The whole Final Fantasy series is known for great story lines and plot twists, but Final Fantasy 7 takes the cake. The game takes place on a planet called Gaia, where the entire planet, and all life upon it thrives on this stuff called Maku, also known as Life Stream. But when the evil Shinra corporation learns how to harness the Life Stream and use it to create energy and weapons, a whole string of unfortunate events unfold. First, dangerous monsters are created from creatures that mutated due to their dangerous expiraments and Maku reactors. Then, they attempt to create solders that are mutated by the Maku, and with the cells of Jenova, an alien that landed on the planet via meteor thousands of years ago, they created Sepheroth, the main boss of the game.

GAME PLAY: 10/10
With the exception of Final Fantasy X, FFVII has the best RPG battle system I've ever played. The Materia system is also a lot of fun to change around and customize, and you also have entire arsenal to choose from for each of your 8 different characters.

GRAPHICS: 10/10
Now, there tends to be a lot of confusion when people think that the graphics of this game are rather choppy and undetailed, but keep in mind that this game was created in 1997! Comparing this game's graphics to the graphics of a game such as FFX or Elder Scrolls Oblivion is completely unfair because those games were made in the TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY! But, by comparing this game's graphics to other games that were made in it's time period, you will arrive at a conclusion that is nothing less that perfection.

SOUND: 10/10
With no exceptions, Final Fantasy 7 has the best songs of any twentieth-century game I've ever played! One-Winged Angel is still my favorite video game song of all time, and Aerith's theme and the Midgar theme are in my top ten list. Also, I'd like to mention that the music for this game comes in at the perfect time. It is sad and slow when Aerith dies, fast and hectic when Diamond Weapon attacks Midgar, loud and scary when you fight Sepheroth, and oriental-sounding when you visit the home of Yuffie. Parfait!

OVERALL: 10/10
I really can not think of any major flaws in the making of this game (if any). The music is perfect, the graphics are good even by TODAY'S standards, the game play is revolutionary, and the characters and storyline are very touching. The Characters of Cloud, Vincent, and Sepheroth are, in my opinion, perfect examples of what kids of the age-group that usually play this game want to be. Silent, mature, POWERFULL, and most of all: mysterious. The storyline is also very touching also. In fact, believe it or not, I've actually heard of people who shed tears over the scene in which Aerith dies. Now, I'm not an emotional person myself, and I've never cried over a movie, book, or video game, but even I can see the power in that! Trust me, playing this game is NOT something that you will regret!

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is THE GREATEST video game that I've ever played (and I've played quite a few video games in my time). Now, before I begin, I'm going to make one thing perfectly clear: I am reviewing this game in respect to games in 1998. I am absolutely sick and tired of people bragging about how "Elder Scrolls" or "Final Fantasy X" is SO much better than Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time because of their "superior graphics" and "superior game play system" and ect. THIS GAME WAS MADE IN 1998. AND FOR A GAME MADE IN 1998, IT IS REVOLUTIONARY.

GAMEPLAY: 10/10
Even including the modern day games that I've played, this game has the best gameplay that I've ever experienced. I honestly that this game stands among other Nintendo 64 greats that completely changed the way that game were played and looked at. Beyond that, there's really not much to say.

GRAPHICS: 10/10
Now, for a video game made in 1998, this game had some stunning graphics (they completely blew me away when I was like seven, lol). Apart from Final Fantasy VII, this game had, in my opinion, the best graphics of the twentieth century. Yup.

SOUND: 10/10
Once again, best soundtrack I've ever heard in a video game. All of the ocarina songs, from Zelda's Lullaby to the Song of Storms are very catchy and will play over and over again in your head ALL DAY.

OVERALL: 10/10
Well, (10+10+10)/3=10, so I guess that makes Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time a PERFECT game, lol. BTW, don't just think that I'm just some push-over that gives every single descent game I play a 10/10 (I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT!). There are only 3 games in the world that I would EVER give a perfect 10, and that's Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy 7, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Period. Yup.
