Overall - 9.5
This Fire Emblem game is I think the first American Fire Emblem game released. This game is so fun to play, but not as fun than Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones. This game is fun to start out before playing the second game because if you play Sacred Stones first and then this one, you won't enjoy playing this as much as the second one. It is a very good game to say, but most people prefer the other one than this game. The game play is magnificent and is an awesome strategic game.
Graphics - 10
The graphics are amazing. The characters look good and the area looks perfect. From what I see is when you drag your cursor on your character, their portrait looks a bit messed up, probably because the image was squeezed in there and it seemed to have messed up the image a little, but other than that it is good. I like the effects on during the battle and the critical hits just make it astonishing with flashing graphics that show how powerful the damage is being inflicted to the enemies.
Sound - 10
The sound is good. The music has good melodies and the sound effects sound almost realistic when a character hits the other one. It is just perfect, no mess ups or anything.
Addictiveness - 5
The reason why I put 5/10 for Addictiveness is because this game seems to be a hatred of me. It does not like me at all. I was at a far chapter (around the 20s) and I was having so much trouble. I was one of those people that wanted to have all the characters in the game and if I lose one, I am starting over the chapter. It was very hard for me because the characters do not seem to get a lot of experience points, which is bad for them if they do not get a lot. I would rather play Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones than this game. Once I beat this game, there is no chance of coming back to this one and playing all over again. I am close to beating the game and I seem to have a lot of trouble with it, so hopefully I will be able to beat it and finally be done with this cursed game.
Story - 8
The story seems to sounds a bit like back in the Knights day. It starts out with having peace in their land, till dragons and demons come in and vanquished their homeland and heroes try to stop them and be able to have peace once again. I am not sure if I am saying this right, but it is what I think the story seems to look like.
Depth - 7
The game has some good features in the game like equipping items, leveling up people, and playing online with people. Another thing is that your people can change class and have better stats in the game. Once you beat the game, you can play "Hector Mode" (I think that is what it is called) which I have no idea what it is since I have not beaten the game yet. It probably has something to do with Hector in the game (obviously).
Difficulty - 6
The game is quite easy at first, but when you get far into the game, it gets very hard. Like I said, I had a lot of trouble in this game, but once it is over, I am finally free from it. The enemies seem to play fair in most parts of the game.
Wrap Things Up...
Fire Emblem on the GBA is not bad to play and can be fun for people that like playing strategic games. I recommend trying this game out because it is a whole lot of fun, but not more fun than Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones. Play this first because if you play Sacred Stones then this one, you won't seem to enjoy this game at all.
