Fire Emblem

The Good
Fire Emblem 7, the first game to make it to the shores of the USA. This game is virtually flawless. All of the characters have deep storylines in them, and I found myself having affinities with quite a few of them. This is the game that stars Roy's father, NOT Roy. Every weapon is perfectly balanced. The weapons triangle adds a nice twist of strategy. The realistic factor of not being able to revive the dead adds difficulty and more strategy. This game is better than Final Fantasy tactics Advance by far, since it actually requires thought.

The Bad
Hmmm... Some parts were tedious, but nevertheless fun. The not-being-able-to-revive-the-dead thing also makes the game too hard for some people (cough, cough, FFTA fans). Some might find the storyline cheesy and cliched, but that's the translator's fault.

The Bottom Line
If you own a GBA, go buy this game now. I'm serious. Don't go for FFTA, go for Fire Emblem. The graphics rule. The gameplay rules, The storyline rules. Blinking portraits and animated characters rule. The sprites are awesome. Just go buy Fire Emblem.
