How much do you love Final Fantasy VII? If your answer is anything more enthusiastic than "It's okay," then you absolutely need to play Crisis Core. Even more so than Dirge of Cerberus, this addition to the Final Fantasy VII universe expands the fiction and has a significant impact on how you view the events of the original game.
If you were to watch a movie and periodically pause it for five to ten minutes, you would, in essence, be creating an experience similar to the one GI had with Crisis Core. This may seem like an odd analogy to make, but this game's combat system is just as uneventful as a movie's pause screen. Most of the battles can be completed without looking at the PSP's screen. With enemies exhibiting the liveliness of a stuffed sloth and your character automatically latching onto the next foe, it's just a matter of tapping the X button in succession. Gameplay this poor deserves to be tossed to the wolves, but the game itself isn't a complete loss. GI enjoyed watching it. Like the motion picture Advent Children, the computer-generated movies knock you to the floor and smack you in the face with highly stylized crackerjack action. Zack's tragic tale is also the perfect companion to Final Fantasy VII. Once you play this, you'll want to jump right back into the PSone classic. So, if you've done everything but make love to your Final Fantasy VII discs, throw on your galoshes, because this story is worth trudging through the foulest of gameplay for.
Reunion is the big-screen remaster of Crisis Core that so many have asked for since the original game was released. For those who shun the smaller screens of handheld gaming, this will be their first time experiencing this early chapter in the ongoing Final Fantasy VII saga. The big question is, is it worth the wait?
A new Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Play Arts Kai figure is coming this summer, with pre-orders closing today!
Cloud Strife and Zack Fair are two deeply beloved characters in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, but which one is the better protagonist?
Both are great. Zack was the reason how Cloud became who he is, is just a really fun character and had to go through a ton of struggle so I do rate him a bit higher. Can't wait for the two to perhaps fight with or against eachother in the next part or two in the remake games.
This score is rather low coming from Game Informer ne ways im getting this game in a couple days...
i can't believe im saying this but gamespot might have had the better review this time. im a ff fan though ill play just about any ff game no matter how crappy it is.
A buy for me. PSP is back.
It's official that Game Informer is a bunch of Microsoft money hats. Thanks for ruining games Microsoft :)
this review, but as others. I am a Final Fantasy fan and I will get this regardless of view because one of the reasons I do play them besides the gameplay is because of the great movie storylines that the majority of them get.
I guess some people just don't like a good story with their game and that's alright to me as long as I get what I want out of the game.
I should have this game by this weekend. Can't wait :)
