Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PSP)

from: Square Enix

June 20, 2008
Well, as you can see in the other reviews, there are quite a few negative issues that some people have with this game. However, I love this game. I've nearly finished, and when I do, I'm going to play it again. To me, thats the mark of an excellent game.

This is not a turn based, strategic battle system affair like its parent game, but rather an action based game. I love the hacky-slashy combat - which to me seems perfect for an impulsive "leap before you look" type like Zack. The battle is complicated by the DMW (Digital Mind Wave), a slot wheel that spins to dole out bonuses. This is presumably meant to represent Zack's SOLDIER enhancements, as it releases limit breaks, levels him up, and deals out random smaller bonuses. Personally, ... Read More:

Space Invaders Extreme (Nintendo DS)

from: Square Enix

July 04, 2008
I used to play the original Space Invaders when it first appeared in the arcades way back in 1978 and, over the years, have played a great many incarnations of this classic - however, none have lived up to the addictive simplicity of the original game.

Space Invaders Extreme does though manage to successfully update the original and it's one of the few updates that actually works extremely well. I'm really impressed by Space Invaders Extreme and would heartily recommend it to players both young and old - even if you hated the original you'll love this!

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (Nintendo DS)

from: Square Enix

February 15, 2008
I was expecting it to be at least a bit like FFTA for the gba
but its nothing like it. You can't have all the creatures like moogles
and things, the fighting style is way too fast and it was really quite hard. My advice is, if you liked FFTA on gba and want something like it,
don't have this.

Final Fantasy I (PSP)

from: Square Enix

February 08, 2008
I've played this game and basically all that happens is that you get told your some kind of legendary warriors and plonked(thats right, plonked) into a world to figure out what to do. Practically nadda to tell you what to do and absolutely MINIMUM storyline to get enveloped in. So if it's the great storylines of the latter games in the Final Fantasy series your interested in(like me), this game really isn't for you.

Im mainly writing this just to clarify this isn't the first Final Fantasy on a hand held (like stated in a previous review), and that FF 3,4,5, and 6 are available for the GameBoy SP/Advance and DS. I would recommend 4,5 and 6 if your thinking of investing in some retro FF (5 having a similar job based battle system to this one).

The World Ends With You (Nintendo DS)

from: Square Enix

April 18, 2008
What can i say, This game is what RPG lovers and DS users have been waiting for, completely original, innovative, and utterly bad-ass to boot,

You have here everything that the masters at Square Enix and their Jupiter Counterparts have strived to provide in previous franchises, but in this case they have almost certainly raised the bar in EVERY ASPECT.. Stratagem, Action, Puzzles, all kicked together with a fresh street look taken straight off the sheets of a Manga comic book.. Absolutely Astonishing Gameplay, Wicked Dialogue, Great Difficulty / Learning Curve..

What else could you ask for?

Well, i'll say it right now, a Sequel, or a Wii version, this baby could be bigger than the Final Fantasy Series, and i don't say stuff like that lightly... ... Read More:

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (Nintendo DS)

from: Square Enix

June 27, 2008
Final Fantasy Tactics has always appealed to those gamers who were looking for a FF game with a little extra kick, and let me tell you... this game has it in spades!

It begins with the same typical story, ripped straight from it's predecessor. Luso, a young boy, gets sucked into a magical book called a grimoire, and finds himself in the peculiar land of Ivalice. I'll spare you the torture of the the subsequent happenings, but it's all textbook fantasy from there on.

Luckily for me, and most other players, the story is not where this games strengths lie and is most definitely not the reason I bought it. Unlike other FF games, tactics relies heavily on what it's title would suggest and requires the player to do much more than simply hack n' blast through the enemies. You are ... Read More:

Final Fantasy III (Nintendo DS)

from: Square Enix

May 04, 2007
I'm a sucker for role-palying games (RPGs) and this one fulfills my geek needs. You get a team of cute-as-heck characters to progress up levels. The graphics are very pretty - I never get bored of the way the view of your characters spins through three-dimensions when a battle commences.
The music is very good too - probably some of the most atmospheric music that I've heard on a DS game. It's funny because when I was about 16 hours through the game, I thought that the music and gameplay was getting a bit repetitive. But then you complete another stage and the game opens up a whole batch of new character classes to you. Actually, on the topic of character classes, I think that one of the cunning things about the game is that you HAVE to change character classes (or 'job classes' in the game) in order to ...
