Fire Emblem is one of the best strategic games out there for game boy advance today.This is not just some chess style game…this game you have to expect the unexpected… be warn beforehand that this game is not by any means simple. It takes time to think of all the strategies you can use. If you are familiar with this type of game then it should be very simple to learn to play with ease. Personally I think this game is much, don't bash me for saying this, better then Advance War because it takes into account other such things as speed and skill abilities. In Advance Wars, the stronger unit wins nearly all the time. The units you receive are not expendable. In Fire Emblem you will be resetting your game in order to make sure your unit lives. The battles themselves are exciting to watch. Also you should be much more careful in which weapons you use. Do not just blindly use your most powerful weapon on a unit that has one health. This game makes you think whether or not you should use that or should I move that unit there. Just because your unit has an advantage doesn't mean it will win and vice versa for disadvantage. Plus the variety of units is pretty good. There's mages, monks, cavaliers, healers, archers, knights and more. Plus some units can upgrade their class making them much stronger and can use different weapons or magic abilities. One thing that I especially like is that you can use the terrain to your advantage. If you are in a fort then your defense is higher and you are more likely to avoid an attack. All in all good game.

This game is a lot of fun.  I happen to play it all the time, even beating the whole game, I still play it.  Good review.
