Metal Gear Solid

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.shopping.com
the bottom line: it's a must rent for a weekend, but it's too short and has too little replay value for me to give it top honor.
from www.amazon.com
then, there's the length of the game--it's extremely short.
from www.amazon.com
it's a little on the short side (5 hours total if you watch all the cinematics and take your time) and the difficulty takes dramatic leaps and falls throughout the game, making adaptation difficult.
from www.amazon.com
i've played the game like 8 times, and i loved it every minute.the bad point is the backtracking, but it is really short and is always for a reason.
from www.amazon.com
this is also a short game - it took me about 12 hours, and i'm no gaming expert.

Final Fantasy Tactics

$75.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the gameplay is very much tactical, and it is very much mentally engaging.in short, if you like this game, you will end up loving it, because it never is tiresome.
from www.amazon.com
this game can be over 200 hours long so dont think it's short because it's one disk.
from www.amazon.com
in conclusion, this is a fine game and i would recommend it to anyone without a short attention span.
from www.amazon.com
i first got this game at on sale, shortly after it came out.
from www.amazon.com
i imagine there are lots of people out there with short attention spans who would get bored with final fantasy tactics, so it can't have universal appeal, but anybody with a stitch of patience will

Final Fantasy IX

from www.amazon.com
it looks childish in the start due to the fact the characters look short and act a little immature, but it is a great game recommended to everyone.
from www.amazon.com
this game may be short but they make it count with its endless change in the evil person (who ends up being ..., oops almost told you its a guy called kuja)you should get this.

the only really bad thing about this game is that it is very short.

Final Fantasy VIII

from www.amazon.com
the only problem is that this game is too short, it took me about 7 hours to get through this whole game, if you want to get a longer game, get ff7 instead.
from www.amazon.com
however, dispite it's short comings it still is a good game and more casual gamer friendly since extensive training isn't reqiured to defeat hard bosses.
from www.amazon.com
this is where if i feel ff7 kind of feel short in that game it felt more or less like the characters were merely pawns being moved around a board to merely be a participate in the story rather than

the game started out slow it seemed, and the battle system really was annoying.but after awhile (a short while), the game really grows on you.

the name of it is the tile game, and if you are short on money all you have to do is beat the records they have on their little hall of fame thingy and you can get a lot of money in return for
from www.amazon.com
overall: a pretty short game, (about 30 hours) and a good remake of the roots of final fantasy.
from www.amazon.com
plus these games are way too short, because in those days, games didn't have a lot of juice (memory) to put in a long game so you can probably beat the game in 10 hours or more.
from www.amazon.com
it's simple, shorter songs, but the talent of nobuo uematsu is apparent in each song.
from www.amazon.com
the downside of ths is that the world is a bit smaller, and the story a bit shorter - but not in any harmful sense.

i could ramble on and on about this game but i am going to make it short.
from www.amazon.com
it is clear that they had to cut the second half short for some reason (whether it be budget, time or space constraints or some other reason); however, they left in some parts in the early game that,

the game takes 70+ hours to beat anyway and reviving gears could have easily shortened the game by 5 hours.

from www.amazon.com
the only bad thing i could say about this game is that it's relatively short for a standard rpg, but it is still worth the experience even if it was but a short one.
from www.amazon.com
i could write down a hundredthousand superlatives (oh wait actually a thousand, that's my max again) to describe this game but i'll keep it short.
from www.amazon.com
the game as a whole falls short of it's snes brother, but is still worth a play.
from www.amazon.com
neither overly-short nor overly-long (it can be completed in the 50-hour range without rushing), it's packed with gobs of extras to keep the interest of players who want more, since you can replay

despite these shortcomings, it's still the complete game, which is all that matters.
from www.amazon.com
the one point this game falls short of its snes relative is loading time.
from www.amazon.com
it is better than materia, and the summon spells are nice and short as opposed to the ones in vii and viii.
from www.amazon.com
tunes and a few of my favorites were on here.what does bog this release down are some truly horrible loading times that really could have been shortened since their length surpasses some newer games.
from www.amazon.com
and maybe my memory is short, but they are the same games as they were the first time around.
