Anyone try this game yet? Gamespot rips it for being to hard and give it a 6 but IGN raves about it and gives it an 8.

Do any of you have any first hand experience?

The game does take some time getting used to and is a bit ugly. Why not try renting it to see how you like it rather than rely on magazine scores?

I've enjoyed every fire emblem game I've played. I've noticed that a lot of sites/magazines tend to call every game that is somewhat challenging "too hard".

The series is fantastic. There are 3 other games that you can try if you're not familiar with the series.

If you ARE familiar with the series, theres no question. Get it.

Well the game *is* hard if you are an RPG perfectionist like myself. The problem is that once a character dies, he is dead for good. No coming back for battles, and, worse, no more story involving that character. So when I make the slightest miscalculation or the AI happens to roll a critical hit then I'm stuck resetting and doing that level all over again. There are a couple of stages that are extremely annoying because you have to play to virtual perfection AND get lucky if you haven't leveled up a certain weak character enough previously.

However, the is also very engaging and I never sat it down until it came time for finals and I *had* to use that time otherwise. If you're a fan of the series you should enjoy it, but be prepared for the desire to chuck the Wii-mote through the television.

I love this game, but I haven't gotten a chance to finish it. You really should play the previous Fire Emblem for the Gamecube before this one. It's very similar and you enjoy the characters a lot more.

For a game that's an RPG and a Strategy game, I give it two thumbs up!
Fire Emblem FTW!
