    The game isn't very good, and it's a shame because it's a Square Enix game. Not only is the game ugly, but the sound quality isn't very good ether. The music was composed by many different people, which sometimes makes the music style inconstant. The story is meh with some bland characters. It does have some interesting mechanics though, such as Edward being able to turn objects intoThe game isn't very good, and it's a shame because it's a Square Enix game.

    It was okay, but anime games in japan are the equivalent of movie games here. nothing special, mostly bad, but most gamers stateside can't tell the difference.

    I love this game! though i am a real super SUPER big fan of the show, i loved the game. it was over a little quickly, and its ending wasnt great, but i remain loyal to the game and the series! (also i welcome e-mails to me on the subject)

    The Game Revolution review sums it up: this game is for series fans only. Very bland and stale, and even the characters seem to know it, cracking wise about how much more they can take of the whole thing. Frankly, they got the easier part: it was all I could do to bring myself to actually finish it, and I derived very little pleasure from it all.

    All I can say that this is just your normal average game. You should reconsider before getting it. The huge fan of FMA mike like it. The game is rather short though. And its like a half way play till central.

    This is the best game I have ever played it rocked!! It was pretty easy at some points but at others I thought it was really really challenging everyone should get this game. Well it wasnt as good as what I was expecting but it was still nice.

    Though long it's entertaining, I have already played the game untill the end, but when the credits finish, there's a black screen showing nothing but a neverending melody, would somebody say if THAT'S the true finish of the game or there's still more? If you see my e-mail, contact me so I get informed too.

    Considero a la primera adaptación de Fullmetal Alchemist la serie que me salvo, no soy muy dado a ver anime pero este me maravillo, eso fue en el 2010, ya conocía de la existencia de esta serie al igual que la de este juego. Cuando termine la serie, quería jugar a los juegos de la misma, concretamente las entregas de ps2 y gracias a medios que no voy a comentar al fin he podido pasarme el primero de estos. He disfrutado mucho este juego, es un Kingdom hearts Wanna be pero con más carencias, la historia es disfrutable y la jugabilidad consiste en avanzar por distintos escenarios matando enemigos y la verdad es que no pedía más. Aún así tengo que decir que es un juego para periodos cortos pues si estás mucho con este juego al final se te hará repetitivo.    … Expand

    One of the most salient problems with Full Metal Alchemist is the amount of repetition. After you get bored of the alchemy the game boils down to eliminate the enemies and move into the next room and repeat for the duration of gameplay.

    Given its short play time, easy challenge, and straightforward nature, The Broken Angel could definitely occupy you for a weekend or so, but I'm not so sure that you'd ever go back to it.
