Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In a nutshell: The greatest strategy game in portable history maneuvers onto the DS with new units, new COs (commanding officers), new game modes and the most addictive gameplay this side of Tetris. It may not have much in the looks department but in gameplay terms this is the supermodel of turn-based combat. The lowdown: Mixing chess-like complexities with an anime plotline, Advance Wars is one of gaming’s most unlikely heroes. This marks the most significant overhaul of the series yet with six new units and dozens of new features, including a real-time mode. The stylus control and dual screen display are really just gimmicks though, and it’s the new dual strike attacks that are the most interesting idea, with COs double teaming for some battle turning super moves. COs can also gain "experience", as in a role-playing game, allowing you to fine tune your army’s abilities like never before. Most exciting moment: A tense four way battle against friends that ends in a double whammy duel strike from hell. Since you ask: The Advance Wars series has been going since 1988 in Japan, where it’s known as Famicom Wars. The first to make it to the UK was Advance Wars 1 on the GBA in 2002. Advanced or not, war has historically been viewed as a bad thing. The bottom line: The best DS game yet and probably the best Advance Wars ever.  Harrison Dent Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - I keep coming back.I'll keep this short. I heard many good things about the prequels on the GBA, but dismissed them as I don't like strategy games. But when offered this for a measly ten pounds from a friend I thought 'What the hell' and bought it. It's addictive, deep, and oh so much of a joy to play. It is very challening and requires you to develop a strategy but it really is worth your time even if you don't usually like these games. Battles can be very long but there is no time limit so you can take as long as you like, perfect for when you are half watching TV, half playing the game! you can even save mid-battle if needs be. Believe the hype, believe the reviews, its fantastic. Rating:  - Very hard...I bought this game as I've read many reviews on Amazon and elsewhere hailing it as one of the best titles available on the Nintendo DS. The game is a stategy game along similar lines to Command and Conquer. In essence you control a turn-based army including units such as tanks, bazooka teams, mobile howitzers, helicopers, jets etc. Your objective is to capture buildings to gain 'money' then use this money to build tanks, planes etc then attack your enemy until either their entire army has been vanquished or you capture their HQ. This is all well and good and the gameplay is involving and challenging, unfortunately this is my first gripe: in my humble opinion it is far TOO challenging. There are supposedly 300 ... Read More: Rating: - Cartoon WarsAdvance Wars DS is in my opinion just a cartoony version af chess (albeit much more complicated and enjoyable). It's turn based strategy game where you command an army and must defeat the other army or armies. That's the basic gist but there is a huge campaign mode with a hard mode as well which is basically a new campaign on top which just have this but in diferent scenarios. Then there are survival, vs and war room. Then you can create your own stages. There is a huge amount to do it'll take forever. IT's highly addictive, easy to drop into anf with a really good learing curve. allows multiple save files. PErfect game to play on a handheld. While graphically it's not that impressive it's functional and it doesn't add much from the 2 gba titles ... Read More: Rating: - Best Game ever - a year later, still playingAmazing game, can get very deep and involved, which is fantastic for the DS. One of the best points is that you can play for just a few seconds and save at any point, which is a rare thing on DS games. Like I say I've been playing this for a year and I am still hooked - the campaign alone is huge, but there are so many extra levels and maps, it's fantastic. Rating:  - Fun Game!!A lot of people seem to be camparing this game to command and conquer when its more like Starcraft meets Chess. The balancing of the units in this game is very good and adds a lot of strategy. It requires you to actually use your brain(unlike command and conquer)and it isn't just mindless hogwash. The graphics could have used an upgrade from the GBA versions but the gameplay more than makes up for it. I highly recommend this game if your willing to give up some time on learning the ropes. |
