DS User Reviews

No he jugado el juego pero no se por qué Metacritic "autoreseñó" y no me deja borrar esta reseña. No es la primera vez que pasa.

Very similar to the Advance Wars games on the GBA but considering that they were pure genius, that's no bad thing. Perfectly suited to a hand held system and loads of fun.

Peak advance wars in my opinion. Story was fun, gameplay was spot on, and the new mechanics were definitely welcome. I love swapping between high altitude and ground in clutch situations to help the other. The dual strike mechanic was super fun to play with. Messing with different commanders to see how they play off each other was great. Sadly I doubt we will get a good follow up to this title.

i spent so many hours on this game it's simply addictive and it is one of my favorite turned based strategy game

Advance wars is a handheld turn based military strategy game. It has clear roots in Japanese gameplay and has a focus on some story telling. The story is not interesting enough to engage me into it, and it is clearly a sequel within an existing franchise. Its not really my type of game, but I could see why others may like it. The graphics are more reminiscent of the GBA than the DS, but it has a very distinct and charming art style. The game does utilize both screens well. There are tons of game modes and things to do. So for fans of the series, I'm sure there is much to enjoy. Unfortunately I couldn't get the Multiplayer to work on the DS, but from the wealth of content and idea behind the game, I can imagine it is a blast and I look forward to revisiting the game in greater detail.

By far, the best Advance Wars game in the series. Dual Strike added a great array of interesting weapons, new Commanding Officers, improved and fixed older CO's, added the Dual Strike feature, a great campaign, the new modes Survival and Combat (real-time fighting), an improved (and not superfluously challenging) AI, and ranks so it felt like you were working towards something. Days of Ruin may be technically more sound and fair, but Dual Strike is significantly more fun.

One of the best DS titles, and the best Advance Wars game to date. Fantastic. Would like to see a modern updated version. Skip Days of Ruin and play this one.

One of my most favorite games for the DS and all-time. You can tell since this review was posted nearly 9 years after its release, and I still play it from time to time! Decently long campaign, great gameplay, war room, and extra features make it worth the money.

This game is like crack to a dork like me. I'd pork the hell out of it if it had a ****. If you love turn based strategy and don't have a DS... well, go out and get a DS. An old hamburger one will do just fine. They gotta be pretty cheap by now. Any of the versions of AW are great, but I gotta go with this one as the best. 9.75 rounded down. I don't give tens.

As a fan of the first 2 Advance Wars games, I was happy to get this one. I've played through the campaign and I enjoyed it. The new units are interesting, but they honestly didn't affect any of my major strategies- that could be considered the main weakness of this installment, I believe. One of the great things about this game though is its replayability. You have dozens of missions to choose from after the campaign is over, and you can select different CO's in order win in different ways. If you haven't enjoyed this series before, I highly recommend it now.

Simply a timeless, amazing game. Even if your not a fan of TBS, it's a must try. The amount of options for gameplay are staggering, and the multiplayer and interesting new combat mode just sweeten the deal. Only thing missing is wifi battles, but that is included in days of ruin.

Addictive is the main word that can describe this game, having cartoonish graphics, easy controls and gameplay is a mist own DS game, or a reason to buy a DS, yeah the 3DS is already launched but whatever, just get this game instantly.

With a level editor, multiplayer, hard/easy campaign modes, a combat mode, time/money/turns survival mode, a soundtrack mode, a gallery mode, over 20 characters and over 100 pre-made maps, it is unrivaled in the amount of content and replay value it offers.

While fun to play, and keeping with the traditions of the Advance Wars series, I found this to be less than I expected. The GBA Advanced Wars games seemed so much better for their times.
