FF7 : Crisis Core for the PSP

For those who have played Final Fantasy 7 would be somewhat interested to try anything which is related to it. I am no different. No, i do not own a PSP, it belongs to my sister's boyfriend.

The game bears a lot resemblance to the original FF7 BUT it is much more linear which the developers tried to cover up with its sidequests called "Missions" in the game. There are many scenes and items which will bear great significance to loyal FF7 players.

I loved the materia system in this game which is relatively simple unless you want to freakish and merge them to become the highest level possible just for the sake of completing the game.

Its different from the original game whereby every battle will be real time and not time-based turns. I suppose they just want to move on faster and also to make the game more exciting for the newer generation of players.

It took me over 23 hours to finish the game, in real life time it took me about 2-3 weeks. The original game took me almost 50 hours to complete (48+ if not mistaken).

The game does explain more about some stories in FF7, you get to see many familiar characters and in a way somewhat reveals their history. That is the whole aim of this 10th anniversary game.
