Written by Kiker
THE GOOD:
Great sprites
Story is pretty good
Battle system is fairly simple
Control an army
Long length

THE BAD:
Nothing new or interesting
Gets a bit boring after a while
If you lose a unit in 1 battle, he/she is gone forever

SUMMARY:
Fire Emblem, for those who are new to the series, may find this to be a fair bit like Heroes of Might and Magic. Well, yes...it is a lot like that.

You are playing on a square-like grid, with many units ready to kill some enemies. You start with 1 unit, and as you progress, you gain more units. Soon, you get a big army. There are 3 good guys who lead their own platoons of medievil soldiers, and they end up joining forces in order to kill the evil emporer (not spoiling...I also forgot his name).

The game starts off with Lyn having to save her grandfather from death against his rival. However, Lyn runs into a lot of Bandits. With you as her leader, Lyn has to...

THE GOOD:
- Many characters.
- A great storyline.
- Good battle graphics.
- If you loved Advance Wars you will love this.
- Promotions to choose from.
- Alot of items and weapons.
- Game is easy to get into right away.
- Support conversations that make the story more interesting.
- A sound system.

THE BAD:
- The multiplayer could have been better.
- The green neutral units could have been smarter.
- You have to be a certain color.
- Enemy difficulty.
- If you lose the main character the story is over.

SUMMARY:
I liked the game, even though it could of had a choice of your colors, a create your own character option, and a better multi-player. Other than that if you want a good game that will rid you of boredom for 6 hours this is the game. (Only good if your a big fan of strategy games.)

THE GOOD:
Storyline
Gameplay
Music

THE BAD:
Ummm... Ummm... *Trys to think of something* The multiplayer is kind of bad.

SUMMARY:
This is the best game I have ever played. I have played it more than any other game... The storyline is quite good, and the music is good... For a video game... The gameplay is similar to the Advance Wars series, as it's made by the same people. However, The multiplayer is not as good as it was in AW. The game is also rather challenging, and it took me over 24 hours to beat.-_- And it has almost infinite replay value. And it has a large cast of characters (Somewhere around 43) that can "support" each other and, in some cases, have special endings together. It runs with a random number generator, which screws me and my bad luck, but that just makes it harder.

THE GOOD:
1. Gripping storyline.
2. Great turn based RPG.
3. Weapons triangle
4. Characters you grow to love.

THE BAD:
1. Left me wanting more.(not nescessarily a bad thing)

SUMMARY:
Fire Emblem is one of the must buys of GBA games. It's gripping storyline, turnbased system, and unique system of weapons, makes it an all-around awesome game. A couple other great things about it is its different levels of difficulty, with increase from easy to hard. And the characters. I was greatly impressed by the range of characters. The goods far outway the bad sides, which they themselves are few and far between. One bad thing is, it ended, and I felt like I just needed more. Another is that some points of the game are slower than the rest, and make me lose a bit of interest. Anywho, I go two thumbs up as high as I can raise them, and more after that.

THE GOOD:
*Strategy. This game really makes you think. It's like, chess in a certain sense, except there are a wider range of attack patterns, they gain experience, and the feild is never quite the same.

*Characters. The characters are the icing on the cake really. With all the supports, and alternate endings, you get to really know the characters and understand them.

*Variety. There was a wide selection of items. Instread of their just being a bad axe, an average axe, and the uber axe. There is a wide amount of weapons and items which make the game much more fun.

*Extras. The little details are always the most fun part in any game

THE BAD:
*The Main Characters. I personally hated the 3 main characters. Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn. Epescially Eliwood. Eliwood is nearly impossible to...

Written by Tres USA
THE GOOD:
-Strategy
-Managing units
-Different types of units (always good)
-Story
-Characters
-Music is alright
-Got me hook for hours

THE BAD:
-After playing for about 2 hours of tutorials I found myself at the end of the game, but that's what I thought, although I would rather stay with Lyn's story and units, I still have to play Elliwood's story.

-I was worried that it would end too early, Lyn's story was short and you'll meet some units that you can only use ones.

SUMMARY:
This game is one of the best games for GBA IMO, if you love real time strategy, you'll love this game, if you're a fan of games with medevil units, you'll love this, archers, knights, heavy armored units. Who don't like games like those eh? Lyn's story is hella short, with 90% of it is boring tutorials, annoying >_<

Written by Mario Is Fat Magazine Rack
THE GOOD:
Everything

THE BAD:
There ia an end to it *sighs*

SUMMARY:
This is the first Fire Emblem released outside of Japoan and it was certainly worth the wait.The game is a FFTA'esque affair, tactics are envolved, with RPG elements thrown in.
You start the game as the character Lyn after she has found you, a wandering tactician.You long but most enjoyable journey starts there.There are many characaters for you to enlist and there is an inclision of support conversations, adding to the already huge replay value.
If you have not played this game then play it, if you have not bought this game buy it.

The verdict
A question:
Are you dumb?
If you answered yes then you should: Buy 10 copies of fire emblem
If you answered no then you should: Buy 1 copy of Fire Emblem

Written by Scarecrow3000 Canada
THE GOOD:
Finally a part of the Japanease seires Fire Emblem makes it's way to store our store shelf. Amazing plot, Awsome In-depth charactors, instant saving after every move you make, and replay value.

THE BAD:
The charactors that we wanted to see most, Marth and Roy ar enot in this game. It has a multiplayer, but there is defently not much to it. You can only fight with opponents and some would argue the game is too easy.

SUMMARY:
Fire Emblem is an amazing GBA game. I can play it through many times and never get tired of it, witch doesn't happen too often. There is also somthing called Supports, they will have you staying up all night trying to acheive the secret conversations between your favorite charactors, and some lead to more...
The multyplayer is a classic Unit on unit battle, with no strategy to it. It can go up to four people playing the multyplayer, but with no teams.
Marth and Roy, our favorite charactors from Super Smash...

THE GOOD:
•The battle animations
•Awesome classes
•Great weapons
•Great storyline
•Awesome charecters

THE BAD:
•Too addicting. XD
•Dissappointing multiplayer

SUMMARY:
As stated above, this game is awesome in nearly every aspect. This is, as of January 12, 05, the best game I've ever played.

Fire Emblem is a great strategy game with the same rules as Advance Wars-with a few differences-but let's you see it from the perspective of a certain unit, not just some random unti with no name.

The basic storyline of Fire Emblem is, Chapters 1-10, a girl trying to claim her place as the marquesses grandaughter. But, in chapters 11-31/32, it'smore interesting. It starts with a noble trying to find his father. Then, after chapter 19, the storyline changes to the game's major plot. But I won't spoil it.

If you have notplayed Fire Emblem, get this game.

There's only one word to sum it up:...
