Maybe it was the music, maybe it was the graphics, maybe it was my complete lack of expectations for the game that made this game soar to the top of my favourite games of all time list, it seems as if ever since Enix joined with Squaresoft.. everything has gone downhill, but this is a turning point in that downhill spiral the company has descended into, expanding on a character in FF7 with such detail, that I actually like Zack more then I ever have Cloud.
Like I said, I had absolutely no expectations for this game - I bought it simply because it was FF7, I avoided all the reviews and media, everybody’s opinions about the game and it turned out fantastically, maybe its the hype that destroys a game for me...
The last time I felt like this about a game was years and years ago with Zelda:OoT, and for a game to bring back those feelings in me stronger then ever, it has to be good; the music is brilliant, the graphics are pretty much the best you'll ever see out of a PSP and the combat is just amazing, but could have been that little bit better in a few aspects of the combat.. but that didn't stop me enjoying it to its fullest.
The story in the game which focuses around Zack is brilliantly done, but other parts of the story are flawed, filled with holes and boring, but that’s only about 10%, so I think its forgivable to an extent.
I just have to say.. If you haven't played it, play it now - just don't expect it to be as epic as FF7 was and you'll enjoy it much, much more.
