Breath of Fire by Capcom for the Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Micro and Nintendo DS. This is yet another port from the SNES to the GBA system. Breath of fire is one of the lesser-known RPG’s that turned out to be really good.

You start out as a young teen and your town is under attack from the DARK dragons.

Your older sister sacrifices herself to save you and the town. Thus starts your quest for revenge. You meet up with a Princess, a Thief, a Bad Merchant, a Wolfen-Hunter, a Mole person, the Brute Ox, and a Sorceress. All of them have talents you will need to get your revenge. Be prepared for a 20 hour-long quest.

Graphics 7/10 – For a GBA based game the graphics are good. There are some movie-like full motion videos.

Music 5/10 – Same as the SNES version, Capcom could have updated it.

Gameplay 9/10 – Fun and addictive, some of the mini-games like fishing, digging, and hunting were lots of fun.

Battle System 6/10 – The same turn based system we all know and love, with the addition of being able to turn into a dragon and morph into a mix of the people on your team. The magic system is earned in levels and by finding the spells.

Overall 7/10 - The game was fun and kept me entertained until the very end.

My only complaint is that they could have updated the story and the music a bit. Burn Baby Burn!
