The newest edition to the long running Fire Emblem serise Radiant Dawn is coming on November 5th, 2007, thats only a week away!

The sersie is a solid AA serise on Gamespot.

Preview form Gametrailers (gameplay footage shown isnt the English version).

This title is clearly overshadowed by other games, but is anyone here hyping it?

Every other console Metroid Prime game has been AAA, and we all know how that turned out.

GS gave PoR a 8.3. I'm sure they could at least give a a 8.0 if not a 8.5....

Other than it doesn't take advantage Wiimote at all? You sheep need to wake up and smell reality. If MP3(wii's best game so far) only got 8.5 for being too much of the same what chance has FE got?

I laugh at that because of how different Prime 3 actually is. lol...

Though I agree that FE:RD could have taken advantage of the Wii in a better way, the Fire Emblem gameplay is still all there. I think the highest it will get is AA. But in the end... FE fans don't care.

I'm totally hyped for it, FE has always been my favorite tactics series next to Super Robot Taisen and Advance Wars. Some people complain about it being way too punishing, but unlike the bland characters of games like FF Tactics, every character is beautifully fleshed out and turned into an individual who you can understand. Unfortunately, this is GS and I forsee an 7.0-7.5 score on account of some unknown factor that GS will point out.

I think the only thing that will put people off, is that it is pretty much a Gamecube port, or so I hear.

OK everyone let's try to use a source that's not biased. Even if Fire Emblem is the best strategy game I ever played, gamespot it's a solid AA series and that's what it'll get.

Honestly, Fire Emblem looks like crap graphically. Hell, I think Path of Radiance looks better. I am not a huge fan of turn based strategy RPG's and I am in the midst of 4 on my DS right now with Front Mission, Age of Empires: Age of Kings, Luminous Arc and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: The Sealed Grimoire (import). FFTA2 is awesome, despite me not being able to read Japanese (translation guides FTW!)

I love the Fire Emblem games immensely, I don't think it needs hyping as such, we all know what to expect- great story and characters,gorgeous music, lavish art and solid gameplay.The game will be fantastic, yet with few or no advances over the previous titleit will likely be criticised for its lack of ambition, but as with Advanced Warsthe formula seems to have been perfected. This game is originally a Gamecube game, so I shall enjoy it very much but my hopes lie with a furture instalment on Wii to mix things up a little.

I will be disappointed if the game receives less than 7.5, I would place it around the 8.0 mark.

It'll get A I'm sure. The visuals aren't really impressive and the game is controlled with the dpad. It'll be a great game, but I doubt it'll get AA.

@ Kratos_Omega, I know we got off the wrong foot back in a day, I may agree with you that this game may not score well and I am upset that it is not taking advantage of the wiimote but the extra features makes up for the loss and here's some features that I found in this link

The game's 45 chapters are unequally divided into four parts. Each chapter features a "leader" character, comparable to the Lord characters in previous games. For example, the leader of Part 1 is Micaiah, and Ike is the leader of most of Parts 3 and 4. Other leaders, such as Elincia, Geoffrey and Tibarn, play minor roles. The 42 returning with 3 inaccessible characters from Path of Radiance, along with 27 new characters equals 72 playable characters.

Radiant Dawn features two types of supports: Buddy supports and Bond supports. Buddy supports (simply called "Supports" in previous games) increase their characters' battle stats dependent on the elemental affinity and support level of both Buddies. Unlike in previous games, characters can be Buddies with any other character, but can only have one Buddy at a time. Characters in Buddy supports will have a short conversation at the beginning of each battle. Bond supports, which also appeared in Path of Radiance, are between two specific characters and are always present.

If a Gamecube memory card with a cleared Path of Radiance save is inserted, data can be transferred from the save file. Path of Radiance characters who have reached close to their maximum power level will receive small statistics boosts in Radiant Dawn. Character weapon ranks will also be transferred if they are higher than the default levels in Radiant Dawn. Transferred A-level supports become Bond supports in Radiant Dawn, and the support conversations unlocked can be read in a support library after the game is completed.

Beorc (human) units can now promote twice, resulting in three tiers of character ****s. Most 1st and 2nd tier ****s are Fire Emblem staples, such as Myrmidons and Swordmasters. 3rd Tier ****s are the strongest of all ****s; the character automatically learns their ****s Occult (ultimate) skill upon promotion. To promote most characters from a 2nd to a 3rd tier **** a Master Crown item must be used.

The laguz from Path of Radiance also return. They can now fight when untransformed, though they are relatively weak in this state. Laguz cannot promote, but they can reach a maximum level of 40 (instead of 20). They learn their Occult skill by using an Enlightenment scroll at Level 30 or above. The number of Laguz species has increased with a new beast known as the wolf.

The game adds a new magic **** Dark Magic, a new weapon, Strike (untransformed laguz attack), and the SS weapon rank, higher than the S of previous games. Knives, which were a Skill in Path of Radiance, now have weapon ranks. With the return of Dark Magic, a second trinity of magic from the GBA Fire Emblem games has been added, which is dark beats anima (wind, thunder, and fire), anima beats light, and light beats dark. Laguz can only wield one Strike weapon, but they can upgrade it by increasing their Strike weapon rank to SS. Skills, except locked skills, can also be removed and transferred as Books. Skill capacities have been modified for beorc due to the new three-****system, and laguz have varying capacities depending on level, with some laguz having 100 capacity at maximum.

The height of the landscape that characters battle in now has a direct effect on gameplay. Characters can climb up to higher levels at certain points. If a character is higher than an enemy, they will have much higher accuracy and deal more damage; conversely, if they are lower they will have much lower accuracy

Besides this game was supposed to come out in GC but was later ported so the developers didn't have time to implement the waggle.

I tend to disagree with this type of rating but I believe it will score in the 7.5, 7.0 area. I say this simply because there seems to be little difference in the in game presentation graphicly from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. As such GS will just chalk it up to a Gamecube port and dock the game by 3 or 4 points.

Glad to hear some people are hyped! I think GS will give it AA though, hopefully, I know they will nit-pick though.

I hear that this game has 45 chapters, didnt the PoR have 20? That means this game should be really long :o

GS will probably give this 7.5 or 8 because its too similar to the GC one. This one doesn't even take advantage of the Wii controller, and I'm dead sure GS is gonna criticize that.

If thats true, then this game will be over 80 hours long considering PoR was about 40 hours....

If it lacks difficulty and still uses the same formula the rest of the series has then I will pass. Hype A.

I think Fire Emblem is a pretty cool series, but I have a feeling this entry won't do so well on GS.

They will criticize: graphics, same game engine, no IR support, no online, etc.

I still think it will be a good game, but I don't expect much more than an 8.0 for it on GS.

This gamewill beawesome, and it's definitely one I am looking foward to and will be getting. Actually, I don't own a Wii so I want be getting it yet, but someone I know has one and I'll be borrowing it to play this. So in that sense, I'm definitely hyping it.

But, judging from the way GS rates games and what the past games in this series got, I'm expecting it to get a 7.5 to 8.5.

The game is pretty similar to past games, but actually does have a lot of new features (as well as some that were in past FE games that never made it to the US) and a bunch of nice optimizations. It's also huge, and has some extra replay incentives. Awesome soundtrack as well.

On the negative side, it uses a version of the same engine that PoR did, and PoR wasn't exactly that good looking. While Radiant Dawn is actually a much better looking game than PoR, a fact that becomes apparent after you see it in motion and compare them side by side, it's still not that great looking of a Wii game. Not now that we have things like MP3 to compare it to. Also, it doesn't use motion controls. While I don't know how the heck a game like FE could properly include those for anything other than picking menu options, the fact that you apparently can't even do that could hurt it some.

Actually, they gave zack and wiki a 9.0 if i remember correctly. It was Battalion Wars 2 that got a 7.5.

But, you're right.. Nintendo power gets alot of crap for being a nintendo magazine, but they're reviews really are not that bad at all.

To the guy who originally quoted me. I wasn't providing NP's review as evidence towards FE kicking gamespots arse.. in fact i went on to say that i wasn't expecting much from Gamespot. I posted the review because this is a fire emblem thread, hence it is worth mentioning.. just like other "Hype" threads that talk about all sorts of reviews.

It doesn't use the wiimote... neither the online (I know it doesn't need to) and could run on GC. Seems like a GC game to me too.

I have never been a fan of turn based fighting systems. But Mario will be out a week later and I think that is the problem this game is being over looked badly.

After IGN review I have a feeling that this game is not going to be as great as some people thought.
