Back when I first got Chain of Memories, Re: Chain of Memories was just announced, much to my dismay. I had handed over $14 to the kid on the block who sold his copy of CoM to me, and now they're remaking it for the PS2?! Geez, oh well.
I ended up getting Re:Chain and didn't pick up the original CoM ever again. I never ended up beating Vexen in Re, although in my fresh runthrough of all the KH games (minus BBS, because my PSP broke years ago, but maybe if I get the remixes...) in preparation for KHIII, hopefully I'll power right through Vexen this time!
Anyway, back to the point of the thread: who was better to play as in (Re:)CoM, Sora or Riku? Did you find it more fun to play as good ol' Sora, and was Riku a fresh change for those of you whose first experience playing as Riku was in this game? Whose card decks did you like better? Which storyline was more interesting to you?
