Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII with Limited Edition UMD Case

This game is the one reason I shelled out 169.99 for a PSP. I went to the launch party in San Francisco and received a Shinra T-Shirt as well as a Shinra ID Card. I must say after watching all the gorgeous footage it made me relive my days playing FFVII on the old Playstation back in High School.

Pros:
-Graphics are amazing!
-Story is very compelling
-Familiar places give me chills...
-Music is great as well
-Voice acting is one of the greatest I have seen

Cons:
-Controls are a bit clunky for movement
-The Slot Machine level ups were a bit of a turn off... random.

Thats about it... I believe if you have been wavering on getting this game... I think you should pick it up! The bonus Shinra UMD case is nifty as well. If you loved FFVII this is a MUST!

This is a wonderful and refreshing return to Midgar. The combat system is great and contrary to many other reviews, the slot machine style DMV is an innovation and works for you more than against. The limited edition UMD Case.... Some pictures it looks leather, some pictures it looks like a solidly constructed rubberized case. This case is, in actuality, a very cheaply made piece of plastic akin to a promotional toy you'd get with a kid's meal. The clips inside look like they'd snap extremely easily. It holds two UMDs. I'm not trying to disuade you from purchasing the copy with the case (it's the same price, you'd be stupid not to.) I'm definitely not saying you shouldn't buy the game (this has nothing to do with the amazing game, in fact I'm telling you to buy it even if you have to buy a PSP too so you can play it). I'm merely informing you on the case quality so you don't get your hopes up too high in regards to the limited edition free gift.

For all ff fans
For all gamers
For everyone!!!

This is the best game for psp!

I love everything... story, graphic, battle mode, characters in other word ALL ^-^

You should buy it! ^_~

Story (8/10): Great story as it relates to Zack but contains gaps in the plot for the other characters, leaving the overall experience not quite connected.

Graphics (10/10): One of the best for the PSP.

Sound (10/10): Usually I zone out the sound on most games but not this one. Voice acting and music were great. Music contains hints of the original FFVII along with its own.

Control (4/10): Poor use of buttons. There is one attack, one dodge, and one block button. The block button is basically useless. I used it for 2 battles against Summons and that is it, I used the dodge for the remaining 98% of the game. Both Magic and physical attacks are mapped to the X button and you use the L&R shoulder buttons to switch through them which can be kind of a pain. With 4 buttons, they should have used one for dodge, 2 for attacks (think GOW's small and heavy attacks), and one for magic. The only positive is that the controls are responsive.

Gameplay (4/10): This is were the game really fails. Crisis Core is a low level Hack n' Slash game especially considering the one button attack command. All battles are basically the same no matter the monster and the "side quests" are dull and really don't give you anything of value.

Overall (7/10): While the production values are great, the gameplay is really lacking. The story will carry you though the game at most once. The only reason for replay would be to collect all the items.

This game is the best game i have played for psp yet. This game have beautiful graphics, is easy to learn how to use the commands, and it have mission mode wich is good to get some extra items and learn a little more about the main char. I recomend this game to any 1 who like rpg or action games. 2 thumbs UP for the final fantasy 7 series creators.
