get people who are not into them make them getting the hang of it. I really enjoyed the gameplay itself. There isWell made rythm game who can get people who are not into them make them getting the hang of it. I really enjoyed the gameplay itself. There is also a well done recap of the whole series narrated by Kairi, one of the protagonists of Kingdom Hearts. In addition there is some tease about the future of Kingdom Hearts at the end of the game and it's extremely interesting and promising, the future is bright.… Full Review »

World Tour isThis is a really well made rhythm game with a lot of depth to it. I'm a rhythm gamer first, and only mildly enjoy the KH series. World Tour is mediocre at best and contains a recap of the series events leading up to some new scenes exclusive to MoM. It is there mostly to unlock songs for Track Selection, which is MoM's free play mode, but the World Tour, much the same as any rhythm game's story or missions, is not where you'll be spending the bulk of your time unless you choose to. Track Selection is the heart of the game, much like any rhythm game's free play. The VS/COM battles, where you can play against other players or AI opponents is really enjoyable due to the trick system. A gauge fills up as you hit notes, and the better your note judgement is the more it fills. Once full you will throw a random trick at your opponent that lasts a limited amount of time. It's random, so you don't choose the tricks, but it keeps things interesting. There's also tons of unlockables, from songs, new teams (only 4 teams total, which each level up separately), to profile cards used in vs, to collection cards that permanently boost various things like EXP earned, item drop rate, defense increases, etc. You can also synthesize some of these through moogle synthesis, as well as usable items. There are also lots of in-game feats, some of which unlock trophies. So even beyond trophies there's a lot more achievements. I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys rhythm games. If you're not a rhythm gamer, but only a KH fan, I'm not sure I could recommend it since you can probably look up the exclusive ending scenes on Youtube and listen to the music elsewhere, but that doesn't mean you won't like this. You might.… Full Review »
