DoC did nothing innovative for the action genre at all. Everything you see in that game has been done many times before and to a mucher higher degree of quality. Just because it was a departure for Square, does not mean that they actually made an innovative game. It seems to me this was nothing more than a FF VII cash in.

I was not claiming it a major innovation. But fore SE, it was. If they keep pumping out the same RPG, they will lose fanbase.
Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
Yeah I understand what your saying but everytime that Square tries to do something different, they fail. Remember their try at beat em ups, The Bouncer turned out to be real pretty (same as DoC) but the actual gameplay was really broken. As far as I can tell pretty graphics don't make good games.
They do need to continue to try, nonetheless. Have you read an article called "Action Shooter 2: The Sequal"? That where I fear SE is heading.

The Bouncer was extremely short too. It only took me an hour to beat.:P
What did i think...
It kicked ass!!!
After Advent Children poisoned my mind against the Compilation of FFVII , I decided to rent DoC before buying it, not wanting to give SE any more of my precious money that I absolutely have to. Note to Square: give FF VII a break for a bit. If you really want to crank out some sequels, there's always Chrono Break. Just a thought.
In the end, I liked DoC ok enough. Course, I don’t generally play shooters of this type, they have a tendency to make me dizzy if I play longer than 30 min in any one sitting. The default controls were counter intuitive, but once tweaked to my liking, the game was playable but only just barely. I basically suffered through the game for the sake of the plot (like KH: CoM, actually) Unfortunately, I only just made it WRO headquarters before I had to take it back.
I have to admit, if the exact same game engine had been used in a game that didn’t have the back story and characters of FF VII, I wouldn’t have given it a second glance.
Because nothing beats the sound of a million voices screaming in unison.
What I think of the game? < 6/10 >
The gameplay blew it for me.

Cant say I will. Not a fan of first person shooters and I wasnt a big fan of Vincent. So I'd rather purchase a more interesting game.
It was too short around 9 hours while my friend beat it in 7. That only part I did like, was fighting Omega. In the end, the ending wasn't so much of an ending. Though, I did like punching people
i agree with most people way to short. ya get wrapped into it but then it's over. and the whole ya don't (SPOILER)get to be chaos till the last chapter pissed me off. but i'd rate it 8/10
turk power!!!
i got it today
i have been playing it all day and im at the bit were you go on cids air ship how far have i got to go?
Just until you get to (SPOILER)Deepground's base.
For god sakes its an FF an FF! We all owe square. If it were'nt for them this site wouldn't exist thousands of people would be out of work kingdome hearts wouldnt exist hell Square wouldnt exist without FF. So get of Squares case and go root a camel or something!DoC did nothing innovative for the action genre at all.
