A game that will make you feel like you truly accomplished something.
This game will want to make you tear your fingernails out in one of the very first levels. It seems like the game designers were proud to show off just how difficult they could make it from the start. But stay the course and keep going, behind the difficulty is a game with a good story, some good characters(a few of the characters i killed off just because they must have been legally retarded) and a classic Fire Emblem game.
The game play consists the same way all Fire Emblem games do, run up to an enemy, chooses to attack, and watch a brief scene of your character attacking, the AI does the same thing, though they are smart and will target some of your weakest characters first. If one of your characters dies, they are gone for good, they dont pop up after the fight with 1 health, they just die, a reason why this game takes such a high strategy skill.
The graphics certainly arnt the best, nor are they the worst. In my own opinion they dont look that much better then the gamecube graphics, but thats not why we play the game so its not a big deal. The story was good, although it follows the previouse Fire Emblem for the Gamecube, so you might be a bit lost if you havnt played it.
In the end I though Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn was a good addition to the series. Far to often games come out that you can beat within a night, but not Fire Emblem. Take your time and dont let it get to you. But beware, if you need constant action or great detail to graphics, you might want to skip out on this. But if you like to plan ahead, flank your enimies, and use tactics, then this game is most definitely for you.
