Dirge Of Cerberus delves into the mysterious past of Vincent Valentine, with plenty of explosions and great action this is a game you don't want to miss out on.

Dirge of Cerberus is one of Square Enix's unique creations, you play as Vincent Valentine, the enigmatic character from Final Fantasy VII. In Dirge of Cerberus you find out Vincent's mysterious past as well as explore the unique landscapes that the world has to offer. Dirge of Cerberus scraps the traditional idea of turn-based fighting, instead it's based in Real-time now. Another unique addition is the ability to customize Vincent's guns. He is equipped with a shotgun, a pistol, and a rifle and each one can be customized to have better damage, improved accuracy, and less recoil.

Multiplayer Mode

With the release of Dirge of Cerberus in Japan, a multiplayer mode was available through Square Enix's PlayOnline service. The Hard Disk Drive attachment for the PlayStation 2 was necessary for the online mode. For 800 yen a month, players could take their own character and progress through online modes such as a Team Deathmatch, Team Base Storm, Team Capsule Run, Team Survival Mode, and special single player timed survival mode.

Also, several special missions were added through the online component. These were added episodically through version update patches every 4-6 weeks, and told an additional story about the DeepGround group. These events took place during the timeline of the original Final Fantasy VII.

Unfortunately, the price Square Enix was asking for to allow players to play an online shooter put the game in a bind, as most other PlayStation 2 shooters that had online play did so for free. This showed in the very low subscriber base the game had during it's time in service.

After only 7 months, on September 29, 2006, the multiplayer mode for Dirge of Cerberus in Japan was discontinued.

The online mode for the game was removed in the North American and European markets due the lack of HDD support, and the overall negative reaction the PlayOnline service had received after the release of Final Fantasy XI. The additional missions were added as bonus missions in the "Extra missions" mode for the two regions.
