    One of gaming's greatest masterpieces, remade ans remastered with an unbelievable and well deserved amount of love. Well worth being in every gamer's physical collection.

    I would give this a 9 but I'm giving it a 10 due to anyone ignorant enough to give it a negative rating. This is an amazing remaster. I never player the original but this is one of my favorite FF games now.

    I love this game. I also love Genesis. I hope to see him in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

    A faithful remake to the OG. 60 FPS and combat QOL changes make this better than the PSP version!

    There was so much pleasure and activity for a game on the PSP title! Excellent improvements have been made to the aesthetics, fighting, and quality of life. Grab this gem and enjoy it if you love Final Fantasy 7 and want to understand more about Zack and Cloud.

    This Game was already the best PSP Game of all Time. Here on Console it is even better. That is how you do a Remaster. Not to forget that amazing Story.

    One of the best PSP remasters I've ever played; it's obvious from the other reviews that they are unaware of this fact.

    Because I missed out on Crisis Core for the PSP, I am so thankful that Square brought this game to the PS5! Crisis Core is an amazing prequel to Final Fantasy 7, my favorite video game of all time. Crisis Core focuses on Zack and has a beautiful and tragic story. I loved being able to see everything from Zack’s perspective especially when interacting with Cloud Aerith and Sephiroh.

Crisis Core focuses on Zack and has a beautiful and tragic story. I loved being able to see everything from Zack’s perspective especially when interacting with Cloud Aerith and Sephiroh. My favorite chapter was definitely the one where you go to Nibelhiem because of how important those events were to Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth. I liked how much Crisis Core Reunion looked and played like FF7 Remake. Reunion definitely felt more like a remake than a remaster.… Expand

    Well made remaster, as expected angry Callisto Protocol fanboys and possibly some bitter Elden Ring fanboys are downvoting this great game, so just ignore them. Hype for FF7Part2!

    Although the game has been well-remastered, it is still a 2007 PlayStation Portable game, so bear that in mind. Due to the fact that they haven't really updated that, dialogue is what it is. You get that with a Remaster; some of it still functions, some of it's a touch old. However, what makes this one special is that it features all of the voice actors from the FF7 Remake.

    Despite being a superb remaster, especially for the PC, the game is still a 2007 PSP title. But that's what a Remaster gives you. But what's cool about this one is that it features all of the voice actors from the FF7 Remake. If you enjoy the FF7 Remake, I would definitely recommend it.

    The best PSP game of all time, as of right now, was this one. It works even better on the console. In this manner, a Remaster is performed. Keeping in mind that wonderful Story

    A neat remaster that sometimes clashes with its PSP origins. More often than not, it comes out on top, but it feels like it could have broken more limits. [Issue#23, p.74]

    As a prequel to one of gaming’s most beloved classics, Crisis Core did a great job of enriching the original game’s world as an action RPG on the PSP. This remaster not only enhances the visuals but also improves on many of the original’s shortcomings. While there still are some inconveniences, altogether Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is an exhilarating experience from start to finish.

    A beautiful looking remaster which doesn’t manage to significantly upgrade its source material in aspects other than graphics. Only faithful Final Fantasy VII fans who didn’t get to play it on the PSP will leave truly satisfied.
