DESCRIPTION
Dirge of Cerberus is a third-person shooter starring the sullen, enigmatic Vincent Valentine from Square's Final Fantasy VII role-playing game, which debuted on the original PlayStation in 1997. Taking place three years after the PlayStation hit, Dirge of Cerberus focuses on Valentine's vendetta against an underground assault team known as the Deep Ground Soldiers, who have been terrorizing the recovering city of Midgar from its darkest depths. The title refers to Valentine's weapon, a handgun with carvings of the mythological creature Cerberus on its three barrels — one for each of the hell beast's heads. Players will use this firearm and more to shoot down armies of robotic troops while trying to rescue Midgar's imprisoned citizens along the way. Each defeated enemy offers a varying amount of experience points, allowing Valentine to increase in level and become more powerful as the game progresses.
Valentine can perform a number of acrobatic moves, from rolls and crouches to jumps and melee attacks, while battling his enemies. Targeting foes is simplified with an automated lock-on feature, but players are free to execute more precise shots by holding down the shoulder button to access a targeting reticule. Staying true to the Final Fantasy VII legacy, players can acquire potions to restore lost health, new weapons to battle enemies, and material to perform magic-based attacks, one of which allows Valentine to transform into a powerful beast. The game also includes cameos from a number of Final Fantasy VII characters, including Yuffie, Cait Sith, and the indomitable Cid Highwind, and features a cinematic storyline that delves deeper into Vincent Valentine's murky past. After completing the solo campaign, players can continue the action online in team deathmatch, survival, and cooperative modes. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Satisfying to see Vincent's own story in the spotlight rather the spiky blonde dude. It adds to the Advent Children storyline nicely.”

“Vincent is a totally awesome FF Universe character and they really showcase him in this game. The mechanics leave something to be desired, but its a must play for any FFVII fan.”

“I consider Advent Children my least favorite movie ever, yet I find this game strangely charming for some reason. The gameplay is certainly pretty average, and the plot was pretty stupid, (though humorous) but I found the game likable anyway. Maybe because it focuses on some of my fav. characters from VII? I'm still fairly clueless. I'll have to replay it sometime. (owned and completed. Accurate score is 7.00)”

“I liked this game, it required a little polish still, but the story was all there and the amazing cinema we've all come to know as Square-Enix was here as well. I also like the fact that it was a shooter that I didn't mind playing, keyly because I could see my character, although the Cait Sith garbage got old quick.
Recurring bosses from FFVII helped me get the nostalgic feel I love from playing any FF title, and let's face it... Vincent is BadASS! One of my best girls in the world had a kid and named it after Vincent. Just goes to show how iconic this character is! :-)”

“Didn't have a change to play very long, but it looks interesting. I haven't played the other Final Fantasy games before, so I was kind of lost on who the characters were and what was going on.”

“So this game is pretty messy. I'm still playing it because it provides some neat backstory information, but that's quickly being overshadowed by clunky controls and terrible dialog.”

“Since I beat CoD: WaW today, I decide to switch gears and have some action fun on my ps2. I got this game when I picked up SMT: Devil Summoner because it was only 10 bucks. I'm enjoying it so far....”
