Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance
The long anticipated strategy RPG series finally came to America with this entry on the Nintendo Gamecube. Path Of Radiance and its sequel are the only two Fire Emblems on the consoles while Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon were on the handhelds.
On the continent of Tellius, the nation of Daein abruptly declares war on Crimea, causing a major war. You control the hero Ike, a young boy who takes command of a mercenary group. Now onto the review!

Sound: 5/5
The quality of the voice actors were better than what you would expect of a RPG. I liked how they got the animal sounds right .
Replay value: 5/5
The opportunity to unlock more characters for the trial maps is astounding. Plus the chance to use transfer data for Radiant Dawn for bonuses.

Challenge: 5/5
The further in the game you get, the harder it gets. In fact, the hard on the english version is the japanese Maniac mode.
