Great game overall, but certain spots could have been a lot better.

This game was great overall, and the replay value is high. It has the new feature to let u save in game that its predecessor didn't have. Its definitely not a game you can just sit down and beat real quick. As for the difficulties, easy was pretty good for new comers and veterans to get used to the new features other fire emblem games didn't have. Normal was actually a leap forward but is still beatable. Now as for Hard mode, this is where all the frustration begins. Its a HUGE leap forward in difficulty and also losses the in-game save feature. It also starts you around lots of enemies and has harder goals making it difficult to beat the first 3 levels. Maniac is only available after beating hard and is just pure brutal torture. Even veterans will find themselves getting used to the game over screen.
Things that also make the game a little bad is the graphics which shows almost no improvement from POR and the voice acting is t.e.r.r.i.b.l.e. Its like no enthusiasm was shown. Also the game does a good job in the cinema scene right? Well too bad there's only like 5 not including the part trailers (4). I hope you are good at reading cause after beating 1 little 6-45min chapter, you will find yourself reading dialogue for like 20min per chapter. This could have been prevented if there were more cinema scenes. But that's kind of what Fire Emblem is known for tho right? Another major let down is after beating the game there are NO TRIAL MAPS! what is up with that. After beating the game you basically lose all the training you have done and start the stry over again. Luckily after beating the games once you unlock new things in the story but too bad for people who beat the game like 4 times. Now i am a true FE fan and has played all of the including the ones only released i japan so I'm not just some kid trying to to point out all the bad aspects of the game but these things are just common sense like i mean come on new system, duh you'd think better graphic and if the GBA series had trial maps why cant this one on the big system. honestly if it played more like Sacred Stones map system, it would have been great although the base is nice. i don't know if i said this but basically u get no reward of any kind for beating the game except 2 story changes. As far as the terrible voice acting yud think that since this is a Nintendo exclusive that they would spend time on it and catch it and fix it but nope the didn't. now if any game in the world needs online play or multiplayer battle its this 1 i mean even the new DS FE has it. But ok now to talk about some good things. the game is very long so you get your money worth on that. the gallery and song gallery is very nice. there are tons of new classes such as sapth knight (wrong spelling), Marshall, marksman, etc. well overall great challenging rpg game.
