Game Boy Advance Critic Reviews

From trying to unlock every CO to buying all the War Room and Vs. maps to trying to earn the best rank possible, there are enough features in this game to make three games. Advance Wars is pretty much perfect in every category.

There’s no question. You must play this game, at least through the field training. It’s just so amazing.

A deep, quite cartoony and consummately Japanese turn-based wargame with depth, character and replayability to burn.

Handheld game or not, the depth and complexity of Advance Wars is astonishing.

Its combination of easy controls, high replayability, and large depth, will keep players coming back for more for a long time to come.

There is a perfect blend of simplicity and complexity that makes this game so highly addictive.

One of the best aspects of Advance Wars is the sheer amount of things you can do. If you choose not to play the Campaign mode, you can still fight and earn battlefields in the War Room, or can get friends together and play multiplayer on either one GBA or link up to four GBAs at one time.

Incredibly intense and amazingly addictive...especially when you learn every little nuance of the game design.

Nearly flawless, Advance Wars is the most challenging, deep, and interesting handheld title available.

Regardless of whether you’re an aspiring Gen. Douglas McArthur, you are going to love this game.
