As the Fire Emblem franchise approaches its 18th birthday what better way to celebrate than to release a fresh outlook for the Nintendo Wii! Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is the 10th instalment in the fire emblem scrapbook and is unquestionably the best!
In case you don't know the history of this gaming gem, Fire Emblem began in the 1990's with the release of Fire Emblem 1 on the NES. This tactical role-playing experience has developed through Nintendo's history into a true prize in the Wii's already extensive treasure chest. Created by the same team which brought us Advanced Wars, Fire Emblem follows suit in the strategic gameplay style. However, in my opinion, with a more broad character development setup than in any game I have ever played, Fire emblem surpasses her sister game in almost every aspect.
However, onto what you're all here for. As always in Fire Emblem games, Radiant Dawn takes place in the medieval period. Following from the Gamecube great `Path of Radiance,' Radiant Dawn tracks the tale of two intertwining characters from the previous game.
Three years on from the defeat of "Mad King Ashnard" Tellius has once again erupted in war. Firstly, we take control of the `Dawn Brigade' led by the mysterious Micaiah and Sothe as they fight for the Daein liberation army, objectively, trying to release Daein from Begnion repression. Meanwhile, a battle between the Laguz (people who have the characteristics of animals) alliance and the Begnion army is about to cover the continent in war. Thankfully, this half is once again controlled by the `Greil Mercenaries' who were the basis of the original outing. Fundamentally, these characters meet in various points until they merge towards the end of the game.
I don't want to go very in depth with the plot so much so that I spoil the story for you, but this is basically the information we are given from the opening game sequence. However, what I will say is that this game features one of the most enjoyable and intense storylines of any game I've ever played!
One thing I should mention is that this is game extremely hard. Luckily, it includes three difficulty settings - Easy, Medium and Hard. If you're new to the series I would recommend starting out on easy because it incorporates a tutorial mode as you play. But once you understand the basics everything falls into place easily.
"Why is this game value for money?" you ask yourself. Well along with a healthy 42 chapters to accomplish this game takes the average gamer well over 4 0 hours to complete on the medium setting. As I've only just started my outing on hard, I can't say exactly how long it takes to complete in this mode, but judging by the medium mode I would think it takes roughly 50 hours+. Additionally, this game has brilliant replay value. Once you have completed it once you want play it through again to train characters you couldn't do the first time round.
As well as this, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn allows you to transfer data from the pre-instalment `Path of Radiance.' This means that statistics, items, coins and support conversations are transmitted to the Wii to give you subtle advantages during the game.
The gameplay mechanics follow a turn-based tactical role, where you manage a group of characters through a map grid in order to defeat the enemy and ultimately complete the chapter objective.
"Why should I buy this game?" you ask yourself. This game is a true example of the Wii's capabilities exercised to the limit. Much like the previous games, long plot developments occur after every successful chapter. However, new to the Wii counterpart, there are brilliant full-motion-video cut scenes that separate key chapters. If you played `Path of Radiance' this is an indispensable buy. If you haven't played the prologue game to this then don't worry, at the start of this one we are introduced to the characters again and we receive background information on every character.
Please buy this game and sent it to where it belongs: the top of the charts! This game includes all the originality and flair that any good game must have and is most definitely the best RPG/Strategy game on the Wii so far. Well worth the money, go for it!!!
