While the may GBA lack some solid games, dont let this one fool you. If you own a GBA or a DS for that matter this game is worth picking up. Much of this game is based around true turn based combat, where you enter your commands then wait while your enemy puts in thier commands. Some would base this as a problem, but I find it highly enjoyable. This game also has a very large cast of charatcers each with there own stats and abiltys. There are various wepons and many forms of battles to be had. The story wasnt as great as it could be, but for a classic RPG, it passes. Basically if your reading this, think Advance Wars set along time ago. I highly recommand this game.

i love this game. i love the storyline and idk just the feel of the entire game. the tactical and strategy parts are perfectly molded together for an awesome gaming experience. and the role playyer progression is incredible also. i love the fact that you can also upgrade your units, and the number and variations of ground troops is fullfilling as well. two thumbs up great game

Awesome Characters to raise: Rath Nino Matthew Sain Dorcas Eliwood Lyn Hector Guy OK maybe bartre and not as good as fire emblem 6 but it's okay great game though

If you are a fan of strategy, RPG, or just good games, and you have a GBA, pick this one up! It operates like a normal strategy game. Move your units across a large playing field, encountering enemies and reaching a goal. But the way it is executed is amazing. Great battle features like criticals, the weapon triangle, hit rates all correspond to each other. And a major aspect: when a character dies, they're gone for good! Many other things about the games shine. There is a great assortment of weapons and classes, and the levels are always entertaining. The story is incredible as well, and you will get truly attached to your units. You really have to play to see the greatness of this game. There are only two things that drag this down. One, the graphics are not the best. The unit profiles are great, and the battle affects are cool, but it could have been better overall. But this hould not deter you. The second is that this game can be frustrating and hard at points, especially when units die. But that's no reason not to pick this game up. Trust me, you'll have the time of your life with it!

This game is the best GBA game ever. It has lots of game play, and rep;ay value. It has an exilent story to. There are so many units to choose from and gives a sense of reality when units die because they don't come back. If you don't have this game you must buy it.

This game is the best game ever on GBA. It has it all. Assains, Mages, Knights, Palidins. I love it. Most people down it because the dull beginning but if they just played longer thay would have found the best strategy games ever. It has a huge playing eviroment, tons of diffenet types of charctoers. I rcomend this game to any one.

Fire Emblem is one of the best strategy games ive ever played! I like the it combines elements of both stategy and rpg and forms them into one kick a*s game. If your a fan of the Advance Wars series then you'll definitly like this game. The only thing that sucks is that when one of your units die, their gone forever. Other than that i love this game i give it a 5.0

This is a great strategy rpg game similar to andvance wars but is set in the middle ages. Really fun and addicting yet challenging. You may get frustrated sometimes because one of your people dying. Meaning you can go on with out him or restart the battle. This is one of the greats on the gba!!!
