I’ve always found the Kingdom Hearts series to be something totally different and mind boggling, as it brings together two unlikely genres in a single RPG which is pulled off pretty well in the end. Square Enix is back this time round with Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories that will fill up the essential gaps between Kingdom Hearts as well as Kingdom Hearts II. The first title was released way back in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance, but this time round, the full 3D rendition of the Saga is back on the aged PS2.

Sora, Donald and Goofy travel down a long road that meanders through endless fields, and come to a crossroads. As Sora stands in the crossroads, he gazes up at the night sky and thinks of his lost friends. Just then, a mysterious man approaches from down one of the branching paths. “Ahead lies something you need,” he says, “but to claim it, you must lose something dear.” The man vanishes before a single path, leading to a castle that eerily resembles a girl’s drawing…In the coming journey, what will Sora and his companions gain, and what will they lose?

Some of the features found in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories include :-

• World-renowned creator and character designer Tetsuya Nomura and his team once again unite the magical world of Disney with the characters of FINAL FANTASY, inviting fans to an enchanting gaming experience
• An essential piece in the KINGDOM HEARTS franchise, which has shipped over 12 million units across the globe, comes to North America at long last
• In addition to Sora, players can control Riku in this adventure that bridges the gap between KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS II
• A full 3D remake of the original GBA release, KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories offers a refreshing rendition of the hit title for the PlayStation 2 system
• The talented voice cast from the North American releases of KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS II, including David Gallagher and Haley Joel Osment, return to breathe new life into the beloved characters
• The mini-game catalog has been completely renewed, now with four brand new experiences accompanying the main adventure

There is no rating available yet for this title, although we do know that it will hit North American retailers for $29.99.
