If you are crazy about Vincent, then it's worth it.
I paid 39£ when it came out...may seem like a waste of money-I never finished it, but every self respecting fan should have it...I basically agree with Mitsuki's point.

If you can get it for a tenner or so, go for it

I definitely think it's worth it. The story isn't the most gripping in the world but there was enough in it to make me reply it recently. It is quite an interesting story and is good to play for the nostalgia, if nothing else.

Nope.

1. It's more bullshit-ish plot holes for the FFVII compilation.

2. The battle system sucks cow anus.

3. Everything else about it sucks even worse, save maybe the story.

4. It's incredibly short.

So really, unless you just want to see Vincent tripping on acid and/or further complete your collection, it's really the only reason to buy it. The FMVs aren't even that great.

It eventually gets disgusting to look at Vincent being what could be known as 'the spikenator' when he's clearly not portrayed that way in the game's FMVs. It's pathetic, and it makes the game look really shit. God forbid SE spend more time making a better mesh for Vincent, even though they didn't make any other character look like something from shitty anime. D :

So I say no, it's not worth your money. Just rent it, beat it, send it back. Unless, as earlier stated, it's just to further complete your collection.

but Zack ...there is no price too great to pay to see the back of Vincent's head for 14 gameplay hours.
xD

It's a fast paced shooter that has a good storyline and is a hell of a good game.

Yeah, they made up lots of "new" stuff for the sake of having a bigger story.

I think the game is really worth it. If you like the FFVII world, it is a must. The gameplay can be criticized, but this is really the only things to criticize, and still, I enjoyed it. The story is great and it really add a lot to FFVII story.

I thought the game was good, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary to go and buy it. The storyline was interesting, but the gameplay wasn't all that great. I suggest going and watching it on youtube. That way, you can see what the game is like before wasting your money on a game you may or may not like.
