Great! Are there any rpg elements or just a shooter? I'm gonna play through regardless just curious. Sorry not tryin to hijack this thread.


I own it, but it is pretty terrible.  I bought it because it had ff7 in the title, but i had to seriously push myself to play through it...

Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, plenty of other shooters, it was a lot more enjoyable of a third person shooter to me.  Didn't really have to push myself to beat it.  Just controlled a lot better and more enjoyable to play through.  Maybe not as good as Resident Evil 4, but it's one of the better third person shooters on the system.  Worse than a lot of shooters on PC and this gen though.  Uncharted, Stranglehold, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Vanquish, etc.

Anyways, to Hurr1cane, yeah it has an RPG system to it.  Whenever completing a mission, depending on your rank you can either get gold or exp.  Do you want to level Vincent up to have more HP, MP, and defense or do you want gold to be able to purchase and upgrade the levels of your weapon parts, materia, and accessories.  As you progress through the game you'll have multiple different interchangeable parts for your gun and you have three slots to customize it, which the idea behind it is that your gun automatically changes to one of three types(kind of like how Barret's hand changes to the gun arm on Advent Children instead of being the gun arm permanently.)  So you can switch parts to make the guns get different range, power, rate of fire, and either machine gun, regular ammo, or rifle ammo.

*edit*

Will probably get a lot of people up in arms over the Max Payne comment in this post.  Decent game, but you might actually like Dirge of Cerberus if you play it without immediately thinking it sucks because of the critic reviews it got long ago because it's a Final Fantasy game and it's not an RPG.  I think this is the first non RPG Final Fantasy game unless you count Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube which was an action RPG.
