description
Seven years prior to the events of FINAL FANTASY VII — The Shinra Company is rapidly increasing its influence through its monopoly on mako energy and military might. With the burgeoning city of Midgar as its base and symbol of prosperity, Shinra is on the verge of establishing absolute dominance over the world. SOLDIER is a group of skilled combat operatives within Shinra.
The elite within the group — those strong enough to be deemed SOLDIER 1st Class — are respected and idolized by the citizenry. Zack is a young SOLDIER 2nd Class who aspires to become a 1st. He spends his days carrying out assignments under the guidance of his 1st Class mentor, Angeal. During an operation in Wutai, a large number of SOLDIER members, led by 1st Class operative Genesis, go missing. The severity of the situation prompts Shinra executives to deploy even more SOLDIER operatives in hopes of bringing an end to the war with Wutai—and conducting an investigation into the mass desertion.
The ones assigned to the mission are Zack, Angeal, and the 1st Class hero who is known the world over as Sephiroth... What truths lie behind Genesis's disappearance? What secrets bind the three SOLDIER 1st Class operatives? For Zack, a cruel and fateful struggle awaits...

Quite Disappointing The first time you run through the game you realize a few things. 1: There is no really good materia tutorial, so you have to figure it out as you go. 2: NO SKIPPING CUTSCENES. This is so annoying when you loose a boss battle that you want to throw your PSP across the room. 3: NO CHECKPOINTS. When you die, you go back to the main menu, that's it. This is especially annoying when you loose a boss and especially when you have to keep going to get to it from the save point near it. 4: Difficulty is unbalanced between bosses to creatures which makes the game annoying. 5: Missions are either BORING or HARD. And you can't bring them into a new game +. After you beat the game you realize how annoying all these things and more are. And especially having to go back through boring cutscenes and cheesy story, not to mention horrible voice acting. So spare yourself the aggravation and broken PSP and skip this game, there's really only one good cutscene in the whole game and you can find it easily on YouTube. Don't buy this game.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII this game is so famously good, but a few extra notes... if an role-playing game is about getting into your role, then this game sets you up extremely well by giving your character some pretty amazing animations. i don't mean just the moves and materia in battle, but reactions in conversation, facial expressions (in the cutscenes that use the game engine), lip-synch for the english voiceovers, etc. if you are familiar with the final fantasy 7 universe, zack's perspective is a terrific point-of-view from which you'll get to see some key events, as well as take part in others. the new characters angeal and genesis have ties to old characters like sephiroth and zack himself. be warned, however, if you're not a fan of final fantasy 7, the story here may be bewildering, making the amount of time you'll need to spend on side quests and levelling a bit of a chore.
Must Get Game, for or not for fans, either way!!! I've played this game because a friend of mine had it, now im gonna buy it, just because of how much of an awesome game this is....Story hit me so hard... T_T
20/10 :D
