Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories follows a completely new battle system and game play than from those of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]].'' The battle system now revolves around Sora's memories, represented as [[cards]]. Using [[Attack Cards]], [[Magic Cards]], and [[Item Cards]] is the only way to attack. Each card has a number from 0 to 9. When a card is played against the enemy's card, the card with the lower value "Breaks" and is discarded. This leaves enemies vulnerable for a few seconds. Cards with a value of 0 can break any attack, but can also be broken by any card played after wards. If a 0 is played before another high level card it will not be broken and will leave your opponent wide open for attacks. [[Enemy Cards]] can also be used in battle to temporarily give abilities to Sora. | ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' follows a completely new battle system and game play than from those of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]].''

*The English version of the game has a glitch that causes the game to be un-playable when using a second-generation PlayStation 3. The player is stuck at the beginning of the tutorial and can't continue. The only way around this glitch is to play the tutorial on a PlayStation 2 (or original-model PlayStation 3) and copy the data to the problematic PlayStation 3 unit. This glitch also happens when using a third party memory card on a Playstation 2. | *The English version of the game has a glitch that causes the game to be un-playable when using a second-generation PlayStation 3.
