An excellent game that keeps the player challenged and into the game.

I missed the first one so I can't compare it, but I loved this game. It is hard to put down unless the batteries just died in your gameboy. It's campaign mode is long and can get difficult. I got stuck and was unable to finish, but i am still trying. The graphics remind me of Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance, another great game. The vehicles each have their own unique look for each continent and it is very smooth to play. The unique units on certain battlefields such as pipelines add an even greater challenge and strategy element to the game and make it so there is more than one way to play each level. One thing that may frustrate players is that some of the maps require correct decisions from the very beginning meaning that if you mess that up, you will have to start the mission all over again, and since some of them take one half hour or longer, it can get frustrating. Other than that, the gameplay is excellent. The war room mode is cool too since it allows you to play maps other than the ones on the campaign just to have some fun. This is one of the best games out for the GBA.
