One of the best Fire Emblem games ever created.
Story 9/10
The story take place on the continent of Tellius ans is about a mercenary named Ike; who is the son of Griel leader of the Griel Mercenaries. When Griel dies an early death Ike becomes the Leader of the Griel Mercaneries. Also, Daein forces are trying to take over the continent of Tellius. Ike and the mercanaries set out on a quest that would take them all over the continaent of Tellius to defeat the Daein forces.
The story is pretty good, but somewhat predictible, and since you have to read a lot of text... you might not get too much involved in the storyline.
Gameplay 9/10
The Gameplay is great and pretty easy to get used to. The Weapon and Magic triangles make the gameplay simple which is good. This game also features brand new laguz units which are beast-men that transform from human form to beast. The problem is that there are useless actions like the way you can control you can have the computer control your units. Other than that the gamwplay is nearly perfect.
Grapics 9/10
The grapics are great in the cutscenes, but the gameplay graphics are nothing to be suprised about.
Replay Value 9/10
I suprisingly found myself addicted to this game. I beat it three times and enjoyed every minute of it, but to a new Fire Emblem player, they might only want to beat it once or twice.
Sound 9/10
The sounds in the game are awesome and the music is fun to listen to. Then again there might be some soundtracks you won't like.
This is one of the best Fire Emblem games in the series and I believe more will be released much better than this one.
