I now not all psp gamers are into rpg's but let me tell ya that this game got a lot of action, and the story line OMG, it is really a must have, it takes the psp to the next level.
If you like a good story and awsome grafics go for it

I love final fantasy and couldnt wait for this game to come out. I played alot when I first got it, but played less and less as I found how repetative it is. I know how all Final Fantasy games are repetative, but this was insane. You run through extra mission after extra mission to power up, but its always the exact same mission. Plus leveling up is random!!! what kinda bull is that? You could play for an hour and level up 5 times, then die and do the same exact thing yet only level up once. The game was gorgeous though. Movies looked like they were out of Advent Children. The story was a spin-off of one of the best video games ever and delivered. I rated the game a 3 because it was such a tease. You want to reveal the story and finish it, but in order to do so you have to complete hours and hours of boring crap. The burden of playing outweighed the desire for the story. In conclusion, the game had amazing potential but failed on the most basic of values.

Without rehashing everything good everyone else has said, I just have to say it's the best game I've played for a long time, and certainly the best for the PSP.

I have avoided FF games for years, mainly because I hate turn-based battle systems. I bought this one because it was real-time, and what a wonderful experience it was. Since playing it, I've decided to try some of the other FF games, and so far I've had more good experiences.

I have nothing bad to say about Crisis Core. Graphics were amazing, music strikes you emotionally, the story is excellent .. with the ending being VERY emotional. I put over 130 hours into the game, so I got a lot of game-play for my money.

The game was so good, I was depressed for days afterwards. It's definitely in my "play-again" pile of games. :)

this game is awesome i have not been able to put it down sincei got it. beside being a bit easy the game is fun to play and gives insight into the world of FF7 some things are contridictory but over all the game is accurate and the cut scenes are beautiful! play this game.

I gave away my old PSP to my younger sister after running out of worthwhile games to play for this platform. However, when Crisis Core was released, I had to buy another PSP for myself (this time around, the slim version). To me, FFVII is the mother of all RPGs; during its day, it revolutionized 3D RPG gaming with its epic storyline and lush visual effects-- Dirge of Cerberus, a recent spin-off, didn't quite cut it. Crisis Core, on the other hand, is just pure exhilaration. It brings back nostalgic memories of the videogame classic that is FFVII. Yes, it's not perfect with its slot-machine-like DMW system which is beyond control and the myriad of useless materia that overwhelms the inventory. Where it shines is in the jaw-dropping graphics borne out of the years of Final Fantasy evolution. I'm halfway through all the missions and treasure-hunting involved to acquire the most powerful materia including Quake, Hell Blizzaga and Ultima. I don't quite understand how some people can declare this game as "too easy". There are monsters in the missions with HPs as high as 200,000 to even 1,000,000; most high-level monsters take upwards to 30 minutes just to beat (some taking several tries before being successful). Overall, this is a fun and engrossing game that at 50 hours, I'm just halfway into the storyline. This is a must-have for all FVII fans the world over.
