An ideal handheld game. It's simple to pick up, the quest is long and worthwhile, and there's plenty of replay value.
Not only is this title many times better than the original, it offers one of the best and fulfilling experiences for the Game Boy Advance.

Sacred Stones is a slightly easier game than FE7, but it does offer more tangible changes that improve upon the formula from the previous game. The ability to choose which class your characters can change into, stages to train in, post game content, and the addition of skills help make Sacred Stones a more robust title to the predecessor.

If you can handle a strategy game that'll ruthlessly punish you for making even minor mistakes, pick this up the next chance you get.
A hallmark tactical RPG that is sure to please fans of the series and those who like the genre. [JPN Import]
More unique battlegrounds, different attack ranges and effects, a new mechanic or two - the Emblem formula would benefit from some added complexity. [July 2005, p.117]
You won't find anything grounbreaking here, but you will find a highly enjoyable strategy game. [July 2005, p.82]
Over-levelling all too easily threatens to undermine Fire Emblem's unique place in the genre. It's a problem easily side-stepped by both choosing an appropriate difficulty level and tempering your levelling, but nevertheless the option is unwelcome. [Aug 2005, p.90]
I have this ported on WiiU rather than on GBA. What a fantastic game. FE done right. Story, combat. OST is amazing.
Easy 10.
Loved it straight away.

Absolutely love this game. Defined a good part of my childhood. The handheld versions of fire emblem have their own unique charm.

I like it! It is different to the one that came before, but I think it is still enjoyable and replayeable... and the sprite animations are nice.

This is a great tactical RPG from when Fire Emblem was still a great tactical RPG series. With two branching stories, the level of replay-ability instantly doubles to see the events of the game from two different points of view. The customization of units has a little more depth this time around, due to being able to select one of two classes upon a class up. As with the earlier Fire Emblem games, the plot is thick and rich, interesting well designed characters, and geopolitical conflict that moves the narrative forward. If you love tactical RPG games, don't pass this one up, there are a lot of extras and unlockables to achieve even long after the game has been completed!

The only problem with this game, its the items to make the promotions, you need to think very smart and pick your favorite characters. But still fun and the choices of histories are great
