    One of the best ps2's early games and until final fantasy 10 and mgs2 where released was the best looking game on the console showing people early on what the ps2 could do.

    The story is pretty [PRDICTABLE,CORNY,CHEESY,SHORT NOT SWEET] and has quite a few cliche characters
    [The tough guy,the smart alec,the damsel in distress]and so on but this isnt a thinking mans game so the audience this game appeals to would not really mind this.
    The is as said completely predictable[Bad guy steels girl good guy beats bad guy and gets the girl] and apart from a couple of character developments is void of anything surprising.
    The gameplay is extremely easy to master but is at the same time fun and deep enouh to last for a couple go throughs with different characters.
    The best way i can tell you if your the kind of person that would respect and enjoy this game for what it is or would be bored and unimpressed by the opening cinematic is to ask yourself this ''Have you ever wanted a completely simple and story derriven version of final fantasy with a realtime battle system over  Final fantasys strategic one with an easy to follow story line'' OR '' Have you ever wanted final fantasy for the wii'' Then this game might be for you

      if you are looking for another squaresoft masterpiece then this game is not right for you. its too short and only has the play time boosted up by constant interruptions of dialogue, although the cut scenes and cinimatics are definitely enjoyable they are put on screen almost every 5 minutes. the games story line will probably take around 1hour to finish and about half that if you skip through the scenes.the general gameplay is repetitive, but you can string some nice combos and becomes quite enj...
