Crisis Core is a very interesting prequel that adds even more to the world and characters of Final Fantasy 7. Zack has quickly grown to become one of my favorite FF7 characters, or even characters in general, thanks to this game. The pacing of the story isn't the best, but there are still some points that really shine despite this. The combat may be simple, but still very fun and satisfying. I do wish the side missions had a bit more variety, as there are so many of them that they get to be rather repetitive. The main story content is fantastic, though.
