    Intelligent Systems is one of the greatest developers in the world. They definitely have one of the greatest track records, in the Wars series (Famicom Wars, Advance Wars), the Paper Mario series, and the Fire Emblem series. If you go by the critical reception of these games, there’s not a single poor game among them, and the ones I have played have certainly lived up to their reputation. The Sacred Stones is another entry in the long-running Fire Emblem series (I... Read more

    Speak of Fire Emblem and you will most likely get two looks; one of awed recognition (one that you will also get when you see zealots talking about the God or geeks expounding on their latest PC rigs) while the other one is of quizzical interest. Jason Woo explores the land of Magvel in this latest handheld epic. Read more

    This is a good strategy game and while it has some improvements over the previous Fire Emblem it just doesn't hit the spot. If you have already completed the other Fire Emblem and both Advance Wars then this might be worth a look if you find it cheap on import but come its official release in Europe later this year you might be better off looking towards Advance Wars: Dual Strike or Fire Emblem: Path to Radiance.

    takes place on the Isle of Magvel with five countries built around the sacred stones used in ancient times to seal away the demon king. The five nations of Rausten, Grado, Frelia, Jehanna and Renais along with the upstart merchant nation of Carcino make up the entire world for this installment. The power of the stones has kept a harmonious balance and peace has reigned. However, as the game begins the kingdom of Grado has suddenly decided to invade neighboring Renais.... Read more

    The controls are pretty easy and the learning curve for this game will be automatic because in easy the game itself guides you throughout the missions and there are no special moves this game has pretty reasonable controls. Read more

  1. Simply the best story telling on GBA

    May 26, 2005 - What really make Fire Emblem stand from the crowd is the indeep storyline and how the game create emotional bound to the character. Few games achieve this. Secondary character even has personality and you really fear loosing them in battle. You will want to level up a character not for is utility but simply because how cool he look and behave in the story. That in my view is what make Fire Emblem way better than other. Sacred Stone achieves the game... Read more
