* An amazing, if challenging, game that will captivate you with its complexity and story ...
This is the first Fire Emblem game l played, and l bought it as a way to pass the time spent in the car when my family moved. Never did l think a strategy game could engross me so completely. The Fire Emblem games are famous for their unforgiving nature. When a characters dies, they're gone. No revive spell, no item to bring them back. They're dead. This fact influences every single move you make in this game. And while that sounds like the formula for an incredibly frustrating game, it's not. lt actually makes the game that much better. ln other games, as long as you win the battle you win. But Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones encourages, no, demands perfection. Because every unit lost is a person that you've gotten to know. ln many cases, you risked another character to even get this person to join your team. lf they die, you turn off your GBA and try again. And when you finally do beat a particularly challenging level without losing anyone, you feel very proud of the fact that you just conquered a force much larger than your own, and did it without taking one casualty. And so as the game tells the story of a rag-tag group of soldiers surviving and even winning in the face of overwhelming odds, that story becomes very personal. The characters didn't just win, you, as the player, won. lt's this very personal connection that you develop with the characters and their plight that makes the story so compelling, and what makes this game so good. Sure, it's hard. Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating at times. But when you take down the final boss and get to read the future fate of every unit you acquired over the course of the game, the satisfaction is worth every bit of that frustration and difficulty. 0n top of the story, the gameplay is every bit as good. You can customize units as they grow and change class, determining what types of weapons and skills they get. You can build friendships and relationships between units, which will influence what their end story will be. The music is nice, but sometimes a bit repetitive. The graphics are good, considering they're on the GBA, and the combat animations are well done. lf this tells you anything, my girlfriend borrowed this game from me several months ago. She now owns my GBA and this game simply for the fact that she won't give them back.
Bottom Line:
This is a very difficult game, but in the end it's well worth it. The story draws the player in and doesn't let go. lf you've got the patience for it then this game should not be passed up.

alright...
lt was okay. lt kind of repeated itself and missions always seemed the same. good for a road trip or boredom but nothing to get totally immersed in.
