Advance Wars Dual Strike is, I think the easiest of the three (not including DoR). The gameplay is very similar throughout. The only difference is that Dual Strike has new characters, new vehicles, and the new Tag Power. If you are experienced Advance Wars player, AW:DS will be pretty easy. If you are new to the game, maybe it won't be so easy. Sadly, AW:DS has no online multiplayer gameplay. However, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin has online play but DoR is the hardest of all AW games. (Personally, I haven't played Days of Ruin yet, but from the comments and reviews, its pretty difficult.) So, best not get DoR for a newbie player.

Advance Wars Dual Strike is a great game, its even more fun if you have played Advance Wars 1 and 2 before. Yeah, you should get this game - Advance Wars: Dual Strike

I agree, Dual Strike is equal to the first two GBA games with the added tag power. DoR is very much harder, & from reading posts, online play is not good because people quit when losing. So not too much fun there for online.

One game not being mentioned is Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. "The parts may seem commonplace, but Puzzle Quest's blend of RPG and puzzle-game convention makes for something refreshingly unique and dangerously addictive."

It is rated everyone & the puzzle part is a game called bejewled. Make a match of 3 same color across or up/down. It is not hard and fun to play.

Is this game ...

1. A new game ?

2. A remake of a game previously released in Japan only ?

3. A remake of a game released on an older system ?
