Video Game Reviews of Fire Emblem
Customer Review: Still great in 2008
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a DS and since it's compatible with GBA games I decided to play some of the best rated GBA games on it too. I played Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (Similar game but more war based rather than rpg) and enjoyed it.
Fire Emblem was released in 2003 so I expected the graphics to be a bit dated, but they aren't that bad for a small screen. Overall, the gameplay and story was excellent. Lot's of characters, lots of plot twists, and enough strategy. I loved that if you 'lost' a character in battle that you no longer got to use them. There are optional side quests/plots, which I skipped the first time around. I definitely enjoyed this game enough to play it again to catch more of the plot details and play the side quests. It's that good. I also got the second installment for the GBA and the 3rd for the Game Cube. After I finish those, I definitely plan on playing the newest one on the Wii.
I also liked that the chapters/missions were not so hard that you had to play them over and over to finish and move onto the next part of the game/story. At times it seemed easy, and it would have been nice to be able to turn the difficulty up...but at the same time it wasn't so easy that it wasn't fun.
Anyhow, I would strongly recommend this game if you like Advance Wars, Final Fantasy, Jeanne D'arc on the PSP, and others that are similar in style).
-- Added later: Upon finishing this game, you find that more is unlocked. For example, you can go through parts with other lead characters to get more insight from their perspective. Going through to unlock other characters...etc...this game has more replay value than I originally thought and I thought it had good replay value to start with.
