yeah but you have to give the game mad props for creating the playstation movie game, and the console movue game in general. Plus it was the first game made for millions of dollars and was a huge risk and undertaking and took more than three years to make, plus it put the sales of sony playstation in the u.s. through the roof people who had followed nintendo for years left them because square went to playstation and i was one of them. It made sony a sucess story and costs nintendo millions of dollars in revenue. They were not able to draw the fans back until the release of zelda 64, and the sucess of the gamecube. Besides at the time nintendo had the kiddie status and did'nt release mature games. as good as their games are i've moved on to playstation, playstation 2 and xbox. I can only take so much of the kiddie games constantly being rehashed, how many times can they reuse the same games and just retool the gameplay. Like a million zelda, mario, metroid games with the same story, zero continuity. And they were dumb enough to sell rareware to microsoft which also got perfect dark in the deal for the xbox. You know the software developer behind goldeneye 64 and donkey kong country for the snes. Sure i like zelda ocarina of time, and wind waker, and probalbly will like twilight princess and the new mario coming out for nintendo revelolution. But where was the promised Metroid 64 or mario 64 2 ?, or the cancelled starfox which was first for the snes. The new metroid games for the cube are cool but i still think super metroid for the snes if better. Next to the first playstation, the only other older system i still play games on is the snes. Zelda a link to the past, super metroid, super mario world, and final fantasy III, chrono trigger and the super star wars game trilogy. Although the nintendo 64 is still o.k. for mario 64, ocarina of time, shadows of the empire, rogue squadron and goldeneye, and starfox 64. Oh yeah and the only movie like games before final fantasy VII were flashback and out of this world, both for the computer and snes. The only thing i wish they would do with the final fantasy games is have multiple endings based on the choices you make in the game, similar to kotor, fable or wing commander III and IV. this concept evolved out of the choose your own universe books, they were going to do it with movies to involve the viewer but it never caught on. I peronally always thought it would be cool to have a game where in empire strikes back you can choose to join vader and overthrow the emperor, or in return of the jedi kill both vader and the emperor and rule the galaxy.
