Video Game Reviews of Final Fantasy VIII

Customer Review: Greatest game Ever. Most HAVE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

-Prologue-
a few months ago my friends and i were discussing, what we thought was the greatest game ever.
everyone was saying this game was the greatest game of all time but since i never really started playing games until ps2 i missed out on this amazing title.
well one day my xbox 360 got the ring of death for the 3rd time so with not much money i purchased a playstation, memorycard, controller etc.... but most importantly this game, just to see on what i missed out on......

-Present-
wow i was deprived as a child for not playing this game sooner.
this game was so much fun and the story was perfect 5 stars
i recommend EVERYone to play this game.
atleast try it.
but it is VERY LONG! ( its not a bad thing )
omg its insane how long this game is. im on hour 30 and i just got to disc 2....

Customer Review: Phenomenal
Summary: 4 Stars

A phenomenal game that is still great 10 years later.

First, the logistics. The price that Amazon offers is competitive and shipping was very quick. The only reason this game got 4/5 stars is that Disc 4 for some reason is not recognized by my PS3. Now this is a known issue with FF8 but some have reported that with the original 60GB PS3 (which I have), this isn't an issue. Oh well.

Back to the game, the story is amazing. Gameplay is great. I know there are plenty of critics of the junction system out there but I feel it's a very innovative system. More than that, it provides incredible flexibility. Just go to any of the numerous FF8 boards which are still active a decade after the game came out and people are coming up with ever-inventive ways to play the game: normally, no junction, no level, power-up style, etc.. etc...

Triple Triad also has to be one of the greatest side games implemented into a RPG. Fun by itself and by linking it up with Card Mod, Square has provided significant incentive to partake in this game.

Extremely happy with my purchase. I fully intend to pick up the PSN version when it comes out as well (2 months and counting.....) so I can finish Disc 4.

Customer Review: FFVIII
Summary: 5 Stars

This game is great. I love the music and the battles. My fav. part about this game is the leveling up. It only takes 1000 exp to gain a level. no more 25,574 exp to get to level 70. The magic in this game is cool too. you draw it from the monsters and can use it off of them as well. The plot is interesting and there's a lot of cool extra stuff as well.
