Never played a Final Fantasy game until this one, and it became an instant favorite.

User Rating: 10 | Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII PSP
This game is, without a doubt, the best PSP available (as of the date I'm writing). Even if you hate Final Fantasy games or aren't the biggest fan of role-playing games, you will still love this game. If you look up a timeline, you will understand the story a lot better. And the gameplay is very different and complex, but it still makes for a super-fun ride in the game. You press L and R to move back and forth through your moves during battles, and press X to perform that move. It may sound difficult, but you will enjoy it, trust me.

All the people that say God of War is better, do not listen to them. GoW is about 3 times shorter, and it is quite repetitive. Final Fantasy has no repetitiveness and will take you about 17 hours to beat on your first time. It also has incredible CGI cutscenes and a great storyline. It also quite a challenge, for you'll have to fight tough bosses and go through many waves of enemies.

This game is full of challenge, a great storyline, excellent CGI sutscenes, amazing controls, it's lengthy, and a better game than you think if you are not a fan of Final Fantasy or role-playing games.

I cannot think of a better PSP game than this. Even if you usually hate RPG's (like me), this game will still keep you hooked. This lengthy Final Fantasy game will stand as #1 PSP game in my book for quite a while. If you are thinking about buying this game, DON'T THINK, JUST BUY IT.
