Dirge Of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII Playstation 2 PS2

 Excellent if your a FFVII fan
Dirge of Cerberus, Square Enix's first attempt at a Third Person Shooter. Truth be told: they could have done worse. The beautiful cut scenes, excellent voice acting and overall interesting story make this game worth your while. The cut scenes, however, tend to be rather long at times. Personally, I don't mind long cut scenes, but I can imagine that some people don't like only watching for 5 to 10 minutes on end. The gameplay is rather simplistic and could have been better. It's not as fast paced as Devil May Cry, for example, but compared to the Japanese version it’s a vast improvement. The option to customize the ability and looks of your guns is very fun, however. People who were, or still are, in love with Final Fantasy VII and like the occasional shooter will want to check out this game. People who are looking for a solid shooter experience, however, should look elsewhere.

 IT'S WORTH THE BUY FOR FF7 FAN'S!!!
I am a big FF7 fan,and I still own my original ff7.My only real complaint's are they could've shown the other character's a bit more,and it could've been funner.Other than that You can customize you'r gun's much more than on Resident evil 4,and the boss fight's were great,but where's sephiroth when you need him,and the cut scene's look better than on Advent children to me,they jump out at you more.All in all it isn't a true sequal,but it will do for now!!!

 NOT BAD
NOT A BAD GAME BUT I THINK A LITTLE TOO MUCH WAS PUT INTO THE CUTS. STILL THOUGH IF YOUR A SHOOTER LIKE ME AND A FAN OF FINAL FANTASY ADVENT CHILDREN THEN YOU WILL WANT TO DEFINITELY HAVE THIS ONE IN YOUR COLLECTION. IF YOU CAN'T BUY THEN DEFINITELY RENT IT. IT'S REALLY A PRETTY GOOD GAME. HAVE A NICE DAY FELLOW GAMERS.

 NOT TOO BAD
SINCE THE CUTSCENES I HAVE TO AGREE THAT I EXPECTED A LITTLE MORE HELL OF A GAME. KIND OF DISSAPPOINTED FROM THE WAY THE STORY MOVES IN THE BEGINNING BUT IT PRETTY MUCH TELLS THE STORY AND THE OBJECTIVES OKAY. SINCE I AM A HUGE FF7 AND ADVENT CHILDREN MOVIE FAN I WASN'T LET DOWN AS BAD BECAUSE OF THE FOCUS ON VINCENT VALENTINE AND HIS BACK STORY AND WHAT HIS POWERS ARE. PRETTY COOL. I LIKED THE STORY OKAY BUT THEN AGAIN I WAS ONLY ABLE TO RENT THIS GAME AND NOT FINISH IT. I AM GOING TO BUY THIS GAME BUT WHEN IT'S JUST A LITTLE CHEAPER. PLAYSTATION 3 IS UPON US IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND RIGHT NOW THE SMART THING IS ALWAYS TO RENT PS2 GAMES FIRST AND THEN BUY IF YOU GET HOOKED LATER. IT JUST SAVES A LOT OF HASSLE AND MONEY DOWN THE ROAD BY LOSING OUT ON TRADING IT IN IF YOU ARE DISSAPPOINTED WITH A GAME. DIRGE OF CERBERUS....RECOMMENDED.

 Bit of a dissapointment...
After watching the opening cutscenes I was expecting on hell of a game. Aside from the cutscenes this game really lacks any sort of appeal whatsoever. I finished the first level and haven't picked it up since. The graphics are really lacking for a PS2 title and the gameplay is really boring. It's not worth the money I think you would be way better off renting this one.
