Final Fantasy VIII

The Good
There are lots of original concepts to be found. It gets rid of a lot of RPG cliches such as gathering gold, armors and weapons. Armor is virtually nonexistent, your starting weapon is the standard 1 for your character throughout the whole game. You get paid regualrly so gold is no longer a big reason for killing random enemies. The graphics on the Guardian Forces are impressive the first couple of times you see them, but they get very repetitive.

The Bad
You can't skip the animations on the Guardian Force attacks. The grphics are sub par, they're left in the original playstation resolution which makes them low-res on todays PC's. A lot of the original concepts are poorly implimented.The sounds sound tinny and distant.

The Bottom Line
If you're a Final fantasy fanatic is the only way i can recomend this game. A console port that squaresoft put no effort into. They didn't take advantage of the computers superior performance.
