Advantages: Long Story, Good Amount Of Characters, Very Addictive

Disadvantages: Music Gets Annoying, Not For Newbie's To The Franchise, Hardly Any Replayability

Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance is, in my opinion the best game in the Fire Emblem series. It is about a mercenary team and their newest member Ike, who is the father of the captain. They are hired by a princess to help her reclaim the throne.


-----[Gameplay]-----
This game works like a board game, where you take turns to strike, it can be tedious for some players, but I like it, whenever you strike you usually get a short animation of the characters attacking each other. The levels usually last around 1 hour, 2 hours tops. Something about this game is the fact that when one of your characters loses all their hit points they are dead for the rest of the game, so strategy is essential.


-----[Music]-----
The music is average at best, and it tends to get on your nerves after awhile so I turn it off usually.


-----[Replayability]-----
This game has hardly any replayability, which I found to be disappointing, after you beat the game there are some bonus levels though, but they are virtually impossible because you can only use characters that survived the whole game, and the final level is a massacre, it only left me with a few characters.

-----[Overall]-----
This is a long, but seriously addictive game, I'd highly recommend this to hardcore gamers, but not newbie's because this game is not very newbie friendly.

Summary: Great For Hardcore Fan's, Go For It If You Have The Guts, But Rent Because It's Expensive
