Okay, so I'm ten hours into Crisis Core and I have to say - I'm lovin' every minute of it. It's really got to be one of the best PSP games ever, eclipsed (in my mind) only by Chains of Olympus. The production values here are comparable to a lot of "real" console games, and the story so far is top notch. I won't spoil anything for you; suffice it to say, this is the best Final Fantasy VII story since, well, Final Fantasy VII.
So as the game opens players take the reins as Zack Fair, a character that anyone who's played the original should remember as Cloud's ill-fated buddy from Shin-Ra (and the previous wielder of the Buster Sword). You are an aspiring SOLDIER, hoping to make it into the highest class of warrior known only as the 1sts (firsts).
The game begins with a cutscene very reminescent of the opening in VII. Zack leads an assault on a train as it hurtles through Midgar. And kills people. And then kills a giant monster. And by then you should be comfortable knowing that the game is going to rule.
Anyway,
In conclusion (remember doing that with your papers in highschool?), if you own a PSP (you must be out there somewhere), then you absolutely owe it to yourself to check this game out. Seriously, what are you still reading for? Go, buy it, play it.
