Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
released on Jan 26, 2006
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.

GACKT my beloved...
Following my trend on playing FF7 related stuff after I finished Rebirth, I fired this one up for the first time, one I`ve been longing to play for a while now. It follows, after the success of the original FF7, the idea of expanding the lore and the universe of the game, now with a rather unique, but ultimately fun idea - a shooter game.
This game has a pretty noticeable Devil May Cry-esque to it, and Vincent Valentine, the mysterious vampire like hero from the main game, it`s a perfect pick for this kind of game. It has the visuals and the feels from Advent Children, but the tone is a little more grim and eerie, especially on the scenarios and the whole feel of the stages throughout the game.
Story-wise, the game follows the events at the end of the original FF7 and introduces a new group know as DeepGround, a secret military organization from Shinra that features genetically enhanced soldiers. Vincent learns that their ultimate goal is to call forth Omega and basically turn the planet into a crumbly rock - the story goes fine until almost till the end, when it becomes too much convaluted and unnecessary complex; it`s like they tried to do too much at the same time, and it doesn`t work that well. And also, I wished the original cast, Cloud and the crew, were a bit more important and present along the game, but I can see why they did it like this.
Talking about gameplay, this game functions as a third person shooter with a variety of weapons and materias at your disposal, but Vincent can still use his melee attacks. Although I wanted a few more weapons to be avaliable, I had a lot of fun playing with the guns you can pick from and meddle with the different combinations you can make with them. Even tho it can get a little repetitive sometimes, the levels are short so you don`t really feel bored.
I wonder if they ever gonna poke around this one, after remastering Crisis Core, and introduce it to the new FF7 universe - some of the characters introduced in this game are already present in some parts, especially in episode INTERmission. Honestly, I had a blast playing this, but this has to do with me being a huge fan of the original game, so if you`re not into the lore and all of the story, you probably not gonna like this one.

pretty great and campy arcade shooter for the PS2. you can play it with mouse and keyboard for Elite Gaming Action, too, though honestly the Dualshock controls are just fine.
