Hey Listen! This is Skull Reviews for March 8th 2013.

The Fire Emblem series is back with the first instalment in full 3D. This game shows what the 3DS can handle even if its not the most powerful handheld out there.

Graphics: While the graphics have been majorly increased from past games it still shows the same style as the other games. When you are in the grid based battle layout the characters are sprites and the landscapes are very basic but it fits the series. The 3D characters looked a bit choppy when not moving. The cut scenes are gorgeous and pre rendered so they can look the best they could.

Music: There really isn't much to say about the music in the game but it is amazing but gets a little repetitive after a while.

Voice Acting: Knowing Nintendo and voice acting they get the best possible person in the world to play that character. Most of the time you get the text instead of voice acting where you hear stuff like "Ugh" "What?" "Who?" "How?" "Hmm" so there is not much but text for most of this game.

Story: The story of the game is quite predictable with some things you aren't expecting. It is a very emotional game where you can feel how the characters react to anything. Basically the kingdom gets attack you defend people die you get the Fire Emblem and defend the kingdom again.

Gameplay: You kill the enemies to win the game. You move around on a grid based land scape only being able to move a certain amount of grids each time making this be a tough strategy game. Once you get close enough to an enemy you can attack and deal damage to them but they do damage back. If one of your people die during battle they are dead for good so you can never use them again. You do get a choice to let them die or be revived at the start of the game.
