Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: Advance Wars 2--a sequel to possibly the best game ever for the Game Boy Advance--is finally here; it's exactly the same as it was before, and for once that's a really good thing.
A turn-based strategy game of the type that PC owners regularly use to send their children to sleep, Advance Wars 2 should by rights be just as dull; but a combination of slick presentation and an insistence on keeping the rules simple and the unit types and map sizes to a minimum means it's actually one of the most insanely addictive games since Tetris. Manipulating armies of tanks, battleships and air-force bombers has never been so much fun.
As noted, there's nothing very different about this sequel except for a few new enemy-fixed gun emplacements and one new unit, the slightly dull neotank. Perhaps the most significant change is that the COs (the commanding officers who act as personification of either side in the battle) now have two levels of special ability, which ups the tactical considerations of the game a notch.
The full-featured map designer is also maintained from the previous iteration, as is the facility for two players to compete against each other using the same console and cartridge, or for four to gang up using a Game Link cable. It is, in short, one of the best things ever. --David Jenkins

Advance Wars 2 sounded like a good game so i bought it off amazon. I got it and was instantly chucked into a deep hole of addiction and compulsion. First off the friendly, no blood, cartoony graphics welcome you the advance wars world and the visual effects are simple but they do the job perfectly. Each C.O. (commanding officer) has their own soundtrack which is different to listening to the same old same old. The gun sounds and explosions are pretty sweet and there is even more music choice when you get a Super C.O. power of a normal C.O. power. Right now the best part of the game; the addictive gameplay. At first advance wars may seem steppy and quite difficult but once you have fought about 5 campaign battles you'll be soon on your way to ... Read More:

For those who like games other than frantic shoot em ups, this is a perfect turn based game for those who aren't in a hurry to finish the game. Addictive isn't the word - i've been so hooked on this for over a year and played nothing else. There are so many maps and ways to play, with so many characters to choose from. It is a definate Best Buy!

As soon as this came out, i had to get it as i loved the first one, and i was very pleased with the game. It is so fun it'll blow your mind. All the armys are now united, so now you can play as all the armies (including loads of new COs), and they are all against the evil black hole army. For the first time, there are new ways to win the battles, instead of capturing the enemys HQ or killing all the enemies, you may have to blow up buildings, or in the boss levels you will have to blow up the links in a pipe containg supplies and stuff to the enemies. The CO now have 2 CO powers each, Co power and super Co power, the gauge fills up as you kill enemies and as it passes the Co mark then you can use it, or you can wait for the big Super Co ...

If you like chess or traditional war-games you will love Advance Wars 2. This is a game for the brain - you do not need to have rapid flying fingers. The heart of the game is a series of battles played out on a square grid map. The entire game package is well presented and entertaining with high production values. It has many extra features such as a map designer, personal customisation, options for use with more than one player and many dozens of maps and battles to fight. The thing that really matters, and the thing that makes this game great, is that when you get down to the nitty-gritty of fighting the battles it really does work: You need to think like a military commander, you need to watch what your enemy is doing, you ...
