I'm a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts. But this game is such a let down. The card system puts me to sleep. It's incredibly annoying. I don't like cards. Any type of cards. But I love Kingdom Hearts. Unfortunately, cards ruined it. I'm looking forwards to Kingdom Hearts 2. I don't think I'll ever finish playing Chain of Memories though. Too boring.
Still waiting for the game

Not sure if we like this game or not as we ordered on on November 19th, and as of today, December 23rd it has not shipped. This has happened to me before with pre-ordered stuff so I would be really cautious if you want something for a gift when you order from Amazon. In reading the other reviews it looks like this has happened to other people. Better buy it at the store, so you can be sure you get it when you need it. I thought over a month was plenty of time to receive it, but I guess I was wrong.
I hate Namine by a male teenager!!

I dont like namine. In fact the game would be better if SHE wasn't inturuppting it. That weirdo dark side of rIKU LIKES her but the normal side don't in that way. She is purer evil and i CAN make spiteful comments on her if I want to. I hear Shes not in kingdom hearts 2, I will be pleased if shes not there, plus shes a rubbish drawer, oh and I am not jealous I am even debating shes not in kingdom hearts! WHOS WITH ME ON THIS ONE I'D LIKE TO SEE MY REVIEW AS HELPFUL ABOUT THIS FREAK CALLED NAMINE!!!!!!

Ok, let's be honest - this game is being marketed as a continuation of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series for GBA. At least in my area they are playing up the Square Enix name in the ads. That being said, this is not Final Fantasy, it is a Yu-gi-oh rip-off. I don't think that alone is a bad thing, but it would help in the advertising if they would say - IF YOU LIKE YU-GI-OH, YOU WILL LOVE KH: CoM!
Yeah, the Disney tie-in doesn't hurt either.
The problem is, games shouldn't abuse their users, and this title has to be the most user-abusive video game ever. After reading the instruction book and the strategy guide I STILL can't make heads or tails of the game. I have to agree completely with another review which mentioned the enemies being way too easy or God-like with no middle ground.
Yes, the pictures are pretty. Once you are beyond that, there is nothing else to hold your interest. To quote another Disney character - Bagheera - how is the student supposed to retain the lesson after you have beat him senseless? Overall, I don't see how Square Enix could get it so right with Final Fantasy Tactics and screw up so hard on KH: CoM. I have to believe this was an accident as I cannot believe anyone intentionally thought this was a good idea.
BOTTOM LINE TIME : I have never before given out a 1-star rating, but this turkey sure deserves it. If I could go into negative territory, I would. If you are into Yu-Gi-Oh, then this is your game. If not, you will laugh, you will cry, you will kiss $35 bucks good-bye. Oh, and you will be beaten black-and-blue for the privilage.

On "Bad Decision", come on nobody can make a reivew like that. Your point is somewhat biased. You should atleast play the game. and know the game boy advance is not stupid, I have one and I am 16, but then again I hardly play it. This "Kid's Review" was written without an arguement and without facts to back up your poorly put together review. And beating the first game doesn't prove anything, besides this game leads into the next game. One last thing I have not played it either, but I will be buying it soon, so my review really is not a review, this just argues your point.

Card Battle!? UGH! Horrible!
Poor quality game. They ruined the quality of the original game.
I only have it because I love the original and am a collector, and need complete series...
What a disappointment

I got this game expecting it to have a battle system like Kingdom Hearts. I was greatly disappointed and angry. Whoever came up with this battle system should be fired. It's terrible. You fight alone and you have stupid cards that need to be "reloaded." Everytime you reload, the reload period is longer. I spent ten minutes knocking Hades's health down by one quarter and while I was reloading he managed to heal it. I'm thankful I only rented this pathetic game. (By the way, I'm not Aaron Johnson, this is my father's account)
Not even close to the magic of the PS2 KH

The game has a far inferior battle system compared to its predecessor and is mostly just random fights in a series of repetetive maps. The GBA version has none of the exploring that made KH a lot of fun.
