You can jump into split screen co-op multiplayer and experience everything with a friend on the same couch, or you can go online and compete in the VS Battles mode. For the first time in a console-bound Kingdom Hearts game, there’s a multiplayer element to share with your friends. It’s also great that the Proud difficulty mode and the uber-challenging Performer style mode exist for those looking for a tougher challenge as well, though the latter two modes really make Melody of Memory yearn for a special controller like the one from Guitar Hero. Or you can play with the One Button style mode if you still want a small challenge but not too much. Accessibility isn’t too much of a problem here, as you can simply turn on the Demo mode and let entire levels play themselves for you if you just want to watch. That said, I couldn’t find an option to turn down the often blaring soundtrack when inside of the menu screen, which would have annoyed me if I were trying to stream with Melody of Memory running in the background. If you want to tweak things like latency, volume, and other options, there’s a Music Stage menu that gives you a decent level of precision over these things. If I didn’t have the context in my head, the soundtracks alone wouldn't have provided that much of a pull to continue. It’s a story clearly centered around reliving those nostalgic moments rather than establishing many new ones. In fact, little is added at all – save for a section at the very end which explicitly tells us where developer Square Enix plans to set the next Kingdom Hearts game and includes a little bit of interesting lore about Kairi, but not much else. Given its simple controls and on-rails levels, very little of it feels remarkable or unique in practice compared to other rhythm games, and you may find yourself mindlessly breezing through it.Make no mistake: This is not a new Kingdom Hearts roleplaying game, nor a deep franchise recap, and while some of the story is touched on, only the broadest strokes are covered. It does, however, end up feeling shallow after several solid hours of play. One of the best parts about this rhythm-based game is you don’t have to be a huge Kingdom Hearts fan to drop in and enjoy bite-sized chunks thanks to the plethora of iconic Disney music and easy-to-learn gameplay. Taking influences from musical spinoff Theatrhythm, Melody of Memory grabs your hand and gleefully parades you through some of the most heartfelt moments in the long-running Kingdom Hearts series, which is now spread across over 14 games (if you also include minor entries like Re:Coded and Kingdom Hearts 0.2).
#KINGDOM HEARTS MEMORY OF MELODY SERIES#
At long last, diehard Kingdom Hearts fans have received the musical love letter to their beloved series that they’ve long awaited.
