...is quite a superb game. The GameBoy version was excellent, and I was hoping for this to be the same.
And it was!
Gameplay - 9 - The card system can be frustrating occasionally, and I ran out of cards rather fast. But that didn't stop me from beating the game and having fun.
Graphics - 9 - The graphics were standard Kingdom Hearts style, but with a slight downgrade. The characters seemed blurrier than in the other games. Not to mention the utterly horrid voice to lip syncing. The characters all spoke Japanese, while the sounds were in English. They could've done alot better...
Sound - 8 - The music was wonderful, the sound effects samey. What really brought this score down was the...how should I say...AWFUL voice acting. Their voices did NOT fit them at all, besides the standard Axel, Riku, Sora, and the other's voices. The newer characters had extremely bad voice acting choices. Feauturing...
Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon as Zexion - A horrid choice, probably the worst...did not fit the -cough- wonderful character at all...
Uryu Ishida from the Bleach dubs and Shino Aburame from Naruto as Vexen - W.T.F. were they thinking?? URYUU?! Vexen sounds alot younger than he is, and it's very unfitting.
Kieth Ferguson from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends as Marluxia - a very odd choice...
Shanelle Gray/Shanelle Workman from The Skateboard Kid and some other random things as Larxene - An unbeffiting choice, too deep fer Larxene's character...
Sonic Renaldi from Speed Racer(2008) as Lexaeus - The ONLY fitting one...very deep, fits Lex's...form well.
Overall, it's a 9/10. Great for the fans, like myself, if they can stomach the awful voice acting...good thing is that you have to beat the game once to get to the very core of all of the bad voice actors, then play through Reverse/Rebirth to get to the other actors.
