A rhythm game is a no brainer for a series filled to the brim with incredible music like Kingdom Hearts. Melody of Memory delivers. Over 140 tracks that really set off my nostalgia sensors, it reminds me of why I love this series and how good it's been all the way through. The missions provide nice replay value and most of the songs on higher difficulties are challenging but satisfying to pull off once you've practiced. I do think the charting isn't as easy to understand as it is in Theatrhythm, for example. So it definitely takes a while for one to get a hang on the controls, even if you're familiar with rhythm games. A smaller gripe I have is that I wish KH3 had more tracks. There are some really good songs that were left out for some reason. Overall, it's a fun and unique rhythm game made for die-hard fans of the series like myself to relieve its best moments. If that sounds like your thing, this game's made just for you. Closest I can compare it to is Final Fantasy's Theatrhythm series, which I would say I prefer (gameplay-wise), even though they're still fairly different games.
