I expect an 8.0 here from GS too, possibly a 7.5 or 8.5 instead. The 8.0 is about what I expected it to get from IGN too.
But I'm not a fan of the way that review was written. It didn't really provide much info about the game that you couldn't tell from looking at screenshots, and it left out some pretty big stuff, including the fact that there actually are some new gameplay features in the game. Such as battle saves on some difficulties, which is a huge change for the series in the US.Overall, I've found most previews written about the game to be a bit more informative than the review.
And I still wonder why he thought Mii integration would be a good thing, or what this DS version of Fire Emblem is that he claims exists. Ah well.
Oh, and this is just a pet peeve of mine, but please people, not every game HAS to have online. If the game by your own admission lasts 50 hours and has replay value, that's enough lasting appeal to get a at least a 9.0 in that category, I think. Bah.
