Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

Fair

It offers a unique multiplayer gameplay experience, as well as incredible character designs and music, but its gameplay has a significant flaw that keeps Crystal Chronicles from greatness. Read Review

Square's first game for a Nintendo console since the days of the Super NES takes the lush fantasy world from the Final Fantasy franchise and adds in hack-and-slash-style four-player action.

Up to three friends can join in on the quest, by using Game Boy Advance units connected to the GameCube as controllers. While all the main action takes place on the screen, the GBAs enable the players to access menus, organize their spell spheres, and perform upgrades without slowing down the action.

The initial release of this game included a GBA Cable to allow players instant access to the game.

That analogy aside, Crystal Chronicles is a good game with wonderful aesthetics and fantastic extras, but its core gameplay has some fundamental flaws. Read More »
