Dirge of Cerberus is a very by the numbers third person shooter. It has some good story filler and some pretty amazing Advent Children quality FMV's. It's nothing revolutionary, and it certainly wont blow you away, but if you happen to be a fan of the whole FF 7 universe, and your looking for some back story on Vincent, it is definitely enjoyable.
Short answer, Yes....Long answer? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss :).....but yeah it was a really bad game imo.The only real reason I'd buy it is if is was cheap enough....and I wanted to collect EVERY FF game.
not really it was label bad for the fans of the game where hoping to have and rpg but then got a 3rd person shooter so thats why it's bad for my oppinniion i think that this game is just good
i played a little of it and for a 3rd person shooter its decent with a good backstory. i think the ff7 fans were expecting some kind of "uber-epikz gamezorz" and instead got a decent 3rd person shooter with some nice cg scenes.
Dirge isn't what I would call a bad game. It looks very nice, and it's got a decent soundtrack and good voice acting going for it. Part of what everyone hated about it was that they just expected a much better game because it had Final Fantasy in the title. Dirge of Cerberus isn't a great game, but it's certainly not bad. It's short, but the story is good, and if your really big on the FF7 story and characters there is a lot of neat stuff going on. If your only a passing fan of FF7, passing meaning played it once and didn't really get the story but thought it was cool, then you'll get even less out of it. If you've played FF7 enough times to get the story as well as Crisis Core and watched Advent Children you'll get a lot more out of it.
I'm a big FF 7 fan and I actually rather enjoyed Dirge of Cerberus. Thing is that I knew it wasn't going to be amazing. If you play it expecting little (aka an open mind) you shouldn't have trouble having a good time.
If your a die-hard Final Fantasy VII and are interested in Vincent's extended storyline, then it's not THAT bad, that's the main reason I bought it, the gameplay is extremely mediocre, which doesn't show anything promising, I personally find it to be a bad version of Devil May Cry, but like I said - buy it and play it if you like Final Fantasy VII enough.
Gameplay: Right, weak point - major weak point, but your not exactly gonna see Vincent in an RPG are you? C'mon the dude has a gun
but the game also leaves out main things, like how he can turn into a spawn and fly around in his cape - and theres only one limit, well two but i wont spoil anything
But in the end if you wanna carry on with the VII story, definently get it
It's basically a sub-par third person shooter. It's still worth playing through if you're a fan of the Final Fantasy 7 universe, as does have a decent story and gives you a lot of background on Vincent.
