Hey, I'm the kind that freaks out over getting a 95. I don't settle for anything less than perfect, either.

Well, then you're *CEN-2.0-SORD* outta luck.

Have a good time getting a girlfriend D:

Oh, I will.

You missed my poorly-laid sarcasm.

No, I don't think I did, actually.

Ah well.
I'm still no getting this game.

WHAT! They gave my second most wanted Wii game of the year a 8.0! What was going through their minds when writing the review. I'm so mad right now that I don't know what to do. Well, better get back to waiting until November 7th(Canadian Release Date).

You know, an 8 is still a pretty good score. And just for being a hard-core Fire Emblem fan, you could add a point to that score and that is how much you will probably enjoy the game.

Unless you, like IGN, wanted some more Wii features (like online play) in the game.

No, I didn't. I knew what I was going to get into before this review, and I didn't think -- nor do I think now -- that FE needs to be drastically changed.

I agree. I was getting it before this review and I also think that the series shouldn't be drastically changed. The series is great the way it is!

Wow, for one thing you said it yourself an 8.0 is a good score. Honestly they criticized the game for the exact same reasons I see to be critical about.

Yeah it is the classic style and yeah people say don't fix what isn't broken but to me that is stupid. If you want to still play the older versions you always can!! With the newer ones though they should try new things! What if people in the middle ages never came out of it because they never started questioning things in the renaissance? What if the car was never invented because the horse and buggy still worked?

Well nowadays you can ride in a horse and buggy if you want to for fun through the park but a car is the fastest thing most people can own and by far superior now.

Not to mention what about the wiimote? That was criticized for changing the old controller, but guess what, it is destroying sony and definitely going to be at war with the 360 for some time now. The hardware is selling better, but the software isn't, perhaps the wii needs more than what made the DS a success.

So fire emblem could use a bit of an upgrade. Big deal. Nintendo just needs to consider this for the next game and they aren't going to unless they hear it from reviewers like this.

Yes, an 8.0 is a good score. No arguing there.[/]b

Wait a minute. THEY DID TRY NEWER THINGS. Did you ever see the new terrain system? Depending on the altitude of your character, say, an archer, the damage you inflict might be less or more than on even terrain. If this is not a fantastic new strategic element, I don't know what is. This new gameplay mechanic was not mentioned in IGN's review. How do I know they played more than the first chapter?

What reviewers fail to see is what is REALLY maturing in Fire Emblem... the story.

Pray take a look at the majority of the Wii's games. Casual shovelware. Do I want my Fire Emblem turn casual? Uhm... no.

What kind of upgrade? Tell me if you have any ideas. Because, frankly, after the innovative and new terrain system, I don't know what they could do with the series other than make it an RTS.

Which would be "meh".

My answers are bolded.

Got the game yet, Bul?

No, though I have a feeling I might get it today. The guy said "Tuesday at the latest", so I dunno. Probably Monday.

People shouldn't always assume a Wii game has to use all of the Wii's features. Saying that a lack of motion controls is a negative thing doesn't make any sense. Not everything works better with motion controls. In fact, a lot of things probably work worse.

Exactly. Fire Emblem has very small grids, and I can easily see how it would get annoying pointing at them, and then missing occasionally, etc... It would be a frustrating experience. And, you know what? If they had motion controls, the game would be criticized for having frustrating motion controls.

It's just how things work when people review Wii games, sadly. :\

Actually I don't want FE to become casual I was actually saying that Nintendo has to stop with these minigame things like they had on the DS for a year before anything good really came out.... not unlike what seemed to have happened to the Wii this year.... strange but if the trend continues like it did for the DS good games will come and it will rock the other systems.... I was really saying I don't like the majority of the software on the wii right now. It has a few gems in a pile of crap and mediocre titles.

With the new terrain stuff, yes that is good but forest and many other pieces of land already gave bonuses to certain things, so this just adds more strategy and it is great that they do but it isn't really a breakthrough.

some upgrade ideas include actual 3-d characters in the talking scenes, perhaps a combat system that puts the critical strikes in the players hands (though I suppose with this I mean something like in super mario RPG where you can hit a at the right time to deal a double blow or dodge/block a hit, and luck could help increase the period you can hit the button or something.) I would actually like to see the possibility of changing the story as you go thorough it to, like perhaps you could start working for the enemy and take over a kingdom or something. I don't know though, I just think there are things that could be done even if I can't think of many.

Look at it like this. You and the IGN Team obviously have different ideas about the game, but that's no reason to go flip out at them. You thought that one VC game sucked, when Retronauts thought people should buy it.

If it's really is that big of a deal, get your opinion out there.

And you're arguing over an 8.0? WTH?
