I had a lot of fun with this game! I loved the music, the graphics, the story. I was able to figure out the controls pretty quick, Wish Al was more cooperative. Only con for me is I had it beat in 20 hours.

This game is ok it had a good plot to it and a good basis for the battles, but just wasnt my type of game I would of perferred the battles to be more turn based instead of live action. It wasnt a game id name a classic but maybe itll be different for you.

gameplay -- no marks, story -- no marks.

Really, am I the only one who felt that the game had severe storyline issues on top of the terrible mechanics? The plot itself was bizarre and incoherant, and the additional characters they added to make it run were completely flat and uninteresting, even by video game standards. One in particular -- whose name I shall not name out of respect for spoilers -- was enough in one package to flush out any interest I might have had for the story. As a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist, I hated this game. As a fan of fighting and roleplaying games, I hated this game. As an excuse to waste a few days laughing at the dialogue and the general WTFness of some of the scenes, I admit that it had its moments... but not enough to justify buying it.

cool

First off, I should note that if you do not want to know about the story line you should skip this review entirely. I like to be specific and give information but do not worry; I will not give away the big surprises.

First, this game has an amazing story line. Second, the game has a terrific combat system. Also, the characters are very interesting in many different ways.

The story for the series and the game revolves around the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, who are looking for the philosophers stone to remove the effects of an alchemy experiment gone wrong. However, the game does not start at the beginning of the series.

The game starts on a train that is attacked by a band of ex-military alchemists. Then a ruthless senior colonel derails the train. Next, the Elric brothers come to the town of Hiessgart where the famous alchemist, Professor Eiselstein lives. The brothers have visited him several years before and discover that the town has been taken over by viscous beasts. At the town church, they meet the pastor. He informs them that Professor Eiselstein and the town's people have constructed the town of New Hangueist.

In New Hiessgart, they meet a girl named Armony who they later discover is living with Professor Eiselstein. She tells them that the Professor is living in a castle in New Hiessgart. After they arrive at the castle a series of mysterious events takes place that leave questions that must be answered.

The game has an exciting story line with interesting characters that really makes it terrific. The game is filled with interesting realistic conversations that help you solve mysteries and raise new ones.

I just got this the other day and it's probably the best I've even seen, and this is coming from a long time IY fan I even have the Cursed mask game (beat it in 4 days and two hours) But it hardly compares to this, I love it, even if I do like IY more, but IY anf FMA are pretty much tied. I was excited when I heard about the game, about two days after I found about the anime and four days after I started reading the Manga. The game is exactly what I cut it out to be and more. I've only just started considering school and all but I'm 20 minutes in and it's already my favorite game. Five stars, sixty billion thumbs up and ten toes. Beat that Spence. I reccommend this game to any and all, as long as you follow the age lines though. (I don't but it's ok.)

Amazing Game!

More for you hack and slash hack and slash people. It's not like there's no strategy in it though. Alchemy is needed is various places, and it's always useful to know how to beat a boss character without losing 10's of elixers.
The storyline in itself is awesome. If you're not into the game within the first hour or so, you probably won't like the rest of it. The only thing I might warn you about is the cave. If you're hating the game because of the cave (you'll see what I'm talking about later) don't quit. This place was the most frustrating place out of the whole game for me, so don't feel bad if you need a loooooong break when you're stuck inside it.
The gripes I have about the game though... It was a bit too short. It took me 12 hours to finish the whole game. Of course, I probably skipped 100's of treasures, and I got horrible alchemist levels...
The storyline more than makes up for it though. If you don't at least feel like crying at the end of the game... were you watching the whole time?

Overall this was an awesome awewsome game that everyone who's a FMA fan and everyone who just wants an amazing game to play, that doesn't involve incredulous amounts of strategy.
...Keep in mind that this game is rated T for Teen for language and suggestive themes among other things. Emphasis on the suggestive themes on one of the costumes one of the people wear.

Alchemy!

I love the voice overs! I think it's great they kept the same voices from the Anime.
*cough*
Well anyway, this game is pretty fun. It's impressive how you can focus a park bench into like... a javelin or something. That's one of the main things that gives the game it's edge.

It's real time battling can be pretty intense. You could be surrounded by multiple enemies and beaten to a pulp in no time.
The story line is so-so from what I played (I haven't finished it yet). I wish they would make that more interesting. I mean, that's what give me the motivation to actually PLAY the game.

One thing I didn't like was it was too easy to get stuck. The dungeons were confusing; you could take a million turns and STILL not get there yet. Another was you simply don't know where to go next.

I'm going to have to read a walkthrough for this game... but I'll finish this game someday.

Full Metal Alchemist Broken Angel is not as bad as you would think...

Well I was having my doubts about getting this game, because I noticed a lot people did give some bad reviews on it, that it was just plain awful...But in my opinion I thought of this game as rather interesting and entertaining. I believed it had a good and touching story behind it, and all the written dialogue given in it, makes it even more entertaining. I beat this game today, so I thought it would be reasonable to leave this review now.

All can say is if you are fan of Full Metal Alchemist, then this game should be a must for you. It doesn't follow off the anime series, but it has just as much action in it, as does the series. The only CON I would see in this game, is some of boss fighting is a little repetive (sp? repeating), but other then that...Nothing else. The graphics were exceptal to me. The animation clips were awesome, which was one of my favorite things to see in the game. And overall of beating it, I enjoyed it very much. 5 Stars up! I now noticed I can't take all reviews answers from it, so if you are one of those edgy people that has doubts like me, my best advice would be either to buy it or rent it. Luckily I wasn't disappointed when I bought this game, so I kept it. :)
