CC: FF VII

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is one of the highest rated games on the PSP (9.0 on Gamespot) and I had to try it out. After playing it already for more than a total of 24 hours, I simply had to agree...

Fantastic graphics, excellent voice acting, very nice cutscenes (and superb opening and ending scenes), good BGM, and a great story (and characters, prequel to FF VII) all combine to make this game a superb buy. Multiple side missions during the game make for additional hours of playability and enjoyment. The levelling up and fight rules are unique (because of the Digital Mind Wave system). Loading times are acceptable. The game itself is not that difficult except later in the last few stages, where I finally needed to look up a walkthrough.

4.5 stars.
