Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix +

"The Uniqueness of the Game"

Gameplay: (10/10)

Okay, the game is quite unique compare to other Action-RPG except for Kingdom Hearts I. Every Battle is like fighting throughout one big field/place with enemies appear. Every Action is like Combo and Finish and with some upgrade. Combination of Attack and Magic Combo. Two side friends following you almost all the way. Every Summon is pretty unique in their Action. And Combination Attack is pretty cool feature in the game. Finally, the most unique powerful of the game which is the Drive Feature. Sora can drive into 5 forms in Final Mix. Every Form have different Action and Uniqueness. Oh, there are some other uniqueness in the game which is Reaction! An additional action on certain enemy.

Next thing which is inside the game, Gummi Ship!! Another Unique Mini Game in Kingdom Hearts Whole Series except COM. In World Map, Sora travel with Gummi Ship from world to world but then there are some Gate around the path. Those gate will lead to the Gummi Mission which is like playing Shooting Game with Ship. What more, you can customize your ship into interesting model. Like Chocobo, Moggle, etc.

In RE: Chain Of Memories, the uniqueness which lies in the usage of the cards. Every Card will determine what Action you want to do. Although, it may sounds boring to those who loves Action game but this game actually not as bored as it is. Okay, Let's go on into further detail. Card Battle which is in some other Battle Screen like usual GBA Version. Use Cards to attack, use magic, summon ally, use item or use enemy card. Whoever the number is bigger shall own the battle field. And then you can Stock up your cards into three which will unleash the power of the cards number effect and if you fulfill the requirement of the sleight, the attack will be different and it is depends on what kind of sleight you use. And about the worlds, Besides the beginner and the back of the story, you can create/select whatever world card is available to create the world from your choice. Same goes to map area in every world.

Finally, RE: Chain Of Memories is the only game you can play with Riku as main player. But you must complete Sora's story first. And Riku can drive into Dark Mode if certain requirement is done. Nothing much change in here except for the Duel System! It's pretty cool feature where Riku and enemy have the same number cards duel. When Riku wins the duel fight, he will unleash his special attack depends on how many cards is duel.

All of above I mention is the unique function of the game compare to other action game.

Graphic: (8/10)

Well, the graphics of this game is quite unique and colorful. I'm pretty sure it wins almost many game. Every area which is quite unique where the area is either slightly different of location is different. Although mine rating is not really that perfect but overall I would say, this game graphics is almost best on playing freestyle type of action game.

<Replay Value: (6/10)

Well, since after final boss battle, you can save the record for extra secret. But there isn't much things to replay the game. No Alternate Ending, no New Game+, and so on... So, I would say that, the only thing you can replay the whole game is.... First, Play Critical Mode on LV1. Second, play for the excitement of the game. Nothing much than that then. It's pretty disspointing on here.

Weapons: (10/10)

Okay, why I rate 10? Simple, Keyblade is the super most unique weapon which no other game would think of. It is the combination of a sword and as key in large version. But other that keyblade, the Organization XIII. Some of them wield pretty interesting unique weapon.

<Enemy: (9/10)

Well, also quite unique. Heartless and Nobody have their own story. The most unique enemy will be Shadow Heartless I presume. The most weakest yet always the first heartless battle on it. Then there is another one which is Mushroom! But, why I rate 9 instead of 10, it is because of some of the enemies is from Kingdom Hearts I.

Plot and Story: (10/10)

Well, the plot of this game is slightly unique then many other Action RPG. Ever since the secret ending is out, the story will become even more complicated as it is. So, you will never get bored on the storyline.

Other: (9/10)

Well, the mini game! Like Skateboard, flying carpet, pooh's min game, etc. These are some of the extension of the game which make the game even fun. Every mini game have their own unique. You can challenge yourself like getting the highest score or other requirement. Arena wouldn't be so unique because some of the game do have arena. But Arena also may have some challenge. Synthesize Item which is not unique but it has unique in other way.

I guess that all I know...I'm pretty sure there many more to tell but I will stop from here. Other stuff, you guys go and figure out.
