People complain of its lack of innovation but it does a good job simulating the fact that it was the first in the series

Well i picked this title up for 2 reasons

1. it had Marth
and
2. It was a fire emblem game and im a fan of the series

And i must say i was at first disappointed at the lack of features such as: rescuing, support convos, mounted units moving after an attack.

But then i realized that it was the first game in the series and it really showed me how much the series has come since the game first came out in japan. yeah the lack of said features is annoying but it makes it from a little more complex not having these things, and while the single player campaign only took me roughly 18 hours to complete i have found the online mode to be fun and enjoyable and have played online mode for about 3 hours possibly more.

Overall Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, is worth the buy weather your a fan of the series or just like tactical rpg's.
