Square Enix hit the nail on the head with this one plain and simple. Right from the start you will notice this little UMD is packed full of content. Two different Story modes, quick matches, multiplayer, extensive bios, the ability to record fights, and more.
The basic idea is a fighting/rpg style game where as before every match you choose your character and equip them with different items, gear, and summons that you get from playing that will modify your stats. Once thats done you go into the match with your character and fight. The fighting is really simple to pick up but fairly hard to master. The basics are that you build bravery points by using bravery attacks. the higher the points get the more damage you will do when you use an actual hp strike. Also while raising your own bravery you can simultaneously lower your opponents points by landing your attacks. The skill comes from learning when to use bravery or hp attacks as when you use hp attacks your points diminish and if your opponent catches you off guard there points will skyrocket. At the end of each battle you will collect experience, items, etc. As you level up eventually you will unlock new powers and can use better gear.
Theres a lot more to it so I will just get into the pros/cons:
Pros: Beautiful graphics, plenty of characters all brought back perfectly, Good voice acting, epic music, and more content in one UMD then I've ever seen.
Cons: No online multiplayer!!!, the first story mode can get old (but the second one is way better), and it can get insanely hard sometimes even on the easier settings.
All in all if you are a FF fan I believe you will love this as it was made as the ultimate fan service project. There is soooo much more then I was able to share and I label this game a MUST rent, and highly approve of as a definite buy.

Disidia: Final Fantasy

This game was very fun. In many ways it was enjoyable. Combat was fun, including the ultimate moves that could finish off an enemy in one move if successful enough. But, it did have it's share of flaws.
First things first. Combat was cool. The environment was really interactive, including the abillity to run along walls or destroy certain objects. Combat was fun with the cool power ups known as EX-Mode.
A supermove that could greatly turn the tide of battle, if not winning it for you. It also allowed you to to do certain types of button commands that were different between characters. Plus, the story mode was cool and fun. Being able to play as a main protagonist and a main antagonists from ten of the games was fun for a variety of characters.
On the otherhand, combat was fun for some characters. Players each have two different kinds of attacks. One that makes them more powerful and the enemy weaker and another that takes away HP. Some of these attacks are incredibly slow and weak, while others are more powerful than the other. Plus, EX-Mode is usless if you cant land a hit on the enemy. The one fault of story mode was constant one on one battles, no one against many.
Overall, the game was fun. Even though the flaws were definetly noticeable, they weren't enough to stop you from liking the game. Especially if you are a great fan of the Final Fantasy series. It doesn't really matter what the critics say.
