Crisis Core






Now I am new to the Final Fantasy series as far as playing is concerned. I have read up on the history of Final Fantasy. A well crafted, elaborate, tail of pain, sorrow, triumph, victory. The latest installment of this series is Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII. I have gotten my hands on a copy of this newest game in the series. I know that VII is beloved by millions as one of the greatest RPG's ever. Now know that I am not an RPG fan by any means. to be honest they bore the tears out of me. I am an action game type of girl. And I love puzzle games with a passion. You would think that RPG would be right up my alley. They just moved terribly slow for me. This is a new take on RPG's though. An intoxicating coctail of RPG mixed with a cathartic dose of action. It's the best of both worlds. The strategy puzzle that is the RPG, moved at a tension filled pace by the action element.

Now I'm not very far into this title. What I will say is that for a handheld game it is on par with God Of War. This is a Final Fantasy title thru and thru. And not just any FF title, one with the coveted VII after it's name. The musical score is brilliant, as well as cut scenes and in game graphics. This game not only deserves the title of VII, it is the apitomy of what everyone loves about VII. Remixed brillianty, it takes itself seriously as a barer of the VII story. This a full fledged VII title. No corner cutting here.

Well that is all I have so far on this game. I'm going to go back to playing. On Wednesday when this game comes out snatch it up, cause it won't be sitting on the shelf long.
