Tactical Revolution

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is the pinnacle of turned-based strategy games. It has awesome graphics, amazing sound, loads of content, quests, and jobs making for almost endless combinations, and very tight and responsive controls. The menus might take a little time to get used to at first, but after a few plays, you'll be shifting through menus, equipping characters, and changing jobs like a pro. The story is the only game's weak point, but there is so much to make up for it, that just mentioning it is only nitpicking. The heart of any tactics game is the combat, and FFT A2 does not disappoint. Battles, big and small, come alive with vibrant, colorful visuals, amazing sound-effects, and strategic attack and defense with magic, weapons, shields, etc. This game is highly addictive and you'll marvel at just how 5 hours went by in the blink of an eye. If you own a DS and love turn-based strategy games, do yourself a serious favor and pick this one up. You'll be glad you did. It's almost worth buying a Nintendo DS just for this game alone.
