Product ReviewsFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers (Nintendo Wii, 2009) W/ Manual

Great Game, Great Price

This game got overlooked because it came out so late for the wii and because of it's game controls. However, it is a very fun final fantasy game with interesting characters. I also like that it's an action rpg rather than turn-based because it uses the wii remote in very interesting ways.Read full review...

A fun adventure that gets a bit repetitive and is undermined by questionable controls

While not a RPG like other Final Fantasy titles The Crystal bearers is competent and light adventure romp, having more in common with the zelda series this title is more about exploration and compleating tasks to progress. The gimmick of the this game is the protagonist can use magic to pickup and throw objects, people and enemies. This is throwing mechanic is used cleverly and makes combat have a more puzzle like element, unfortunately this does get repetitive and the game doesn't have enough abilities to vary up the gameplay. The wii controls are also a bit finiky, the IR pointer works well but the waggle controls to evade doesn't work as responsive as if they had just been a button. All ogether its a fun adventure that gets a bit repetitive and is undermined by questionable controls.Read full review...

A Masterpiece

F.F. Crystal Bearers pushes the Wii to it's limit graphically while presenting a story that is engaging and hard to put down. The settings are sweeping and full of amazing detail. The NPC's are funny and fascinating. Very different from most other Final Fantasy game play, FFCB is much more of an action game. As the Crystal Bearer you possess a sort of levitation power controlled by the Wii remote. Once the player gets the hang of it (and it doesn't take too long) this is a fun and challenging power that forces you to think in other ways of how to survive using this power in all sorts of puzzling situations and inn battle. The game immediately starts in such a thrilling way that I was pulled in and couldn't put down the game for quite some time. Shortly after all of the beautiful and Anime quality cut scenes, you find yourself needing to control a quickly descending airship and steer it safely through the most nail biting terrain. I was left saying only "Wow" after making it safely to the city. I love games like that. The cities and other areas are immersive, loaded with treasure and fascinating characters. Some of the cutest beings that I've ever seen in a game. Gameplay takes you deep into a slowly unraveling story that will keep you playing as well. I don't know how FFCB rated upon it's release, and I imagine that FF purists had issues with it, but as a gamer who has not played much of the FF franchise because of the gameplay style, I found this game to be the most accessible FF game that I've encountered. Dirge of the Cerebus was another FF game that took us in a different direction, but Crystal Bearer does so with all of the FF strong points still intact.Read full review...

Awesome game

It does not have as much magic use as the originals, but is very addictive and fun to play. Nintendo wii has done it again by captivating your senses that has great graphics.

Purchase this one... You will not be dissapointed!

I had never played Final Fantasy until a couple of years ago and I am saddened that I had missed out on it until then! I owned a Super Nintendo when I was little but always played the Mario games and never tried these. I highly recommend you play it and own it but I will warn you it's very addicting!Read full review...

two player function sucks!

game itself was great as long as your not looking for a two player game like we were. the story line was cool the gameplay was cool but we got it to play togethor and two people cannot control the bmain charector at the same time they should have just left it one player. very dissatisfied with the two player functionality and i wont fall for it again on any game ff creates in the future. Long Live Sephiroth!Read full review...

Almost a Final Fantasy.....

A pretty nice Final fantasy game. The carchter design and overworld are, as always, awesome, but, the gameplay is..... i dont know, is at least interesting, but, not enough interesting to feel it as fun. In some moment i get irritated about being all the time grabbing things and throwing them to everything, is like, repetitive. Not the best, but, at least has style.Read full review...
