Let me first start off by saying Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game for the computer. I have played threw it (without the strategy guide, which is almost impossible) and I consider myself an expert. With a engrossing story line, amazing graphics, wonderful playablity, and addictive manor, I believe it to be the best all around game I have ever played.

First I will start out with the story line. With so many twists and turns it may get a little too much for you but, I think that adds to the feel of the game. It keeps you guessing the whole time. You can even sometimes choose what type of attitude you will have two other NPCs (Non - player - characters). One draw back is that all the voices are made in text, and with today's technology it would be possible to make a game like this with real voices.

Next would be the graphics. This game was originally for the Sony Playstation and was directly ported from there. But along the way they hired and artist to come in and add even more details to the characters. You can even see their eye brows and facial expressions! One draw back to this port, however, is that all the cinematics are in resolution 640x320 and look kind of pixely.

The handling of the game are kind of complicated if you don't have a gamepad. You have to use the number pad on the right side of your keyboard to put in actions. It is kind of strange at first, but you will begin to see that it does have its advantages.

This game is a sure buy for all you gamers out there! I sugguest going out right now and buying it if you dont have it yet!
