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.

During an operation in Wutai a large number of SOLDIER members led by 1st Class operative Genesis go missing.

Simply amazing - Reviewed on 2008-07-13
Without rehashing everything good everyone else has said, I just have to say it's the best game I've played for a long time, and certainly the best for the PSP.
I have avoided FF games for years, mainly because I hate turn-based battle systems. I bought this one because it was real-time, and what a wonderful experience it was. Since playing it, I've decided to try some of the other FF games, and so far I've had more good experiences.
I have nothing bad to say about Crisis Core. Graphics were amazing, music strikes you emotionally, the story is excellent .. with the ending being VERY emotional. I put over 130 hours into the game, so I got a lot of game-play for my money.
The game was so good, I was depressed for days afterwards. It's definitely in my "play-again" pile of games. :)
A worthy spin-off of the original FFVII!! - Reviewed on 2008-07-02
I gave away my old PSP to my younger sister after running out of worthwhile games to play for this platform. However, when Crisis Core was released, I had to buy another PSP for myself (this time around, the slim version). To me, FFVII is the mother of all RPGs; during its day, it revolutionized 3D RPG gaming with its epic storyline and lush visual effects-- Dirge of Cerberus, a recent spin-off, didn't quite cut it. Crisis Core, on the other hand, is just pure exhilaration. It brings back nostalgic memories of the videogame classic that is FFVII. Yes, it's not perfect with its slot-machine-like DMW system which is beyond control and the myriad of useless materia that overwhelms the inventory. Where it shines is in the jaw-dropping graphics borne out of the years of Final Fantasy evolution. I'm halfway through all the missions and treasure-hunting involved to acquire the most powerful materia including Quake, Hell Blizzaga and Ultima. I don't quite understand how some people can declare this game as "too easy". There are monsters in the missions with HPs as high as 200,000 to even 1,000,000; most high-level monsters take upwards to 30 minutes just to beat (some taking several tries before being successful). Overall, this is a fun and engrossing game that at 50 hours, I'm just halfway into the storyline. This is a must-have for all FVII fans the world over.
