SAVE $0.03 - Dissidia Final Fantasy $29.96

Multiple Dimension Calamity has never been so much fun. Having spent a good part of my teen years with the Final Fantasy franchise, I was worried that throwing this kind of party together might not be such a hot thing to do. So I waited for the price to drop to the "just try me" price, and was very satisfied. I would highly recommend the "install" function which will increase your play time, and avoid the 10-30 seconds you might have to wait between arena loads. (This works best if you have a high speed pro-duo stick intended for Video Cameras) But also note that the time it takes to "install" data will approach 45 minuets. [Dissidia Final Fantasy UMD is still required to play the game.] As for the game it's self, there is a great number of topics to get into. For starters, I will talk briefly about the differences from the demo version and the retail. Having played the demo more than a few times, I was happy to find the slight strategy element of the "board game" setup. In the demo you were just able to play area mode, but the main game takes place inside the stories of each of the different hero's. (Be warned that each hero's story has a varying level of difficulty, you might not be able to just jump into your favorite character's story and expect to live.) Only the hero's stories are available from the beginning, you must play the game to earn "PP" to unlock a number of extras. This was kind of a bummer, but it gave me a reason to stick with the game long enough to really get to enjoy the full scale of things it had to offer. Equipment and summons are kind of a let down, but it's rare for such things to work perfectly in a fighting game. So I don't want anyone to come to this expecting "this will be the bomb" because it really is a fanboy game. I don't think this game is for everyone, but IT IS for anyone who has been enchanted by the magic of the Final Fantasy series. Graphics: 9 / 10 (Close to the best seen on the PSP) Sound/Music: 10 /10 (Buying the full sound track has crossed my mind more than once.) Content: 9 /10 (There is a lot to do in this game, but grinding is still a small issue) Writing/story: 8 / 10 (You have to work at the game to put the full story together) Final note: Recommended Rating: 5 (Mark D.

Great game, a tad repetitive. (My son typed this) This game was a lot of fun! I got it for christmas and it's so much fun to create and play battles with any final fantasy character! Who'd of ever thought i'd see Squall and Cloud fight! This game is a great buy and I'm sure you'd enjoy hours of fun with it. Pros: Fun Coustomizable Plenty of gameplay Cons: The story is a little repetitive, but its still a great one. Rating: 4 (M. Buehlmann, 2010-01-30) Product reviewed: Dissidia Final Fantasy

fantastic game I purchased this game from Amazon on 12/22, and I got it on 12/24! The shipment is super fast, and I didn't pay extra money for that. The game is fantastic, I love it! Rating: 5 (Holly Lee, 2010-01-21) Product reviewed: Dissidia Final Fantasy

Great Gameplay, Simple Plot I've played this game a good bit since I received it as a Christmas present. I love the gameplay, it's very accessible. I love the characters they chose (for the most part). I love the nostalgia I get from seeing some old friends (Cloud, Terra, Firrion, Cecil). It's a fun game. I bought my PSP specifically to play it, and I don't regret that decision. Problems? Early model PSP owners will have to change the settings a little bid to accommodate hardware differences. Also, the plot is a very overdone GOOD GUYS vs. BAD GUYS one, and I think most of the games these characters came from weren't that simple. About 2/10ths of the characters have to deal with family issues over the course of the game, which can get very tedious. Most importantly, I think I would have liked to see some of the supporting character NPCs that they use as menu Q and A guides in a cutscene. Also, there is absolutely no explanation as to what these characters think happened to their worlds or how they think they arrived at their location. I kind of wonder if this game might have started as a potential Kingdom Hearts title that they decided would be better kept within the Final Fantasies.

Different! Very different from other FF games but very fun and addictive. Would recommend to all FF gamers (above age 8). Rating: 4 (Daniel LaBelle, 2010-01-10) Product reviewed: Dissidia Final Fantasy
