One of the most well-crafted RPGs we've seen. If you are into RPGs at all, run out and pick Fire Emblem up right now! [Spring 2004, p.28]

Everywhere you look, this game screams cheap. The weak A.I., the stale graphics, the password-save system, the fact that you can complete the entire thing in under an hour... It's no wonder this game hit the bargain bin the day it came out. [Spring 2004, p.45]

Potter fans may like the game because it lets them experience Quidditch first hand, but this isn't the kind of sport you play for hours on end. [Spring 2004, p.42]
