 One of the Best Games for the PSP June 29, 2008
If you are a final fantasy fan and own a PSP, this games is a must have. It goes a little away from the traditional RPG scheme as it allows you to manually move around and attack yourself, kind of like Zelda but in the final fantasy universe. The game is a spin off from one of the best final fantasy games, and the game play as well as the story line is one of the best. br /br /If you are not a fan of final fantasy, you still will probably enjoy it if you like Zelda type games. The game has amazing cut scenes that even a Nintendo Wii couldn't handle, and you get to be an active player instead of just sitting there taking turns casting magic, etc.br /br /Overall, one of the best games so far for the PSP. Check out IGN's ratings on their site, as they give an accurate review as well by awarding it one of their Editor's Choice Award. A definite buy.

There are plenty of reviews about the latest Square-Enix Final Fantasy game: "FFVII: Crisis Core," so this reviewer will focus more on explaining why the game is so popular, and why you don't need a PhD in Final Fantasy lore to enjoy it. br /br /Final Fantasy VII was a block-buster hit when it came out, and it comes as no surprise that a game which has sold more than 10 million copies as of this review has many, many devoted followers. The franchise as a whole may be the best-selling Role-playing Game (RPG) franchise ever. When Squaresoft decided to make a film about the flagship title in the FF franchise, people flocked to see it. When they announced that they were making a prequel to FFVII, fanboys and girls everywhere exploded with joy, but the game rises above mere "fan service."br /br /Even if you've never touched a Final Fantasy game, you won't be lost in a series of cliches, in-jokes and references to past plots and characters.br /People will rightly point out that the game does make some references to past games; FFVII cameos and events occur occasionally. Nonetheless, these moments rarely are integral to either the story or the gameplay. On the contrary, the game's plot is new, and as a prequel, the game's timeline fortunately precludes most of the drama and plot-twists of it's chronological predecessor. This means anyone can pick up this game and be able to appreciate and understand the vast majority of the story. In short, the game is a stand alone novel, and while some background knowledge can add further depth to a few dialogues and events, even a novice will be able to follow the rather straight-forward story. br /br /The gameplay is much the same vein. Many things--such as materia--will seem strange to newcomers, but the helpful tutorials (and instruction booklet) should help you overcome any confusiing parts of the game. br /On the other hand, if you've played Final Fantasy games before--especially the seventh in the series--then you need no introduction to the game: it plays very similarly to FFVII (with a few minor tweaks for the PSP.) br /br /Plot battles and CG movies are usually short, and perfect for a bus ride, waiting room, or any other brief moment during which you decide to use your portable gaming system. The main story itself is fairly robust for a portable RPG. I clocked in at around 20 hours, but I had neglected almost all of the side-quests, extra dialogues and the dozens and dozens of optional "Missions." Add those in and one can quickly burn 60 or more hours in a playthrough. As if that's not enough for a bargain game, you can even play a "Game+" mode which carries over some items from your previous save.br /br /In conclusion, FFVII:Crisis Core is very accessible to new players, yet it offers enough fan candy that "veterans" to the series won't be disappointed. In addition,it's a great game, as most of the reviewers here have already said. It is fun to play, lengthy for a PSP game, and has lots of extras to keep its replay value above average. I highly recommend this game to any with a PSP; it's truly a must have game.

Great story with tons of play time. Tack on a wide variety of side missions and awesome cut scenes and this game will have you pulled in. One of the best 5 games on PSP.
