About this product

Product Information

Square's Ehrgeiz is a 3D fighting game featuring 360° movement within elevated environments. Eleven of the world's finest combatants, including characters from Final Fantasy VII, have entered a tournament to win an ancient weapon. A series of ten fights comprise the tournament, with each fight requiring two victories to advance. Characters can fire projectiles or string together high, mid, and low attacks. They can also guard, spin to dodge blows, and perform interrupts to counter special moves. <br><br>One of the game's standout features is its number of play modes. The three main options include Arcade (fight characters in succession until you defeat the final boss), Versus (choose the stage, set the handicap, and challenge a friend), and Practice (characters have unlimited time and health). Four mini-games are also available. "Infinity Battle" involves defeating as many computer opponents as you can before your life meter runs out, while "Battle Runner" is a racing game that has characters trying to finish a course before their opponent. <br><br>"Battle Beach" consists of three events to test your button-tapping reflexes, and "Battle Panel" is structured like the classic strategy game, Othello: two teams try to occupy an 8x8 grid with panels of their respective colors. In a nod to Square's role-playing roots, Ehrgeiz also features a quest mode entitled "The Forsaken Dungeon." As one of two archaeologists searching for the spring of eternal life, you will battle monsters lurking within mazelike dungeons while collecting items, treasure, and equipment. You can also visit a village to replenish health or repair damaged armor or weapons.

Nice combination.
It’s really 2 games in one. While featuring characters from Final Fantasy VII in a 1v1 fighter game, it also has a full fledged dungeon crawler portion of the game that’s very interesting.

Great!
I love this game! The fighting game itself is great, but the dungeon mode is where the REAL game is at! Quite a lot of depth and is still good by today's standards!
