Final Fantasy Tactics Advance really is full of surprises. To be honest, I HATE both Final Fantasy games and Strategy games. But this game kind of changed it all. I am also writing a review, something I've never done before. So, like other standard reviews, let's talk about the game...

GRAPHICS: 8

The graphics are pretty much the same as the other GBA games. But they did a good job with the graphics, yes indeed. The weapons are all given their own different, unique designs. The animation from attacks are different from each other and it really is fun to try out the different attacks just for the sake of seeing the animation (or colours, depending on your age and maturity...). All in all, the graphics deserve and 8.

SOUND: 8

Yay sounds. Don't you just love repetitive music, disturbing you concentration every other minute, while you're planning how to get your allies to stay alive for the rest of the battle? The music was kind of distracting for me, but it was...what's that word? Catchy? Suitable? Let's go with suitable. The music was kind of suitable. It gives the feel of really being on a quest to rescue your friends from the madness of being in someone's dream. The music changes a bit in battle, so you can imagine the fight in your head, albeit with an invisible orchestra. The sounds of the battle, such as the clash of swords and the explosion of magic were perfectly chosen. I'd give another 8 for this.

ADDICTIVENESS: 9

I kept stopping while I was playing the game. So why the high addictiveness rating, you might ask? I kept playing it again. Considering I hate strategy and Final Fantasy games to begin with, this game really is addicting. 9 is the score, and I won't change it. I might pick this game up from beneath the metaphorical bed, and blow the metaphorical dust from it and play it again in a few more years...

STORY: 9

Almost forgot the most important thing: The Story. What's a good game without a good story? *Spoiler* You get transported to your new friend's dream and have to build up a strong clan to get yourself out of this poop load of a mess. As an added bonus, you compete with other clans to get fame and etc. Although the story might be a bit overused, it was OK to me since there were tons of plot twists.

DEPTH: 9

So, with many hidden jobs/ classes, weapons and bonuses, why wouldn't I rate the depth a 9? I'll most probably replay the whole game again to unlock the secret missions and jobs. The jobs were the main reason I gave this a 9. Around 35+ different type of classes, and around 10 attacks for each job, do the maths and you get a deep (?) game, good enough for a strategy game.

DIFFICULTY: 7

A strategy game has to be difficult, or it won't be any fun. You're attacks may miss or you may become a frog, get blinded so you miss even more or just plain unlucky to be critically hit. You might want to quit every 5 minutes, but that's all part of the game, right?

OVERALL: 10

All in all, this is one of the best games ever. You, the reader of this review right now, should probably give it a shot. A research from the International University of Me shows that 95% of people who start this game will play it till the end. Even if you think you'll hate it, you should play it. Because, after all, this game is something TOTALLY different...

Firstly, I'll commend you for dividing up your review into sections. I also congratulate you on giving a fair bit of detail for each section. However, it could definitely see some expansion. For example, more sections, more detail, or (preferably) both.

Otherwise, though, good job, and keep it up.

Great job on your first review!

You made it easy to read to through, and you were concise in your descriptions. I think of that as a positive thing. You can go for lengthier reviews, but I wouldn't give up the level of readability you have now if you do. All in all, a review well done.

I feel like you put forward a good effort, and I hope to see you review more games in the future.

Dang. This wasn't too shabby. Only thing I would recommend adding for sure is why the game was so addictive for you. This is otherwise nice to read because it wasn't too long.
Keep it up, okay?

Wow, good job man! Although some people would call it a bit on the short side, everything you said made sense and wasn't repetitive. You told about some things in general but also some detailed things. And your writing style did come out well. I'd like to see your next review

steel_attacker : You're welcome WatchMojo also said this one of the 10 best GBA games, which I really found cool to hear ^^
Take your time to think about a new game and a review, or make one of the latest game you played.

This review is fairly well done, I do not have a major complaints about it. You obviously put a lot of hard work and detail into everything and I can appreciate that. I can not wait to see how you do on your next review because although there may be some small errors you do well at this.
