Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Each instalment of the Final Fantasy series has featured strong storytelling, characterisation, strategic combat, fun mini-games and hours upon hours of captivating gameplay, and the 10th title in the series is no exception. This is the first time Final Fantasy has appeared on the PlayStation 2, and it takes full advantage of the console's increased technical capabilities.
The story this time concerns Tidus, a blond-haired star of a sport called Blitzball. While he is playing in a match, Tidus' city is attacked by an evil force called Sin, and everything is destroyed save Tidus and his guardian Auran. The adventure begins as they are somehow transported to another world. From here on, it's standard Final Fantasy gameplay: fight battles, manage experience points, learn new powers and recruit a motley crew of non-playing characters to join your quest.
The graphics, however, take things to a new level. They are amazing not only for their realism, but also for their imaginative art and design. The world these heroes inhabit is breathtakingly beautiful, flowing and full of inventive surprises. You haven't lived until you've surfed cables high in the air, or ridden a graceful airship through the clouds. There are stunning effects on display when you use magic in combat, summoning gigantic monsters, fire-columns and more to devastate your foes.
One new element is voice acting. The innovation yields predictably mixed results: it's wonderful to have spoken dialogue rather than subtitles, but as with most games translated from Japanese, the acting is mediocre and sometimes unintentionally hilarious. Still, the game's new graphics engine and solid gameplay are sure to please fans of the series waiting to see what Square has in store for them. While Final Fantasy X doesn't offer much innovation, it also doesn't disappoint. And fortunately, with Final Fantasy XI already in development, the title is still a misnomer. --Andrew S Bub
Product Description
Final Fantasy X immerses the player into the world of Spira, a mythical land where technology has been shunned in favour of the inhabitants' main obsessions, the Yevon faith and Blitzball (an underwater fusion of water polo and martial arts).

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Final Fantasy X Platinum (PS2) (Video Game)
I bought this for Christmas this year and, honestly, I wasn't anticipating much (the only reason I bought it was due to all of its amazing reviews).
But...wow...this game (in my opinion) the greatest game to ever be inserted into my PS2. The graphics on the cutscenes are amazing, although the minor characters in the game do still look a little pathetic compared to today's standards. The storyline is what has made me love this game. That and Auron (play the game to find out who that is, but to me he's one the two greatest characters in gaming history). It twists, confuses, and mostly grips you so you keep battling all those damn demons/ monsters if just to find out more. The music is magic, and relaxes you until you fight a boss where you just wanna destroy it! Anyway, I'm near to finishing it now, but when I do it's gonna be a sad day as the greatest game in the world will now be completed. :( (But I get to continue the story with FFX-2 though). But if you like RPGs, or if you are just looking for a cheap game to buy, the buy this game! It's emotional, it's got adventure, it's got love (not much though so don't worry), and it's got some of the greatest characters in video gaming history! It's at least 60/70 hours long, it keeps you gripped, and its the best RPG since FF7! BUY IT NOW!

**** Very Surprising ****,
By James Grant (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Final Fantasy X Platinum (PS2) (Video Game)
I decided to ask for this PS2 game for Christmas because I had often heard mentions of the 'Final Fantasy' series and how fun they are to play and the fact that two of my friends recommended it to me.
Bearing in mind that I'd never played a 'Final Fantasy' in my life, I loved it. You can see that the creators and producers etc have taken care and effort into every aspect of the game, for example the battle system and the looks of the characters. All I can say is that if you want a lengthy game to amuse yourself with for a while and you like Role-Playing Games purchase 'Final Fantasy X'. Now.

The Greatest Story Ever told!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
By Amory Blaine (Co.Down) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Final Fantasy X (PS2) (Video Game)
FFX was the first final fantasy game that i had ever played. i had heard the reports that the series was a work of masterpiece but i had never been bothered with rpgs before. THIS GAME ROCKS! The characters, the story, the music (of which there is a four disc set - recommended)everything about this game is amazing! I love it. I have never gotten so emotionally caught up in a game before and felt so close to the characters. You will actually care about them and about their fates. Buy this game NOW! This is for me, the best game i have EVER played! It even beats (though only just)FFVII! The best game EVER!
