THE BAD:
-In the English Version the voice-overs are noticeable, when the characters finish speaking their mouths keep moving for some time after.

SUMMARY:
Graphics
9/10
The graphics during regular gameplay are great, probably the best in all of gaming at it's release. However, you can see some pixelated edges and sometimes characters faces look somewhat flat. However, the CGI scenes are absolutely amazing. The only reason you can tell it's not real is by the ridiculous clothes Tidus is wearing.

Storyline
10/10
One of, if not the greatest storyline in all of Final Fantasy. You will get sucked into the story and the love story between Tidus and Yuna. The game is filled with twists that will drop your jaw and force you to keep playing to find out more! The addition of giving the characters their own voices allows emotion to be shown in a whole new way. This game also has the most gripping and dramatic ending of any game to date.

Battle System
9/10
I loved the new battle system in X. They may have removed a few spells that can be found in previous games in the series, but they didn't leave out many. The only flaw that kept me from giving this a perfect score is the fact that they didn't include the ATB. It is purely turn-based.

Summons
10/10
FFX offers several summons, however not as many as in previous titles. In FFX, when you summon an aeon you then control that aeon until the aeon is either knocked out, you dismiss the aeon, or you win the battle. I really enjoyed the new summon system because it allowed you to actually see more abilities that your summons had, instead of the normal one attack wonders in past Final Fantasy Games.

Replayability
10/10
FFX could possibly have the most potential options for replayability. The sphere grid system of leveling up allows for excellent "level 1" challenges because you can choose whether or not you are going to increase your stats, there is no experience counter that causes you to level up. These are called "No Sphere-Grid" Challenges or NSG for short. There is also a wonderful amount of "solo" character challenges that can be done. However, if you aren't in to all of that, you will simply want to replay this game just to relive the story. I know I have replayed it purely for storyline several times myself.

Additional Content
10/10
This game offers a vast assortment of mini-games and side quests. Most notably, blitzball. An entire sport probably worthy of it's own videogame all together. This exciting game is an underwater game similar to handball. However, it's more of a love/hate kind of mini-game. Also, each character has their own "celestial" weapon that you can obtain through side quests and mini-games. However, some of these games are rather tedious and can be frustrating at times. It also offers a series of "super bosses" commonly found in other FF games. There is an entire monster arena in all versions of the game leading up to a monstrous clash with Nemesis, a weapon with 10,000,000 hp! That's right, no jokes here. Also, if you come into the PAL/International version of the game you can undertake an entire side quests where you must defeat all the dark aeons for a showdown with Penance. This guy has 12,000,000 hp and is even more difficult to defeat! Any completist or perfection gamer will love fighting these super-bosses.

This is a MUST BUY game for any gamer, especially someone who follows the Final Fantasy series. You won't regret buying this game, and will cherish it forever.
