Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals is a game where you have a choice. Your choice depends on wether you want to befriend 3 other people and play that game with them. While Multi-player is by far more fun, it can be a pain in the a** b/c you have to split some of the boss items. Depending on your actions is on who gets to choose the first item...

Regarding the single-player aspect, I think it could be a little better. Regarding having to use the Gameboy Advance as a controller so you can have a map, that doesn't really make sense, but I guess it does help in the fact that you don't have to pause to look at a map, and you could have a friend or someone that cares to watch you play tell you what is on the screen while you are playing the game. Unless you are adapt in multi-tasking and can concentrate on the T.V. and the Gameboy at the same time.

On a lighter note, this game while I did have 6 years into (Speaking games years) I did not finish. I found it boring after that much play time, while I am not 'downing' the game at all. It is not my place to dis-like it b/c it didn't have some of the more features you would expect in a FF game.

I may have to pick this game back up, just so that I can say I have completed it.
