Im a fan of the Final Fantasy series personally, generally a great story and some fantastic RPG gameplay. Final Fantasy 7 is one of the greatest of the series and as Crisis Core is the backstory of FF7 it's a great game to add to the collection.
Gameplay wise Crisis Core is a little repeditive at times and theres not quite as much to it as most of the FF series, it is still a great play though. Even if you have never played FF7 you'll still enjoy the story in Crisis Core.
There are a nice amount of side things to do and bonus stuff to get along with the good old Final Fantasy leveling. Definitley worth a play especially if you have played others in the series or FF7 itself.
