That's right, folks, after years of waiting, the true, full-fledged prequel to Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core, is about to be yours.
With a US release date of March 25th (that's just a week away!), Crisis Core is practically here. Reviews have begun trickling in, and the game's impressive-for-a-handheld presentation has been, well, impressive. If you've been looking for a reason to become a PSP owner, you may have found one.
So far reviews from a variety of sources have been positive. IGN just released their review, giving the game a score of 8.5 out of 10. The review cites a few frustrations with the gameplay, including repetitive sidqeuests and an imperfect camera, but with "gorgeous cinematics and a deep, often poetic story" how could we possibly resist?
European gamers will have to wait a few more months, until June 27th, to get their hands on Crisis Core.
