Very amazing game that is made only for the DS. In my opinion, it is the best game for the DS as of January 2008, even though Mario Kart DS is a favorite, I like this game a lot better. It is a turn-based strategy game, turns meaning days, of who can capture an opponent's HQ first or who can destroy all enemy units first. Once you play campaign, you will slowly learn how to play. After some of the missions, you will know how units work and what your best COs and strategies are. For example, I like being Eagle and flooding the map with air units. I also like being Kanbei and crushing everyone else with his powerful overall stats. Some COs also have few disadvantages, though. Eagle's naval units are weaker than his other units and Kanbei's units are more expensive. We just have to adapt to these weaknesses and find the best strategies for each CO to use.

War Room tests your skills against computer-controlled COs in a specified map. There are many options, including the numbers of enemies and if skills, or apps used to juice up your COs, are on or off. The harder the options are, there is increased experience for your CO.

Vs. Mode is the mode that people practice at or play their friends at. Points aren't involved and there is many maps you can choose from. I play this mode to practice or play with or against others.

Combat is a real-time combat game that is challenging by itself, but you can play others at it using DS Download Play. It gets hilarious when you play it.

Survival is a series of maps that you must beat in order to survive. There are limits, though. Turn gives you a number of turns that you have to get through for all the maps. Money gives you a high amount of money to use to spend on units and funding. Time gives you time in terms of minutes and seconds, so you have to think quickly!

There are many other modes that let you design maps and COs, shop at Battle Maps, and see all the medals you have. But remember, there is more! I've played the first game for the GBA and I think this one is better. This is a very recommendable game for people of all ages. Only for the DS!
