If you're a fan of the series, you'll probably like it. On there other hand, there's little new here.

I've enjoyed 2 Fire Emblem games before this one so I was surprised at my reaction to this game. To put it simply, I got bored. In some ways the game is easier this time around: if you play the turorial you'll get lots of characters to start off with. And you can can change troop types for free in between battles. Nothing special needed to change troop types either. Its that simple. Also in the "good but makes it too easy" column is the ability to make custom weapons that do extra damage, etc. This is _very_ handy and it is the key to progressing in the game at higher levels of difficulty.
And there's now typically 2 save points directly on the map so that you can save before a big battle.
But ulitmately its the same Fire Emblem game you've have seen before and (for me at least) there's only so many times I want to replay one map over and over again. I'm not knocking the game because it is fun, but dont say I didnt warn you that this game is too similar to the games before it.
