I enjoyed the first installment of this story, "Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance." Very little has changed, if you liked the first one you'll like this one as well. The differences are slight and the story line is a little more involved, you play three different groups or armies sometimes against the other groups. Characters move between the groups and the story line holds up pretty well. If there's a downside, it's the common theme of many role playing games(with out spoilers hopefully) "good," turns out to be something else. I'm replaying it on difficult mode now and it is a real blast. As with the first one it is very entertaining to replay trying different tactics and developing different units.

Path of Excitement!!!!!

This is one of the better Wii games out there. Fire Emblem has so many good points story, gameplay and graphics are just a few. You have to think about every move in this game. This strategy game is in the same vein of Final Fantasy Tactics and Old School Sega Shining Force gaming software(ones for the Genesis and Saturn Consoles). If you want a game that makes you think and have fun than look no further. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is a must have for your Wii library.

Warning this game will kill your free time

I've been play this game on average for 2 hours a day for over a week on easy mode and I'm not even half way done, this game is very challenging, which can be considered frustrating for some. Overall it's easy to control and the storyline is interesting.

Great gameplay

Okay my review is going to be a abridged version of most reviews but here it goes: This game was great like every Strategy game. It was challenging, brilliant, and kept me stuck to this game for at at least a hour a day. But words of caution to the people who thinks this game is all about swinging your wii-mote like a mad man. This game is not like Red-Steel or Dragon Quest Sword, so if you plan on seeing a great strategy game with difficult tatics to use at your disposal then i advise you to get this game, if not DO NOT BUY IT.

Mostly awesome.

I really liked this game. It's almost entirely what I've come to expect from a Fire Emblem game.

That being said, I have three major complaints.

1. What in the hell did they do to the Support Conversations? Seriously. If it's not broke, don't try to fix it. A lot of them don't even make sense; although, they can sometimes be unintentionally hilarious. Mia: "No whining on the battlefield, Boyd!" Boyd: "Just try and stop me!"

2. ***MILD SPOILERS*** Whoever designed the last boss battle needs to be shot. It would be difficult WITHOUT that shield thing, and I didn't realize that Nihil would almost literally be REQUIRED. It's extremely frustrating.

3. Some of the characters are just useless, and you're still forced to use them. I realize that this makes the element of strategy more important instead of just sending in your powerhouses to wipe the floor with the enemy, but come on. Give me SOME kind of stats to work with.

Other than that, though, great game.

Love this Game

This game, through my standards, happens to be one of the greatest games I have ever played. The gameplay itself maybe tweaked a bit in order to have an "easy-access" way to reset in order if you lose a valuable playable character, but overall, the graphics are stunning, the storyline is exquisite and the CG cutscenes are breath-taking for one who has played 90% of the Fire Emblem Series. This sequel is a must-have for those who have enjoyed the Fire Emblem Series, especially Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Game is great fun

Tactical game is challenging with a good story line. It is more than fun to play. It actually makes my son think.

Fast shipping, and was thrilled with the delivery time. This game can be challanging to new comers of the series, however for those who played the series before, it is a great game that will test you to your limits. It can get fustrating at times, but the new battle save system is a lifesaver, so no more starting back from the start of the chapter if you fail. Good game overall.

This is the game I've searched for!!!!!

Having grown up playing RPGs on the NES, SNES, N64, PS2, Wii and other systems, I've searched for truly engaging games for years. This is one of the first that truly made me love gaming again. I found myself unable to step away from the game for more than an hour or so. The storyline was so involved that I was truly concerned about the story and the characters. Having made it 75% of the way through the first time (30+ hours) before I realized I was missing key elements, I restarted and found the game even more enjoyable as I played through again. The gameplay was fun, yet challenging and once I defeated the game I've found myself up in the air about playing it again at a higher difficulty just to unlock new options.

All in all, if you grew up playing RPGs and still love them, pick up this game right away, grab your sword and staff, and enjoy yourself while you save the world of Tellius.

Not for the beginner strategist!

First of all, let me say that I grew up on what I consider true RPG games such as Zelda and Final Fantasy. I have very little experience with pure strategy games, such as FF Tactics.

That said, it may have been just me, but I found this game extremely HARD. In some cases, I felt like if I didn't perform each move EXACTLY right all the way through the complex battle, I would have to start over. This made it very frustrating to me, as even with the strategy guide, I just couldn't figure out the complex strategies of this game.

The plot was interesting, the graphics fine, and I probably would have enjoyed the strategy-based format if I hadn't been so frustrated. This game does have an easy stage and believe me - I was playing it.

All in all, this is a well made game, but it's not for amateurs. If you are a championship chess player, you'll probably love it. If you're used to handling overwhelming challenges in RPGs by taking the time to level up more, you'll likely have the same difficulties I did.
