KH1 FM: The classic still holds up. Just the perfect combination of story, combat, and RPG. The Disney tie-in also makes the game feel more nostalgic. Only downside is the gummy missions. Those mechanics feel old and clunky.
Re:Chain of Memories: The card mechanic is interesting, but gets old quickly. The additional Riku story doesn't do much to add to the gameplay and can be quite frustrating. The trophies for this game were pretty annoying and boring.
KH2 FM: Huge upgrade in the series. The combat and RPG mechanics feel a bit less freeing and more boxy, but the post-game content and additional expansion of the gummy missions makeup for that.
BBS FM: Probably the most uneven of the games in the collection. Keeping in mind that this was originally set up for the PSP, the post-game content, especially the Mirage Arena, feel disconnected, gameplay wise, from the rest of the game. Additionally, having to complete the game 3 different times for each story, is SUCH A DRAG...
Overall, I give the collection 7/10. The different mechanics introduced by each game are fun enough to keep things interesting. Still, the story starts to get convoluted, and having only the Re:coded and 358/2 Days cinematics definitely leaves more to be desired.
