Fire Emblem Critic Reviews

Although the automatic save system makes it a great handheld title, it's perhaps even better suited to relaxing marathon sessions on your couch. Fire Emblem is well-crafted, and unless you have an aversion to turn-based strategy, it's highly recommend.

It is a game with flaws but it is an infinitely better game that "FFTA" is and yet still miles away from achieving the perfection that is "Advance Wars 2." That being said, I love this game, and I honestly cannot wait to see further installments.

Featuring a beautiful storyline with many personable characters, a well written musical score and an incredible amount of exciting and variable gameplay, Fire Emblem is one of those few games that you must own.

One of the most well-crafted RPGs we've seen. If you are into RPGs at all, run out and pick Fire Emblem up right now!

The single player quest is incredibly challenging and fulfilling, but the decent multiplayer mode doesn't quite reach what the team did for the "Advance Wars" series. A small gripe for an otherwise outstanding, satisfying Game Boy Advance design.

The graphics in those cut scenes are better than what we had really seen in a tactical RPG up to that point.

It came with the polish of "Advance Wars" and brought a tighter battle system, fresher presentation, and new epic feeling to the table.

I love how everything in this game is incorporated into the battle, including speaking withi NPC's and buying and equipping items.

Simply put, Advance Wars + Golden Sun + anabolic steroids = Fire Emblem.

The game continues to surprise you by tossing curveballs like siege weapons, random weather effects, and time-sensitive goals into the mix.

Provides an excellent story-driven, but more linear, alternative to the likes of "Advance Wars," for the budding portable strategist.

It's a game with real heart that fans of Japanese RPGs can't fail to fall in love with. It's also the best turn-based title on the Game Boy Advance since the original "Advance Wars."

Here's to Nintendo for finally removing its blinders and giving us the chance to make our own decisions.

If you're looking for a game with a great story, flawless gameplay, great music, and one that you want to be playing for hours upon end, then Fire Emblem is without a shadow of a doubt the game for you.

Fans of Strategy/RPG titles will love every second of Fire Emblem. From the involving story and deep characters, to the intense battles and thrill of victory.

Although compared to Advance Wars, Fire Emblem has its own personality that is worth making friends with - just don't loose any.

Anybody who enjoys turn-based tactical combat games will thoroughly enjoy this, and with its learning curve, anybody who was curious about playing this style of game will not be let down either.

The generic blend of fantasy elements doesn't detract from the fact that this is a fast-paced, compelling, excellently designed strategy game. Try it if you found "Advance Wars" too simple and "Final Fantasy Tactics" too complex.

Couples a compelling, character-driven epic tale with strategic gameplay that is accessible and still manages to be challenging and satisfying.

Fire emblem is good, but be prepared to sit through some boring tutorials, restart often, and cry like a little girl when you lose a key member of your party.
