as a veteran of the 16-bit snes days, i can recall countless hours spent playing final fantasy iii and thinking that it was the best game ever to grace the snes platform.

Metal Gear Solid

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i bought this game thinking it was going to be your basic james bond like game.
from www.amazon.com
when i first started this game, i was really nervous, thinking all of this sneaking around in the middle of a heavily armed base would be impossible for me to do without getting caught every 2 minutes
from www.amazon.com
i was thinking about getting a ps2, but after getting this game for about 5 bucks i have changed my mind.
from www.amazon.com
this game requiers a lot of skill and strategy and a good way in physical fighting and guns, for this game you need a lot of thinking and time, this game takes at least 10 hours of your time.
from www.amazon.com
the action and the thinking parts of the game are superbly balanced.

Final Fantasy Tactics

$75.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
to be honest i was quite hesitant on even renting this game when it came out thinking that square was using the success of vii (ff vii) to rack in the sales of this less than average game.
from www.amazon.com
however if there are such people out there who have not yet been graced by this fine game and are thinking of picking it up, here is fair warning.
from www.amazon.com
ive gone through the whole game about 3 times and finally figured out whats going on in the "big picture" now your probly thinking "this guy must be an idiot"...
from www.amazon.com
and if you don't like thinking tactically this game is not for you.
from www.amazon.com
in a turn-based battle system, you have different characters (with customizable abilites), and you have to defeat the opposing characters by thinking a few moves ahead and developing a tactic to win.

the bottom line: all in all if your thinking of buying the game, don't hesitate.

it's a great game with hours and hours of side quest play and a lot of hidden things that keep you thinking and running to that players guide.

Final Fantasy VIII

$32.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
overall, i have absolutely nothing to complain about with this game, i think that just because people were thinking it was gonna be just like final fantasy 7 they complain about it's differences.
from www.amazon.com
this game on my ps3, the real reason most negative comments are from ff7 players is mainly because of things like the junctioning system which takes some thinking to get it down the right way.
from www.amazon.com
if you are thinking about this game, buy it.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this game thinking that it was going to be the best game ever.

i do not agree with the thinking of a lot of game designers who think if you just make a game harder, that will make it more enjoyable.i was very disappointed when i got to the "bonus" missions.
from www.amazon.com
not in this one they actually use squad manuvers and practice suppressing fire and cross fire tactics you feel like your up against real thinking soliders instead of walking targets at the gun range.
from www.amazon.com
the game play is more realistic in this second installment remember how the nazis would practically stand still and let you shoot them in the first one not in this one they actually use squad
