    I'm curious to know what people thought of COM. I thought the storyline was intriguing. The nobodies were cool characters and I liked the whole Namine erasing Sora's memories angle. But the battle system and gameplay was a major turn off for me. I don't know that I'd encourage anyone to play it for any other reason than to have a better idea of what's happening in KH2. As KH fans, what did you think? Was it a good idea for Square to release the game? Did you enjoy playing it? I would have liked it loads better if the game was released on PS2 and used a gameplay mode similar to KH1. I actually went out and bought a gameboy to play COM, and I regretted it.

    Didn't enjoy playing it as such, it was more of an essential buy to follow the storyline rather that reading it online.
    It was those damn doors... I mean, Sora has a keyblade and he needs cards to open doors...

    Luckily for me I already had a Gameboy, tho I always regretted that as I found no appealing games for it.

    I'm worried that the 3 upcoming KH titles will be similar as they also seem to just be fillers.

    I would suggest playing it. I thought the story was actually loads better than in KH2. The characters intrigued me. I found myself enjoying the conflict between organization members. Each had their own angle and motives, trying to get one up on their comrades. Especially Axel. I was sad to see that didn't make it's way into KH2, besides some of Axel's actions. That character was also much better in CoM. I also think that KH2 is very difficult to understand in full without having played CoM.

    However, I would suggest borrowing it or renting it rather than buying it. It isn't worth purchasing because of the gameplay. The cards were beyond aggravating. I felt my skill in playing was worthless, because it all had to do with being lucky enough to play the a card your opponent can't beat. It was beyond annoying to have my attack be broken by an enemy all the way across the screen who couldn't possibly have blocked the attack. And yet my proximity to an opponent does in fact matter when attacking. So they can block me from across the screen, but I can't attack from the same distance? Lame.

    ^I would definitely agree with renting or borrowing this. I just wish someone had told me that beforehand. Has any one actually liked the gameplay? It seems that S-E had a miss there.

    I thought the gameplay was alot of fun, albeit REALLY repetitive. It does give you the options to make countless battle strategies along with the different card combinations and the sleights.

    I would only recommend the game for plot purposes i am still not a fan of Card based games

    The cards wouldn't have bothered me as much if not for the facts I mentioned above (blocking from across the screen and such). When attacking heartless, everything about range and strike locations (hitting large bodies from behind, shadows sinking into the ground, etc.) still applied. But when it came to them blocking me, none of it mattered. That's what frustrated me.

    Yeah that whole card breaking thing was a hassle. It was fun though.
     
  9. I would definitly recommend it to any experienced card player, in my opinion, newbies to the whole card scheme won't do as good as other expierienced player.

    Everyone was a card playing noob at some point.

    I'd be more apt to recommend the game to a KH fan whom I knew enjoyed card-based games, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from playing it simply because they've never played one before. I don't think it was that hard to understand. Just annoying.

    Eh. Just borrow it. The card based system is cool, but it does have some kinks to work out. I didn't exactly like it when a heartless on the opposite side of the screen breaks my card.

    The story is... mediocre. The only reason I payed a lot of attention to it was because it helps you understand KH2 better.

    The gameplay is ok. You will get used to it. But the story of it was great!

    See, I couldn't get used to the gameplay no matter how long I sat and tried. I guess it takes a special person to enjoy card-based games. v_v

    i would recommend it not only for it's story line, but also for it's gameplay. i must admit, the gameplay is quite different from the other two, but i like different and i think they did pretty well on the gamble.
     
  15. Well it is a tie, Like I would But Wouldn't

    My Reason for Would, If you want to Know the WHOLE story then I would recommend it, and plus I don't think Re:CoM is coming to America so people that cannot Import it Should Stick with the GBA Version.

    My reason Not too, is Not real Voice Acting, No Opening theme, and Battle System isn't as good, But If People can Afford to Import Re:CoM i Recommend that instead of the GBA, cuz it has More Room to Battle, and It is Voice acting, and 3-D =] so i say I wouldn't recommend the GBA over the Ps2

    I would Say it Off and On for me.

    I thought it looked good (please be good) but I bought it off ebay for a nice £13.I'll say what I think after it arrives and I've had a good play,but,surely it can't be too bad and even if it is it's only £13 and I know people who might buy it for more than that.
