Fun for a while but just too short...

User Rating: 6.5 | Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Dual Sympathy DS
Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy is a fun beat 'em game which sort of reminds me of some of the beat 'em up from the old Sega Megadrive, while the game does let you play though all the episodes which appeared on the anime its still a pretty short game. Although saying that you can play through the game on hard mode and character mode which allows you to play through the game with 5 other character not including Ed, so that adds to the reply value of the game I guess. As does the mini-game mode however the mini games aren't all that challenging really. The bosses on this game are quiet fun at times; you actually have to think of strategies to beat them rather than just running in with your fists and alchemy attacks, speaking of which I thought that was a fun element for them to have added to the game. There's also plenty to unlock such as character bios, voices, pictures that sort of thing.
So really while Dual Sympathy is a fun game to play and carries through the whole anime storyline, its way too short and is really only fun until you've unlocked everything and most of that isn't worth trying to unlock.
