Just try to put it down

User Rating: 9.5 | Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou PSP
By moronese | Review Date:
A must-own for fans of turn-based strategy games. The best in the genre... even for those of us who think chocobo's are a little silly.

My only complaint - and I should qualify this by saying that I've never been a big cut-scene fan... just let me fight and upgrade and fight again, please - is that the in-game graphic cut-scenes are annoying. I find myself clicking through them to get to the next fight. I do, however, realize that the FF franchise is driven by the story telling, so I do get it... this is my 3rd FFT game (PS, GBA, PSP), so if it bothered me that much, I guess I wouldn't keep going back for more. Having said that, the sketch-style anime cinematic cut-scenes are beautiful and a credit to the artists at Square-Enix and the PSP hardware.

This game is highly addictive and fun... On more than one occasion, I found myself yelling "GET SOME!!" as my black/white mage zapped 3 formidable baddies in one shot with a dazzling "Thundaja" spell... Good times.

    A remake that still holds up to today's standards

    With the games from the PSX era, this game is one of the underrated and great games of that era. While missing out on buying this game once, I made sure that I won't miss it again when remade for the PSP. Story: The ... Read Full Review
