While many reviews suggest that this game is classic and excellent, it has a fatal flaw that cannot be overlooked.

User Rating: 6.5 | Advance Wars: Dual Strike DS
The problem with this game is the ridiculous and boring 'story' told througha dialogue between characters that are flat and stereotypical, that cannot be skipped or fast forwarded. This makes playing campaign mode a test of endurance, you cannot even go and do something else which this stupidity plays out, because the ds requires you to tap the screen after each characters dialogue in order for the next equally boring and pointless character to say their line.

This issue ruins the experience and flow of the game, which is otherwise delightful. What a pity it cannot be turned off. Major design flaw.
