Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Review

Intro

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is anaction role-playing game developed bySquare Enix for the PlayStation Portable. The game is a prequel to Final Fantasy VII and is also the sixth instalment in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

Presentation

Where to start... we all know that all Final Fantasy games have spectacular graphics.. so the question is, how are the graphics on a handheld console? Well the cut scenes are absolutely stunning, no surprise there, you'll be taken away every time a cut scene appears.

As for the in-game graphics, their obviously a little knocked down from the movie cut scenes, but are just as amazing. They look smooth, crisp and suit the game just perfectly for a PSP.

Gameplay

Well to begin with the gameplay has changed from the usual Final Fantasy fighting gameplay. Instead of the, wait your turn to attack, then it's your chance to attack style of gameplay that we all come to love. Which is a great change to the previous games. The controls are a bit technical at first, taking some time to get used to but once you get into it the game controls will just come naturally. The controls really give this game a real depth to the fighting style of this Final Fantasy game.

Verdict

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is a great game, with fantastic visuals and amazing cut scenes for a handheld console. The gameplay also is a great take on what a PSP can do. The different style of fighting hasn't down-founded anything about this title.

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is a defiant for your collection and at such a great price you'll be missing out on a classic game for your PSP.

Score:

4/5
