Advance Wars DS is all around an incredable game. It combines the best features of the old games with great new ones.
User Rating: 8.9 | Advance Wars: Dual Strike DS
Where to start? I had only played the second game in the series when I got this game, and my expectations were low. The Advance Wars series itself is hard to make new versions of because of it's great fundementals, and I was afraid that the new one would change too much, but Nintendo hit the nail on the head. At the start of the levels, only a few graphical changes (that in retrospect were worse than in previeous games) and 2 new COs made it different from Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. But then I got to the later levels, and was almost overwhelmed by a new cast of charectors, the Dual Strike feature, and a whole lot of new units. These units include 2 naval units (Aircraft Carriers and Black Boats), 2 new air units (Stealth Fighters and Black Blombs), and 2 new land units (Piperunners and Mega Tanks). With new units comes new stratagies and video gaming at its very best. This game is a must-have for fans of the series, but It may be difficult for someone who has never played Advance Wars before.
