Summary

Almost the greatest in comparison to PS1.

The Good

Still a great game, no matter what. This version is for the computer, so things are less pixelated and a little extra customization. Everything about this game is supreme. The story line is just so deep and enthralling. It pulls you in and doesn't let you go. You'll fall in love with some characters, hate some others, and have your heart broken a couple of times. This game is purely, purely the best. One thing that really, really kills it though...

The Bad

The sounds/music. Midi is just crappy compared to the real instrumental music you get on the PS1. The sounds stink, and unless you get a gamepad, it's a little difficult at times to control. The entire game is good, but the inconvenience of finding actual FFVII for the PS1's music and importing it yourself, and possibly high-resolution characters can be rather annoying at first, but definitely worth it. You also need a Windows XP patch if using it, but that's an easy find.

The Bottom Line

Greatest game ever still, but if you have a choice between the PS1 and PC version, go PS. It's way better than nothing, though. Buy it, now. You wont find the PC version in stores, but online is a definite. Get the PS1 version if possible, if not, GET IT, no matter what.
