An excellent remake, prequel, and game in its own right—Crisis Core has it all. Check out our review:
Crisis Core is not quite as polished as Remake, though. Some of the animation is a little too simplistic or repetitive when viewed in HD—a flapping puppetlike mouth as a no-name NPC speaks, Zack performing thesame hand gesture yet again—and the conspicuously compact areas betray the game's portable roots.
There are unfortunately some hard limits on how far PC gamers can push these graphics, as the settings available are on the basic side. There are some standard window/resolution/v-sync/FPS options to choose from, with straightforward low/medium/high for shadows, textures, and AA to go with them. But the camera and keybind settings are almost comically detailed, allowing users to adjust everything from basic controls to the camera's behaviour when it encounters an inclined surface.
Crisis Core's old combat system has been almost entirely rebuilt, and definitely for the better. Revamped core commands—attack, dodge, and guard—and an intelligent lock-on system give Zack the fluidity of an action hero, while a range of subtle details add layers of strategic nuance.
Even magic is more than just sparkly damage here. Icicles drop in from above and have a narrow area of effect, making them hard to use against a mobile target. Powerful fireballs are a multi-hit spread. Gravity orbs take an age to connect with an enemy, but can decimate their health bars if they do. Every spell has some unique quirk that needs to be considered, which stops spellcasting being a case of spamming the most numerically effective option over and over again.
Running in one corner of the screen while all this is going on is the DMW , Crisis Core's casino-style slot system. These unpredictable bonuses give battles a slightly chaotic air: Zack can briefly become a dragon-summoning spellcaster or an invincible warrior, encouraging me to switch up my battle tactics to make the best use of whatever is currently active.
