GREAT
Graphics: Overall, it was great(when it was released, anyway). Square REALLY knows how to make to CG sequences and they really play a role in the game to convey the story to the player.
Sound: The music is impeccable in matching the differing tones of the game in its different stages, although the voiceovers are questionable. Having our main character who's about 17 or 18 sound like a 12 year old boy kinda gets on your nerves, believe me.
Controls: I dont think you can really rate controls in an rpg game i mean cmon...
Storyline: The best I've encountered in a game. PERIOD.(mind you, i havent played FF7)
Value: This one is also questionable. If they made a replay mode or something like that, it wouldn't have hurt now wouldn't it? On the other hand though, this game is loaded full of mini games and side quests.
It's pretty damn good I'd say...
