Breath of Fire

"Flames are burning bright for Breath of Fire!"

I'd like to thank Capcom for re-making one of the best RPG's ever on the classic SNES.The game is called Breath of Fire and it is the one that started it all.Ryu and his companions are back, but on a Game Boy Advance!There are new additions to this great RPG.You should read this review, wait you are reading it!So skip this and go to my review!I don't know if it will make you interesting in it but at least I tried.^_^;;

Story:[10/10]-Ah, such a great story.The evil Emperor Zog is back and so Ryu!As a young warrior and descendant to the Light Dragon Clan, Ryu must save the world from the Dark Dragon Clan, and the evil Zog.This is one of those stories for RPG's that make you say ''Wow!We're gonna save the world!'' stuff like that.Truly a great story.

Graphics:[10/10]-Perfect, just perfect!The graphics for this game are just amazing, especially on a handheld.The graphics makes you get hooked onto the game.All the bright colors while casting magical spells.I think this is one of the best graphics on the GBA I have ever seen next to Golden Sun.Gotta love those Dragon Transformations!

Controls:[10/10]-FINNALY!Some changes!In the SNES, you can only walk which makes it so boring and slow.But not, by pressing the B button or the Auto-Run, you can run faster than ever!Great controls for a handheld RPG.The A is used to talk to people or use items.The B button lets you run or cancel things.The Select button activates the menu, the R and L button can be used in the battle.Don't forget about the start button!It can be used to open up a map, if you find it that is.

Sound:[8/10]-Here is the down part of the game.I could hear only a tiny bit of the music.I ain't deaf or anything but to hear the sounds, you have to wear headphones to hear it clearly.Other than the sound, the game is still great.

Re-playability:[10/10]-Yeah!you can play this game over and over again if you want to.It will keep you hooked until you finnaly get unhooked and get hooked onto another game.

Buy or Rent?:You should definitely buy this game.But if you want to try it, you can rent it but I surely suggest you buy it.You won't be sorry.This is one of the best RPG's out there!So go on buy it but if for some reason you can't buy it, then rent it, but I don't think you would be able to beat it unless they give you 2 weeks until the due date.

Overall:[9/10]-I gave it a 9 because of the sound.It definitely took off one point off the overall.
