Pretty fun, until you beat the 15 minute story mode...

User Rating: 6.8 | Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Dual Sympathy DS
First let me start off by saying this game, along with Inuyasha were the only reasons i decided to purchase a DS Lite. Now im having mixed reactions about that.

I have to say i was pretty excited when i first popped this game in, but that shortly faded. The story mode is very short, the only decent thing here is that you can play with many characters after this.

Here is a rundown of the game:

Gameplay- The sidescrolling effect is nice but can get old very fast. Repetitive enemys really put a boring touch on it. I do like how you use the bottom screen for alchemy, and power ups.

Graphics- This would look fantastic if it were a Gameboy Advance game, but the fact of the matter is, that this is the nintendo ds. It has the capability to have much better graphics than what is being put into it. Overall, the environments and character models are nice.

Sound- Voice overs are what make this game, its a nice touch to hear ed and al's voice, unlike the Inuyasha game inwhich its horrible music the whole time. Its also nice to hear scar or mustang when performing there main attacks.

Overall, Fullmetal Alchemist Dual Sympathy is a good game. I reccomend it to only the diehard fans, who are desparate for a decent anime game for the DS. Hopefully this is just the first for many to come, but improvements are needed.

Have a good day and thanks for reading!!
