    With its large expansive game play and large battles around every corner. The game is hard so don't expect to beat it down with out at least sending your Gamecube into orbit at least once.

    An incredible, epic journey well worth experiencing by Fire Emblem fans or by anyone who likes role-playing games.

    Really does nothing particularly better than its predecessors have done. It is a traditional strategy RPG in almost every way.
