During the game, you hear many other audio cues such as the voice announcing 'combat mode initiated' to the quick burst of the Final Fantasy victory theme when you complete a mission. The audio is used intelligently to further the game and add atmosphere. While that sounds simple and logical, it is often not done properly in a handheld title. Audio is also very well mixed with proper sound levels utilized to take advantage of the PSP's audio output functions.
Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII had a huge pedigree to live up to and also had to overcome the disappointment everyone felt with Dirge of Cerberus. I can easily say it met the challenge. This is an engaging game with a great story and a character I now rank as one of my favorite in the entire Final Fantasy series. The game mechanics, atmosphere and stunning cinematics all tie together to make this one of the best games on the PSP, and that is saying a lot considering the recent flood of triple-A titles on it recently. Do yourself a favor: pick this game up, revisit the beloved world of Final Fantasy VII and prepare for a great ride.
Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes and Violence.
