Chain of Memories Darker Change's Good?

I liked the fact they made RE:COM a little more darker, it makes the game a little more serious and interesting.

 

i say yes >_>; lol
Ppl should learn that there's not only light in the world
cruel deaths are not very abnormal -_-

 

Darker is definitely better, for the same reasons as others have stated, Sora just smacking things with his keyblade gets a little unrealistic after a while xD

Plus life isn't all smiles and rainbows, there IS darker element :P I am glad it's darker, it makes more of an impact. ​

 

Well since it's a PS2 game, I don c y they shouldn't amplify effects. Even though they 'died' unnecessary and gruesome deaths, I still think it's pretty kool. Maybe not a necessity, but definately something neat to add in.

 

Well in the orignal COM, they had only GBA effects which aren't that great so they can't show all the expressions and darkness and other stuff in which they blacked out the screen (I think they did... Can't remember XD) But they could on the PS2 so they showed what happen because it left people hanging since Zexion could have escaped.
Besides, Re:COM (and orignal COM) is more teen-like than KH or KH2. I mean, Larxene was kicking Sora in the gut more than once, Riku got slammed into the ceiling, Vexen brust into flames with a snap of a murder's fingers... everyone is sooooo much colder, especially Axel.
In KH2, Axel was a totally relaxed and nicer, while in COM, he was more tense and more hateful (Roxas maybe?)
The plot was definatinally more teen, the characters were more teen and think that everything in COM was more teen than any KH game yet.
I think RE:COM was a calling to everyone that Kingdom Hearts isn't just some random kiddy kiddy thing with Square enix characters throw in.

 

You make a good point Chain of Memories did have quite a bit of Teen Moments.
