As a hardcore Vincent Fan - I have the Japanese version of this game (which is absolutely worth it for the Voice Actors alone, Vincent's seiyuu is sooo secksy!!!) AND the English version, which has better maneuverability and the ability to read the menu in English - a pretty good tradeoff for the frikkin' annoying English VAs.

But yeah.

My main interest in this game was and always will be Vincent. It was the first FPS game I'd ever played. Despite my brother's attempts many times before.

Which makes me darned proud that I was so good at this game. MUCH better than my brother, who likes to think he's such an FPS expert. HA. *runs off giggling*

I suck so bad at shooter games. . .I got my cousin to play it for me while I watched XD

As much as I loved this game, I still loved Final Fantasy 7 more--it was just really cool to sort of see things from Vincent's point of view. I liked that a lot--how things changed for him. Even though I'm not normally a big fan of first person shooters, it was still a good story line and plot. And it was VINCENT. How could you go wrong with Vincent?

...You can't.

I thought that this game was pretty great; I unlocked everything I could--just because it was so neat. And I wanted bragging rights. >.>

I beat the game for one of my friends while she was over just so I could let her see the ending and think that Vincent had died because--no lie, the first time through, after I'd JUST beaten the final boss and all those glowy things started falling...and then when it zoomed in on the keychain of Cerberus...? I totally thought that I just killed Vincent Valentine by beating this game.

I was devastated! But...in the end, everything worked out fine, and I was very pleased. I liked the clip scenes and the gameplay and everything, except it seemed just a litle too easy for me, even on the hardest level.

...I liked how vincent's hair got those little weird spikey-cow licks, too.

@Shiggy - totally agree. Well, except the hair spike things. Those were weird.

But yeah, I completely lost it at the end when I saw his Cerberus Danglie and .... yeeps.

And of course the original was better! That's where it all starts for us, after all. ^_^
This was just a compilation so that Squeenix could bleed more money from us crazy fans (worked, didn't it)

I'd so totally get their phone games, the BeforeCrisis Turk game and the Dirge Lost Chapters for mobile....
But until the phones and service outside of Japan are up to the standards needed, I'm out of luck.

(lost chapter focuses on just HOW Vincent got from WRO HQ to the underground part of the ShinRa manor)

I liked it.
Yes it was short, and yes it wasn't as sophisticated as other established FPS games, but that's *why* I enjoyed it.

FPS games give me *really* bad motion sickness; I can only play Half Life for 30mins before needing to lay down for an hour to stop myself throwing up (ironically enough, i don't get motion sickness from anything else :?)
With DOC I was able to play the game without any problems.

I study computer games at University. I *know* it isn't a "good game" per se. As with any game there are bits done well and bits done badly.
If you played this game expecting it to be like Halo you were GOING to be disappointed. I approached DOC with the mentality that I'd judge the game on it's own merits.

I like Final Fantasy. Vincent is my favourite character. This game was meant to explore his past and explain his relationship with Lucrecia (who i wish could have taken a run and jump at her earliest convenience). As far as I'm concerned, it did just that. Perhaps not to the level of complexity that some would have liked (I too wished for more on his life with the Turks and less on his feelings for Lucrecia), but I felt it never tried to be more than what it was.
And that was possibly the problem.
It tried to be everything and nothing at the same time.
My philosophy is, if you enjoyed the game, then for you it was a good game. If you didn't, that doesn't necessarily make it a *bad* game, just not the right game for you.
