DG writes: "Given all of the misses lately, you may not remember that Final Fantasy is a top tier franchise. While the numbered sequels never disappoint and there are the occasional spin-off surprises (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII springs to mind), most of the recent off-shoots haven't lived up to expectations. Unfortunately those hoping that Square Enix's newest Wii game, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, would be the fresh blood the franchise needs are in for a rude awakening. While this game is cute and has some great ideas, it's impossible to overlook the game's multiple problems (both gameplay and technical)."
