Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Gameplay: Fire Emblem, as many may know, is a turn based strategy game. You move all of your units, your enemy moves all of their units. Each unit has a set movement range, which is the amount of grid squares your unit can move each turn. After moving, the unit can perform one of many options, but here are the most basic:
Attack- Your basic form of killing an enemy unit.
Heal- Your basic form of healing your units (requires a staff, only certain units can use staves).
visit- If you see a home, visit it! The person inside might just give you something nice...
item- Use an item. This can be a form of healing, as some items have healing abilities. There are also stat boosting items.
Trade- Trade items with an allied unit. Useful if a unit has a weapon they can't use.
After you perform all of your actions, it's the enemy phase. If they kill one of your men, they're gone for good, so protect them at all costs!
Note: Your men are not simply generic units, like warrior. They are all separate people, with distinct personalities. Certainly a plus in this type of game.
5/5
Graphics: Not the best that can be found on Wii, but it'll do, at least for now.
4/5
Sound: This games music was absolutely terrific! I sometimes decide to turn this game on again (after having beaten it six times) just to go to the music section!
5/5
Replay Value:As stated above, I played through the game six times, but I get the feeling that's just me, as my friend played it only once...
There is bonus content available on a second play through, so it is worth playing at least twice.
3/5
Overall, this was an amazing game! I would have given it 4.5/5, but that wasn't an option. Just consider it 4.5/5 material, for now...

Side note: If you have completed Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, the gamecube prequel to Radiant Dawn, and you still have your memory card with the data on it, you can load that data to Radiant Dawn in order to get stat boosts for certain characters!

Side note 2: The story of this game was awesome, and if Nintendo were to think about releasing a book... I'd be first in line to get it! Don't skip the story, it adds much to the experience!

I've thought about getting this game, but I've never been certain that it is my kind of game. I'm hoping to see it on sale soon, but I don't think I'll pick it up...

I almost got this game, but I ended up getting Trauma Center: New Blood (Which is very difficult, but Fire Emblem is supposed to be too) You didn't mention much about the game it could've been longer

Yes, it could've been longer, but the main game was 42 chapters already. It takes a while to beat all 42 chapters, keeping all your favorite people alive. If Nintendo pushed that up to... Let's say, 50 chapters, or even 45, it would have been almost impossible to survive the game with all your favorite units breathing.

i don't like ur replay value score... any tactic game has replay value... and alot of it! you can use diffrent units every time. change the diffuculty... i am on my second replay right now... (i am slow ) but i am taking my tie and i usualy restart if i lose a character... i like finding the best way to complet a mission with minimal losses and maxamise my exp.

but that's just me xD

I think I would've gotten this game if it wasn't so hard and a multiplayer would be a plus. If the rumors are true about buying, trading units and battling online in Fire Emblem DS I might get it. I'd like to play other people in a Turn-based stratergy game it's more fun than by yourself. And offline multiplayer so I can beat my friends
