Battalion Wars threw the 2D engine of Advance Wars out of the window and made a 3D game. This game throws the 3D engine of Prince of Persia out of the window and makes a 2D game. Although, Battalion wars kept the same genre as its previous game. This doesn't.The Prince of Persia games are Platformers/Puzzlers. This is a strategy/RPG.

This game plays pretty well. The Prince of Persia is the leader of your squad. This game is a card RPG so the cards depend on how many moves you make and if you get any power ups during your turn. This system works perfecty and is explained clearly.

When you play the first mission the game tells you everything at once. How to play, the use of the cards etc. Everythin that you need to know is told to you at the beginning of the game. You think "How am I going to remember all of this!". But the good thing is that you do get used this and very quickly too. By the second mission you will know exactly what you are doing.

The graphics are usually plain and simple for when you are controlling your troops but the battle scenes are nice and cell-shaded.

This game offers a change to the normal Prince of Persia style and it succeeds too. RPG and strategy fans go and get this game now!
