Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.

4 out of 5 stars
****

Shadow Dragon is a DS remake of the original Fire Emblem game. It is the story of how Prince Marth frees his land from the forces of an evil lord of darkness. SD is very strategic and is incredibly difficult. It is very punishing in the way that when someone is killed they are gone never to come back. As you progress you gain units and lose them. Try to think about your movements very much as one bad move can affect a whole battle. The gameplay in SD is simple and fun but once you get into the game it gets to a point where you are forced to think hard about everything.
