Although the game has officially been out last month, it was only recently that I managed to complete it. And man, was it fun while it lasted! I'll admit, I've been a long time Final Fantasy fan and 7 is my favorite among all of them (along with Final Fantasy Tactics). So undoubtedly, after it was announced, I looked forward on getting my hands on a copy. So once it hit the shelves, I immediately got one.
Crisis Core revolves around the character Zack Fair, a First-Class Soldier and Cloud's (FF7 Main Character) friend. Basically, the game is a prequel to the original Final Fantasy VII.
The gameplay is pretty simple, you move Zack around the field and often times you'll randomly encounter enemies. The battles are also fairly simple, you attack enemies and use items while a "slot machine" (called the Digital Mind Wave) spins. Depending on the matches, the DMW could give Zack a good status effect or allow him to perform a special attack called a Limit Break.
The missions in the game are very easy and involves killing a bunch of enemies, getting a few chests, then claiming the rewards afterwards. The missions could be done in a few minutes, so as someone who's always on the go, I could play one or two missions before heading off to do something important.
Crisis Core's graphics are pretty good for a PSP game - the CG cutscenes themselves are well done - while the soundtrack can get pretty repetitive. The classic FF7 tunes are still pretty good, though!
Overall, I will say it's a must have if you own a PSP. Otherwise, read a few reviews and decide if you'd like a purchase.
