Ten years after the original PlayStation's Final Fantasy VII debuted to critical acclaim, Sony's handheld receives an exclusive prequel entitled ''Crisis Core''. The storyline focuses on Zack Fair and his dealings with a young Cloud Strife, an opportunistic Shinra Company, and the troubled Sephiroth. The action is viewed from a third-person perspective as players guide Zack across an assortment of 3D environments while engaging in random battles against multiple enemy types. Combat involves initiating a choice of melee or magic-based attacks as a three-reel slot machine, referred to as a ''Digital Mind Wave'', spins in the top corner of the screen.
