Well, today was the day I was planning on reviewing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I figured two weeks would be more than enough time for me to get through the main storyline of the game and be able to offer an opinion on its merits. What I didn’t budget for in my little timeline was the fact that the damn game is on the PSP. I now vividly remember exactly why I stopped playing with my GameBoy all those years ago.
Don’t get me wrong, Crisis Core has a great story (what I’ve seen of it thus far, anyway…), and Kingdom Heart-esque combat, which I greatly enjoy… but staring at that tiny little screen gives me a splitting headache. Every time. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I’m barely halfway through the game, because I can’t play for more than an hour or so at a time without feeling like someone is trying to drive a stake into my skull.
It really aggravates me because I can sit back and play console games for hours on end with no ill effects. I finished the main storyline and a good portion of the sidequests of Final Fantasy XII in a little under two weeks, and clocked in at 87 hours of play time when all was said and done. In Crisis Core, I’m at about the 11 hour mark right now, and not for lack of desire to play.
So I finally broke down and spent more of my hard-earned money on the cable to connect my PSP to my TV. Damn handhelds.
