Horror Game Reviews

Final Fantasy VII is one of my all time favorite games. This is the first Final Fantasy title I’ve ever played. With a superb story line and plot twist it had me at the edge of my seat from start to finish.

But, what really amazed me was the game play. It was very unique, unlike anything I’ve ever played. Although it took some getting used to, once you learn it, it becomes second nature. If you still are confused there is a tutorial included. The skill system was superb. Equipping certain magical orbs called materia will give you a variety of abilities: like being able to steal, cast magic or even counter an enemies attack. The more materia you equip is the more it will grow; giving you new abilities. But just leveling up your materia is not what this game is all about. You must travel the world over to get new items.

A part that really captivated me in this game was the soundtrack. The music was perfectly composed and set the mood for the whole game. Not for a second did the music feel annoying or out of place. It was calm, soothing and upbeat at the point where it needed to be. It really helped me grasp the situation and understand the story and characters a lot better.

The graphics were truly amazing. This was the first game I’ve seen to blend your character into a video clip seamlessly. Technically and artistically this game is a masterpiece. Though the graphics may look ugly now, during its time no one had ever witnessed anything more beautiful.

Final Fantasy VII is the highlight of the series and all video games in general. If you’ve never seen or heard of this game I highly recommend it. It has revolutionized games everywhere. When you play it you will know why.
