The sequel to Battalion Wars, Battalion Wars II is all that you expected and more...
While the character animations a still friendly and fun they take a lot of seriousness out of the game, thus showing war as a more "comical" thing. But this was expected since the first game was like this too, you still have the same nations, same generals, so a lot of things were adapted from the first version. Whats new? Well the campaign now switches between today and flashbacks. The idea is good but can sometimes cause trouble if you do not watch all the videos. and the voice acting...some of it's good some of it's TERRIBLE...why do they have to get people with the most annoying accents and I'm not talking about the brits.
Many people said that the controls in the first game were broken, now this issue has not been resolved, at least not fully. The controls are definatly better but still not very good...one push of the wrong button can make you have to restart the mission and some of them are miles long. As I said the missions are very long, so why does Nintendo seem to think that there should be no checkpoints. This only becomes noticable in and after the Anglo Ilse campaign when missions become long and hard.
Completing the game can be tedius work. Overall BW2 is a good sequel but still with a few unresolved issues.
