Good Gamecube RPG

FF Crystal Chronicles is an interesting twist in the Final Fantasy series. Hardcore FF fans may dismiss this game after about 10 minutes, but more open gamers will find this quirky adventure quite entertaining. You pick your adventurer from 4 races, each with specific looks. Then, you start on your journey to save your city from an evil force known as miasma. There are many plots going on at once in this game also. The graphics are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. The character detail is insane, and the environments look like a very close copy of reality. The sound is also incredible, the fantasy music enchating. Dungeons are fun, but may become repetitive after a while. And the cystal "sheild" you have to stay in can be annoying. The non-rpg battle system is more like an adventure game and will make it or break it for most. Now for the multiplayer version. I would give it 5.0. Gather some friends, and this game becomes extremely original and fun. The only downside is having to have GBAs to play. Overall, this is a quality game worth your money.
