Enjoyable FF VII Game
Let me begin by commenting on the most important two elements that this game has to offer. It looks incredible and will satisfy anyone with some FF VII nostalgia. Since that alone should be enough to sell most fans on the game, I'll move on to some of the details.
Crisis Core's story and characters actually eclipse FF VII by a wide margin. Memorable characters such as Aeris, Tseng, and Sephiroth are brought to life and given much more personality while new characters like Zack and Angeal really bolster an enjoyable story. I enjoyed the customization of the materia system, although it is very complex compared to FF VII. The battles are fun and give a fair amount of control; however, the DMW system became an annoyance by the end of the game as I grew tired of watching slot reels appear onscreen every 5 seconds. The game also offers tons of side missions, but they do nothing to add to the story and feel like a grind pretty quickly. Glad I played this game and would recommend.
