Which Kingdom Hearts game was remade for PlayStation 2 as Re:Chain of Memories?

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was remade for the PlayStation 2 as Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. The original game was a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts and first appeared on the Game Boy Advance in 2004.

Chain of Memories bridges the story between the first Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. Sora, Donald, and Goofy explore Castle Oblivion, where memories shape the worlds they visit. Its battle system uses cards to represent attacks, magic, allies, and world construction, a major change from the original game’s real-time combat.

The PlayStation 2 remake replaced the handheld game’s sprites with polygonal 3D graphics modeled after the main console entries. It also added voice acting, new scenes, and gameplay features associated with Kingdom Hearts II. In Japan, Re:Chain of Memories was released in 2007 as part of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. It later reached Western audiences as a standalone release and in the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix collection.
