 Final Fantasy VII Developed By: Square Co. Ltd.Review By: xtremedrummerguy Written on: Thursday, December, 29th, 2005 at 06:17:24 pm Rating: 100% Site: here System: Playstation Download: here Final Fantasy VII YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING. This has got to be one of the best all around RPGs on the face of the earth, if not the best game. It has its flaws, and yes, of course it has been overrated on a couple of standpoints, but it WAS made in the 90\'s when games were testing their limits. STORY / PLOT 9 / 10 A very interesting and deep story. With a strong cocky protagonist, the story takes a wild swing with the essence of space invasion and total corruption the government. There are twists everywhere and always has you wanting more. The trouble is, if you don\'t look hard enough, you miss the whole point. GAMEPLAY / REPLAYABILITY 10 / 10 Have all the materia? Mastered them? Have duplicates? I thought not. Chocobo raising, racing, breeding, getting high points on the snowboard, battling in the submarine, arm wrestling with a sumo; all of these and much more to do. I keep mentioning to my friends that all these minigames could be a game on their own, and they could be. The battles are fun to watch and every time you play this game, you learn and understand more about the story behind the story behind the story. So much allegory has been put into this game, it could\'ve been a best-selling novel a decade ago. VISUALS 9 / 10 You all might say, it was 1997 and the polygons are what they should be. I say, sure, but can you justify the blocky textures and the polygons meshing with each other? The visuals are fantastic, especially the cutscenes, but there are times when you feel it\'s lacking. SOUND / MUSIC 10 / 10 Everything fits together and the sound effects are great. When there\'s a sound to be expected, there\'s a sound, and some random effects for the humorous parts. And the music, I doubt you have not heard the Chocobo theme song or the millions of parodies and remixes of the Final Fantasy III theme. Or the engaging boss battle music, recently done live by Nobuo Uematsu and his Black Mages band. All done in midi, I\'d say it was a job fantabulously well done. CONTROLS 10 / 10 A good solid RPG control system. Being one of the first to utilize an all 3D environment, the controls handled extremely well. There are so many varieties of control methods used for the minigames, it\'s hard to believe it\'s so simple. Once again, I salute the developers at Square. OVERALL 10 / 10 I won\'t say this again, but this has to be the best overall game I have ever played. I was enthralled the first time I played it, I was searching the second time, and as I look back, I want to play it again just for kicks. There\'s so much to do, and so little time to do it in. AVERAGE :: 9 + 10 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 58 / 6 = 9.7 10 / 10 ::xtremedrummerguy@hotmail.com:: Screenshots    write a review
