Just finished playing the story for Melody of Memory and unlocked all the songs, and I gotta say this game is a lot of fun to play. First off I’m impressed they manayed to fit so many songs from all the different Kingdom Hearts games, but because of how awesome the music is I’m glad they pulled no punches, the game is also an abridged telling of all the various games in the series in case you don’t want to play 500 hours of gameplay.
Of course as great as this game is there are some things about I don’t really care about.
First is that while they managed to get so much of the series music not every track is in the game, there is no Mickey’s Castle, Merlin’s house, Tarzan’s jungle, the Caribbean/Port Royal, and the 100 Acre Woods just to name a few.
Second are the memory dive segments which aren’t bad but they replace the worlds you travel to and only ever feature one song from that location, so we got the Toy Box theme, Rapunzel’s forest, night time San Fransokyo, inside the factory of Monsters Inc. and worst of all Let it Go literally ripped right from Frozen.
The teams are all good with Sora, Donald, Goofy; Roxas, Axel, Xion; and Aqua, Terra and Ventus. But then you got Riku with two random partner Dream Eaters like from Dream Drop Distance and idk I don’t really care much for this team up.
Overall this is still a great game, lots of fun and if you reach the end you are treated to something special which also means this game is technically canon with the series.
