A gem in the PSP library
Crisis Core is a compelling look back at a very minor character in the cast of Final Fantasy VII. This was a smart move by Square Enix I believe, as it's let them have a whole lot of creative control and potential to craft a memorable and nostalgic story as they have here.

Zack is a fascinating character and a rare breed in the JRPG; he's not an angst ridden, confused teenager. The spectator find themselves instantly liking Zack and his gun-ho attitude and like I said above, is a refreshing change to the normal character types you find in JRPG's nowadays.

The combat is an interesting blend of real time and turn based mechanics, allowing you to cue up attacks from a list and watch them play out instantly. Whilst you initially feel out of control at first, you quickly come to grips with it and the combat shines out as a very enjoyable part of the game; a good thing considering how much there is of it!

There is plenty of content here, the story is engaging and memorable and the presentation is fantastic. The only real drawback is the difficulty; it's simply too easy once the player is accustomed to the combat system.

No title
a very well made game.takes full advantage of psp console power. and makes you understand certain events which happened in between advent children movie and final fantasy 7 orignal game.tells you the link between jenova and sephiroth.

Great so far!
A very text and spoken dialogue rich game - really great for keeping up your Japanese skills and learning more of the language.

Love it so much!
The game was great and that I had both versions: the English & the Japanese. Been playing it few times.

Essential...
For RPG fans. This is the prequel to FFVII; and since every FF has it own unique storys even if you never played a FF game before you can still pick this one up without getting confused. The story is very powerful, combined with likable characters and a very emotional ending, this is a must have if you like RPG genre in general.
