I do not agree with Gamespot's review. It makes this game look like a chunk of software disaster. It really is not. I found this game to be very good. Especially considering the time when it was released. The game offers a unique game style and story which I find quite impressive. The game is also long, this is not a game you finish in the "standard" 20 hours or so. Many locations to explore, large maps and structures. This game will definitely keep you busy for quite some time, believe me. The graphics in the game are quite good. Even though much has changed since the game's release, the graphics are good, smooth and convincing. I would play it again if I had the time. Sound, is terrific. Very real, sinks you deeply into the game. Do notplay this game under "broad daylight". Play in the dark, preferrably with headsets on. The sound will take you to other planes of existence, much like in the game itself...:-) Gameplay, is very clear to the casual gamer. No mind teasing puzzles, no what in the world am I suppose to do. Everything is quite clear. The only issue I found was, that when I bought the game I had no map with it. I found it somewhere on the web. I found the map to be absolutely necessary in later stages where I got literally lost. I could not remember where I had to go and where I was before since the places are vast. Absolutely necessary to print this map before starting to play. Certain places seem impossible to cross by jumping. Unless I had read it in the walkthrough, I would have skipped that place and kept on looking for another entrance for who knows how long. Only after reading the walkthrough, I tried it about 30 times, until I finally made it through. The game is stable as a rock. Had no glitches, freezes, lock-ups, crashes whatsoever. Played on Win98se with GeForce2 64MB video card. All in all, the game offers a great gameplay experience. Be advised that the game is large, so get ready to invest a lot of time on it. The sotory unfolds really well and cutscenes are very nice too. If you can still find it, it should be quite cheap by now. Give it a try. You will not regret it.
Blah, blah, blah. With blahs we did not erect what videogaming means to the world nowadays. You can try and explain a person what playing FF X is all about and you will never be able to describe the full experience. You ... Read Full Review
