Reception
The Fire Emblem games have scored well in the media — Fire Emblem was awarded 9.5 by IGN in 2003. On Game Rankings, Fire Emblem averages 88%, The Sacred Stones averages 85%, Path of Radiance averages 86%, and Radiant Dawn averages 78%. Critics have welcomed the character development and plotlines but have criticized the limited multiplayer options. A common criticism of the series' GameCube and Wii titles is that their 3D graphics are lacking compared to many other console titles.
In 2006, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo appeared in Famitsu's Top 100 Games list, where it is number 68. Radiant Dawn was the highest selling Wii game of the week ending February 25, 2007, with 73,359 sales in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
