Comments 1
The story of Final Fantasy VII is still one of the best in the series. However like the review states, the software is just showing it's age. Unlike a Mario game or other 8 or 16 bit games, the choice to use (now antiquated) 3D here makes the game look and more importantly feel old. I'd really only recommend it for people who haven't played at all, to check this off their list.
