Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just Amazing
Review: Some people said that Final Fantasy VII is the ultimate RPG game ever, but we are learning, that when time flows and technology improves, so are the games. The game combine hi-res graphics with low-res in an amazing way, and a story that is very compelling! This is a game for everyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good for the Playstation, bad for the PC
Review: The Playstation has a 33mhz proccersor, 2 megs of ram, no hard drive space, and runs a game that requires a pentiumII 266mhz. I just can't update my pc, the game itself is good, but when it plays like it was in slow motion on my machine, then you shouldn't buy it for the pc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is as good as it gets.
Review: The simple fact of the matter is that RPGs don't come better than Final Fantasy VIII. The characters are interesting, the plot is engaging, the battles tough but exciting. I've played every final fantasy from VII to X2, and this is by far the best.

Pros:
Epic storyplot
Incredible battle system
Excellent animation for a PS1 game
Fantastic Soundtrack
Extremely long gameplay

Cons:
Unusual magic system
Some truly difficult missions

Just the lack of important negatives and wealth of positives, along with a low price tag, should convince any fan of turn based RPGs to buy this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PC Edition Final Fantasy VIII
Review: Everything about this game is wonderful except one tiny detail. The storyline is great, the graphics excellent. The sound, music, even the minigame is wonderful. The only thing that this game lacks is gameplay.

This is the first Final Fantasy game I have ever seen that actually DISCOURAGES exploring the world around you. Every second you pause to explore the scenery instead of moving forward to the next plot element you've had dictated to you is one more second towards losing rank in SeeD and the money that comes with it. Every monster that you actually try and fight just makes all the enemies which you fight after it stronger, to the point where some online guides recommend running away from every single battle in order to make the bosses easier. Thinking perhaps that exploring could get you better equipment for your character? Not very often here.

In short, the best way to make your characters stronger is to sit there and use the "Draw" command over and over again to increase your junctioned magic. How positively thrilling. I'd give up the graphics, sound, even a bit of the storyline if only the battle and gameplay system in this game were different.
