Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for PSP Reviews by Gamers

Crisis Core and Chains of Olympus really show the hardware capabilities of the PSP . One thing you will notice right away is the graphic, of how it looks so stunning that you thought it's a PS2 game instead of a PSP.. I rated this game based on my enjoyment of the game.. if rated it on tech level.. it will be around 8-9. I don't know if it's because i know how this game will turn out in the end kind of ruined it for me or not.. but sometimes i didn't exactly draw in while playing this game or not as eager to get back and play it after stopping :( Anyway, Crisis Core is action-rpg, one man party, live action battle. There are some new changes here and there.. but if you are those who can easily adapt to new materials easily.. then it's no big deal. Your limit breaks and summons will be control randomly by the DMW (the slot). The DMW is useful in boss fights but annoying during random battles sometimes. Crisis core include ideas from various games like; Star ocean 3 (ability to run around dodging attacks and magics), pokemon (being able to carry only 6 materias at a time), Grandia III (mana egg fusion). The game is kind of boring the first 2-3 hours into the game due to limited abilities and materia. Once the missions mode are unlocked, you should play through those, since they are the only places you can get your summons, powerful materias and items. It you play it fast, the game will last around 18-20 hours... but if you try to unlock everything.. probably 27+ hours. There's no world map in this game, leveling up is also random by the slot machine as well. It's a little weird at first but you will get use to it :) Crisis core is a decent RPG, but one of the best Graphic game on the PSP. I'm lookin foward to the remake of FFVII after playing this game :)
