Video Game Reviews of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Customer Review: Entertaining Game, Lovely Graphics
Summary: 3 Stars

Plot-wise, Crisis Core functions as a prequel of sorts. The action follows Zack and tends to detail the events that took place *before* the original Final Fantasy VII. If you enjoyed that game, you'll definitely enjoy this one-- you'll be meeting some of the same characters and fighting some of the same enemies. Including finding Vincent in the basement of ShinRa mansion. Instead of wandering a map for said enemies and experience, you'll be going through "missions" accessed in the menu.
Graphics-wise, it's *very* pretty. There are some amazing video sequences in it.
My main gripe with the system is how you level up and gain limit breaks-- it's generated by "chance" by the CPU, graphically represented by spinning dials, like those of a slot-machine. It tends to hinder control of the flow of battle, which is probably a good thing, because otherwise Zack is rather overpowered... though, that doesn't make it any less irritating.
In general, however, it's a pretty entertaining game.

Description of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

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...
