Luckily, there is a lot of online help regarding what to fuse together to get what you really need, otherwise, I would have been lost. I mostly played for the storyline and to see how things played out, which made the game quite interesting to me. I didn't enjoy this part of the game.4. I enjoyed the gameplay and the way in which combat is designed. Materia FusionWhat a confusing mess. I've never understood why the Final Fantasy series has to give the side quests more priority than the main story line. For those who don't know, it's a punch that causes 99999 damage.
If you go and take on the side quests in their entirety before beating the game, then you will be so ultra-powerful that with one or two hits you can finish off any main storyline enemy or boss. MissionsWay too many of these (300 in all). I personally would like to see the game be the most difficult part, with the side quests leading up to the ability to defeat the game, but not dominate it. I realize no game is perfect, and the above issues are no reason not to buy and enjoy this game.
I enjoyed playing Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, especially as a fan of the original Final Fantasy VII. Sure, I don't have to use it, but why not. There's no other way to get past the missions if you don't.3. I spent a lot of time collecting "Chocobo Feathers" so I could give a couple of materia 999% HP. You end up having to fight through easy missions that are quite boring for the level of character you have developed.2. I'll leave it at that.Besides all these things, I really did enjoy the game. There are a few things, however, the led me to give the game four out of 5 stars:1. More questions than answersI was left with more questions after completion of the storyline.
Also, the missions aren't presented in order of difficulty as the game progresses. Costly PunchCostly Punch makes the game too easy. If this game is supposed to fill me in on what happened, then why leave a gap of 4 years that we know nothing about. It certainly will entertain and is worth playing.
Crisis Core: FF7 is simply fun. unable to complete the game or enjoy the story. It's about same quality as "Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children". You will work on side missions (huge amount) and story to gain items instead of spending day and night searching. Sometimes I didn't play games for days but I'm able to catch up immediately any time I turn on the device due to the tie control of the game. The side missions aren't long individually, but it will take you more than maybe 30 hours (my friend spend 70~80 hours) to complete everything. The gameplay gives you 90% of time on story + combat. Cut scenes are amazing.
The control is simple but fun. The game is not too hard so you won't stuck at the middle of somewhere. Movements are lively and detailed. However, if you're looking for a challenging fighting/action games, this will disappoint you.
There are times when you are watching a sad scene unfold before your eyes while listening to.happy, go lucky tunes that sound as if they were pulled from a top 40 classical album. I thought that the only people that play these games were single men and women that couldn't get a date in real life and so they would play these games and to live out their fantasies. In fact, I used to make fun of people that played any game in the FF series. However, though this might be undeniably aggravating, you will find yourself loading the game again and again because you just can't get enough.Overall, this is an excellent game that will impress FF fans and non fans alike. The control scheme might be simple, but it's still a lot of fun. This is so infuriating that I wanted to throw my PSP through the window on more than one occasion.
Graphics 9/10: The graphics are the best that I have seen for the PSP so far. The moment that I saw the first image pop up on my PSP screen, I was memorized. The cutscenes look like they were pulled straight out of an XBOX game. The in game graphics are equally impressive with their stunning visual effects and incredible color-filled environments. I'll start off by saying that I am not a Final Fantasy fan. X to use an item, the triangle to defend, and the square button to evade. You will also have to push the D pad right and left to select your items, but that's it.
Replay value 8/10: There are enough unlockables and side missions to keep you busy for quite some time. I would say that you will probably spend 40-60 hours playing this game.Sound 8/10: The musical score is fine, but I found some of the classical music during the in game cutscenes to be a little strange. The Right and Left triggers are used to move the camera from right to left and the x button is the primary fight button. Boy was I wrong.I decided to buy this game after reading reviews on Amazon and Gamespot. A little odd, but for the most part, the musical score is uniqly impressive.All of this is great, but I can't tell you about this game without mentioning its biggest flaw.
Gameplay 9/10: The controls are very simplistic, and believe me when I tell you that this is a good thing. In fact, there are only three buttons that you will have to push during a fight. Every time you die, it takes you back to the main menu. Take it from someone who hated the series at one point; if you own a PSP, you must play this game.
My brother got this game for me because I love FF7, 8 and 9. I stuck it out but could not like the main character enough to really feel bad for him at the end. The old FFs. Unfortunately, this game is not an RPG, more of a button-masher and I'm not crazy about those. Something's wrong when the guy you're using throughout the game doesn't make you sad and they pulled out every trick in the book to make you feel for him. Stick with the original FF7 if you're looking for good gameplay, great characters, and a well-developed storyline (without the creators hammering it into you that you should love the main character when he's so generic) rather than just good graphics.
Couldn't even get past the first level. Either I really suck, or they made it too hard. Didn't have patience to try it more than a few times for an hour or two.
