Gaming Age: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fate Review

Gaming Age writes: "The original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles appeared some years ago on the GameCube and it was a mild success. It was a particularly fun game if you had the equipment needed to experience the multiplayer mode (in addition to the GameCube and the game each player required a GBA plus a link cable). The game sported nice visuals and one of the better soundtracks heard on the system, but its high cost of entry coupled with some gameplay flaws held the game back from critical acclaim. Luckily, the DS is perfectly suited for a game like this and Square Enix has taken another worthy stab at creating an action/RPG that's just as fun playing single player as it is with friends.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fate (FFCC: RoF) features a robust single player experience and an equally capable and fun multiplayer mode for those who have friends with the game. Unfortunately each player must have a copy of the game, and even worse there is no Wi-Fi play, just trading of items. While it's certainly not a deal breaker, the lack of online play is disappointing and would have definitely been a welcome feature."

I enjoyed the original though it was very hard to get four people over with the GBAs and everything.

Top 10: Worst Final Fantasy Games

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The Final Fantasy series is one of gaming’s most revered franchises with many of its games finding themselves near the top of ‘best games of all time’ lists and simply uttering the words ‘Final Fantasy’ usually evokes images of epic quests and world class polish. But not all of the games to bear the name have been worthy of praise. Some, in fact are terrible, unplayable, ugly and obnoxious games that make you wonder how Square Enix ever approved them. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and counting down the Top 10 Worst Final Fantasy Games."

Addition of FFXIII Lightning Returns and Crystal Bearers make your list redundant.

Though I appreciate the lack of FFX-2.

And I agree with the rest.

DedicatedDark2908d ago

Wait on further thought, the inclusion FFVIII would be nice. Terrible writing, terrible story, terrible gameplay and terrible translation. And therefore a terrible game.

Any Final Fantasy made my SquareEnix. Quick and easy.

SinkingSage2908d ago (Edited 2908d ago )

Since when is After Years or Lightning Returns bad?
This article is garbage, the absolute worst FF, Final Fantasy XIII is nowhere to be seen.

Also, why include a game that doesn't even exist anymore? FFXIV 1.0 is long gone...

Lightning avatar and mad about Lightning Returns being on the list!? https://www.youtube.com/wat...

SinkingSage2906d ago

Heh, yeah, how is LR on the list but not XIII? XIII is pretty bad.

Multitap | The impractical world of 4-player portables

Graham Russell: "Generally, when you’re looking to play a game with friends, it’s much easier to do it on a home console. With portables, each player usually needs a system, and most need a copy of the game (and maybe some funky cables, if you go back enough). Generally, people haven’t bothered to take advantage of the technology. Of course, if you’re a crazy person like me, that’s more of an incentive than a barrier."
