If you can get past the choppy combat and graphics, you will have and awesome time playing FE:PoR!
User Rating: 9.4 | Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki GC
It seems as though Fire Emblem may be the next big thing in American video gaming. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is without a doubt the 2nd best RPG on the Gamecube (#1 is Tales of Symphonia) Whether you are trying it out for the 1st time, or a returning veteran, the same formula that fueled the other FE games is better than ever. The only disappointing part is the graphics aren't that special and the combat is so-so, but the story is magnificent and the characters are especially lifelike. A useful feature is the bonus EXP you use at the base, so you can raise your character that sucks, without risking his/her life. I hope that there will be many more Fire Emblem games that are as good as this one.
