 freezing bugs -- buyer beware January 4, 2009
techmannn (New York, NY United States)
I was enjoying this game quite a bit since I like turn-based combat games. After about 12 hours in, the game froze during a cutscene. So I googled and there's many posts about the issue, and there's no patch or fix. You can hit the start button to bypass cutscenes but that doesnt guarantee that the cutscene wont freeze. So I played some more and the game froze again in the same way. My 360 plays everything else without a hitch and the disk is scratch free. So, just be aware before you buy there's a very annoying freezing bug. Since you cant save before a cutscene and some of the more important battles last 30 minutes or more, this was a deal-breaker for me and the game went in the "sell back used" pile.

The game has a fairly steep learning curve, and can be pretty difficult at times. However I am a big fan of strategy RPG's, and this game does deliver on that front. Not a great game, but not a total letdown either. The price has dropped for this game since I ordered it, and I feel it is probably worth the $19.95 they are asking for it now if you like strategy RPG's.

COMBAT SYSTEM BROKEN.
YOUR TOUGHEST GUYS WITH THE BEST EQUIPENT, HIGHEST LEVEL, CAN FALL TO ENEMIES
JUST AS EASILY AS A PUNY MAGE OR CLERIC.
THIS GAME WILL DEFY LOGIC TIME AFTER TIME.
FRUSTRATING GRINDING THAT IS ULTIMATLEY POINTLESS.
WATCH AS THE FEW LEVELS YOU GET FROM HOURS OF HARD WORK ARE PAID OFF
WITH MEAGER GOLD AMOUNTS AND TRULY USELESS OVERPRICED WEAPON UPGRADES.
BE AMAZED AS YOUR SUCCESS IS DICTATED BY RANDOM CHANCE AND NO STRATEGY IN SIGHT!
LEVEL YOUR CHARACTERS ALL YOU WANT ONLY TO BE EMBARRASSED AS YOUR STRONGEST
'TANK' GETS CUT DOWN BY LOWER-LEVEL 'SCRUB' ENEMIES.
AFTER PICKING UP 'FIRE EMBLEM: RADIANT DAWN' FOR THE WII,
I REALIZED HOW ATROCIOUS THIS GAME REALLY IS, FOR A STRAT-RPG.
THERE'S A GOOD RPG HERE, BUT IT'S BURIED SO FAR UNDER BROKEN FUNDAMENTAL MECHANICS
THAT ONLY A HARDCORE RPG'ER OR ATLUS FAN NEED BOTHER.
