While it's a fun game with a enjoyable battle system with it's own twist on the Materia system, the missions are unbelevably repetitive and outside of {{100%Completion}} or fighting the Bonus Boss, there is little to no appeal in finishing all 300 missions.
Zack Fair is easily one of the best Square protagonists and is a nice subversion to the Flanderization of Cloud and it's nice to get to understand Shinra as well as it's employees (Cissnei, Tseng, Sephiroth, Lazard) a little better. Angeal and Genesis on the other hand are the weak links in the chain, because after the first two or three chapters of the game, you want Angeal to shut up about honour and Genesis to just shut up altogether.
Despite this, the game is a fun exploration of the Final Fantasy VII world and Zack is a great protagonist.
Flawed but good prequel.
