HIGH EXPECTATIONS...low results

This game is kind of boring. I'm usually a big RPG fan but this game just comes up short. There's no real level progression, you're stuck to the rock-paper-scissors paradigm for most of the game, and its really hard to get into the story when you feel compelled to play a mission n-teen times because someone you thought you were making a good warrior or god forbid mage dies and you no longer have them...forever. I haven't played a lot of RPGs on the DS but I've played ones with far better graphics and sound so its not winning any awards there. Never tried the multiplayer modes so I cannot comment on those. If you're looking for a good RPG on the DS stick to the FF series and you'll get much better graphics/characters and gameplay.

I Was a big fan of the first two Fire Emblem games for the GBA but this game cant even compare to those. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone..
