PSP, 2008

Time to Complete: 15-25 hours
Crisis Core is the oft-maligned prequel to
Final Fantasy VII, one of the most beloved games of all time. Released ten years after FF7 and transpiring several years
before FF7, this game stars FF7 bit-player Zack Fair. A high ranking member of SOLDIER with a doomed destiny, Zack is a real hero here; he is a selfless and kind character who stands as a stark contrast to FF7's far less likable Cloud Strife. On that note - Why is "SOLDIER" all caps? Is it an acronym? Sadly, even after playing this game I don't have an answer.
FF7 has achieved legendary status in the history of video games. It was an epic story that followed an intrepid band as they set out to save the world, stopping only occasionally to milk Tifa.
Does this game measure up? Read on to find out.
