Back to gibberish titles for some time, though as far as those go - Ehrgeiz isn't a bad choice. A PlayStation 1-era 3D fighting game that included cameos from several FF7 characters, including the man of the hour: Zack Fair.

And so that delightful period where I don't have to control Cloud comes to an end. To add insult to injury, I also get to sit through the end of his existential crisis where he realizes that he is not, in fact, a badass, but rather a soupy mix of a dead badass, his archnemesis and a loser - his true self. I get that this is supposed to add some much needed depth to Cloud's character, but by the time this information comes up - it's too little, too late.

I don't think I'll ever stop laughing when this game uses FMV as backgrounds. It just ends up looking so hokey and ridiculous. Especially when you see the in-game 3D models try to move in sync with the video, but it just looks wrong to me.

On the plus side, that submarine section, like the train section in the previous video, was actually pretty fun. Even if I did end up winning on accident.
