I finally got around to making another review. This time, it will be Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. I am a huge fan of the Fire Emblem series and FE : SS is definitely my favorite of all Fire Emblem games. Now, without further ado, here is my review:

Graphics: The graphics aren't anything special by any means, but they're not terrible either. I'd say they're above average in my opinion. Considering this game was released in 2005, you shouldn't expect the graphics to blow you away, anyway. My rating: 7/10.

Sound: The music in FE : SS is excellent. As I mentioned in my previous review, I usually keep the sound off when I play games. I don't mind having the sound on for this one, however. I love the dramatic battle music. There are 69 total soundtracks on this game. My personal favorites are Determination and Combat Preparation. My rating: 10/10.

Addictiveness: There are so many different ways you can play this game. You can try and finish chapters in the fewest amount of turns as possible, or you can take your time and defeat every enemy on every chapter, which is what I usually do. If a character dies, you can let it go for an even bigger challenge or restart the chapter so you don't lose the character. I always restart when one of my character dies, I just hate letting them die because of one of my miscalculations. Also, you can try to finish the main story without promoting your units to higher classes. However, if you really want a challenge, you can even try to beat the game with only one character. It's a lot of fun trying to beat the game using all the different methods. My rating: 10/10.

Story: I won't get too in depth here, as to avoid spoiling anything for those of you who haven't played the game before. The story is definitely intriguing, with several plot twists. In fact, each character in the game has their own back story. Intelligent Systems did a very nice job of developing each character to have different personalities. My rating: 10/10.

Depth: While there is a fairly low amount of chapters, it does take a decent amount of preparation for each one if you want to get the most out of them. Once you reach a certain point in the game, the main characters, Ephraim and Eirika go on separate paths and you'll have to choose which one you will accompany. Each route has several different chapters, although they do meet up again eventually. Also, after you complete the main story, you'll be able to start the Creature Campaign. During the Creature Campaign, you'll be able to unlock characters that you previously encountered during the main story. You'll also be able to buy almost any weapon in the game. Stat boosting items will also be available to purchase, so if you wish you can continue training your characters to max out their stats. My rating: 9/10.

Difficulty: At the beginning, you will be able to choose between three difficulties: Easy, Normal, and Hard. As I previously mentioned, you can also impose restrictions on yourself to make the game even more challenging. If you play on the normal difficulty, it won't be too difficult, but you will undoubtedly have to restart chapters a number of times if you don't want to lose units. Some chapters are more difficult and time consuming than others; like I said, it does take time to prepare and plan for each chapter. You can't just run though each chapter like it's nothing. You'll need proper execution of your plan to get the most out of each chapter. My rating: 7/10.

Overall, I really enjoy this game. It's definitely one of the best tactical role-playing games out there. I would highly recommend Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones to anyone, especially if you are a fan of RPGs. Final rating: 9.7/10.

This is a very well made review. The wording is pretty good, so is the spacing. The review was a bit short, although you did get your point across, which is really good. Overall, this is a very well made review, although making it bigger would be nice.

On to the game though, I love the Fire Emblem series, and while this isn't my favorite game of the series, it's probably in the top 5 games in the series. This game was incredibly easy, and I even in hard and giving my self some challenges like "only fighting enemies that are needed to win the chapter" or something along those lines. Good game, just not perfect.
