Final Fantasy VII Game Ratings
Graphics

9.9 - PROS: Awesome full motion video, smoothly integrated into gameplay. Summons, spells, and limit breaks excellently rendered for powerful appearence. A wide array of well rendered enemies. Well designed world map.
CONS: characters rather polygonal in overworld and setting environments.

Gameplay

10 - PROS: multitudes of items, many combinations of materia, games within the game, interactive storyline, chocobo racing, hidden items and characters, and much more.
CONS: None

Sound Effects and
Background Music Ambiance

9.5 - PROS: Monumental score, mood setting ambiance, believable sound effects.
CONS: It would be nice if all the characters spoke verbally in the game, but that would probably make the game seven discs instead of three.

Story and Theme

10 - PROS: Immersive gaming experince. Long involving plot and character developments. Interactivity between characters i.e. dating, double crossing, communication, etc.
CONS: None.

Challenge and Difficulty

9.5 - PROS: Mastery of game takes considerably longer than completion of game. Many hidden items, weapons, materia, and limit breaks. Hidden Enemies provide extreme challenge. Snowboard game difficult to master. Characters must enguage in many battles before achiving maximum potential.
CONS: Some enemies easy to defeat.

Total Chaos Factor

10 - PROS: Did anyone say, "Knights of Round, Final Heaven, Omnislash, Bahamut Zero, or Super Nova!" The entire summon and limit break thing kicks some serious ass. Extreme WOW factor, especially impressive on little wimpy creatures like slugs. Doing 100,000 damage on a creature worth about 200 is the ultimate annihilation.
CONS: T'yeah right!

Hot Video Game Babe(s) Factor

10 - PROS: Tifa, (and Aeris of course).
CONS: Tifa's not real, (man that one hurts).


Overall Average Score = 9.84
