Yeah, I've borrowed DoC off a friend. I have to try it you know, being a Final Fantasy fan.

The FMV's are amazing - man, they looks so sexy - Vincent looks so sexy <3 (I don't even LIKE Vincent ). In game graphics..could do with a little work. The NPC's look a bit poopy xD

Reeve is awesome - great VA, really fits his characters.

The characters in general do make "lol" but in a bad way - some of the acting is really cheesy

The worst thing? The CAMERA ANGLES! They are incredibly annoying, and are making me a bit peed off - using potions constantly doesn't help, as sometimes, you can be ganged up on and slaughtered on the spot if you dont fight back a.s.a.p

yeah i guess, thats where limit breaks come in handy, they fully restore your hp, but use high potions then or close range attacks, this game is pretty easy

It's not a bad game but it's not good either although it is addictive until you complete it a couple of times which doesn't take long, but i agree that the graphics could have done with a bit more work the FMVs are spot on though the most annoying thing is Cait Sith's Scottish accent what's that all about?

You should check up the legend of Cait Sith on wikipedia, he has scottish origins I think.

This is the next game I'm getting once I finish FFXII. I just have to try it out too, since it's Final Fantasy and all. I'll probably let my brother play it though since I'm not an action-type player. I'll just watch and help him with it or something.

In all honesty the game isn't that hard I think you would enjoy it much more if you played through it yourself, you can't fully appreciate the game if you watch somebody else play it.

Well I'm near the end I think. I managed to get into DeepGround, and I think I've got over 9hrs.

I have one G report lol

Got some other reports as well.

I've killed Rosso, and Azul - Azul FTW = he transformed into a Behemoth - shame he was easy to beat.

Rosso - UGH, toughie. Did NOT like her. You couldn't even physically attack her.

Cid's voice sucks. xD

DoC hasn't messed with the original storyline, it's just expanding it. I really enjoyed most of it all.

It can be challenging trying to save WRO members, and alas, I haven't always been successful in doing so.

Reeve and Azul are still my favourite characters, and I LOVE the DeepGround area. Amazingly beautiful.

Soundtrack? Rubbish. XD

Only bad things about the game..? Some of the content does seem a bit random/fillerish/cheesyish, and the music.

I <3 the FMV's. Amazing stuff.

Mark so far? 8/10

Just finished the game tonight my self.

I admit that if I wasn't a FFVII fan I wouldn't have bought it but the chance of seeing my fav ever computer game characters was something I couldn't resist.

And I loved it, every minute of it, I thought the FMV was incredible, the story, a little hard to follow but hey, I'll start again 2moro!

I knew not to expect too much from previews but I found that the negative comments were no where near as bat as I expected. I've played games with much worse camera options (the getaway anyone?).

Loved the voice acting, Vincent, Yuffie and Cloud were perfect IMO.

Cait Sith, you know, I think the Scotish accent worked although I never imagined that during FFVII.

Cid is Southern States US, even in the dialogue from FFVII you can tell that!!

Loved the Reeve character. Felt like he was always one of the heroes of FFVII.

So as a 3P shooter, not the best game in the world, for a FFVII fan, unmissable.

Oh, and I liked Shelke too.
