    I knew to expect greatness when coming into playing the game for the first time, but words simply cannot describe how blown away I am at how remarkable (and insanely addictive) this truly is.

    This game has it all; the gameplay is solid and far more balanced than those of previous games, the many characters both return and make memorable debuts, and wide variety of new weapons, features and gaming modes will keep you coming back to quench your thirst for mass destruction. Accordingly, this game blows the competition out of the water.

    There are campaigns that will keep you awake at night, second-guessing your tactics, long after you shut the DS off.

    A remarkably deep military strategy game. [Sept 2005, p.62]

    Simply a timeless, amazing game. Even if your not a fan of TBS, it's a must try. The amount of options for gameplay are staggering, and the multiplayer and interesting new combat mode just sweeten the deal. Only thing missing is wifi battles, but that is included in days of ruin.… Expand

    Very fun game, for a while, battles get repetitive. Graphics are ok, compared to some other titles on DS they are lacking, overall game play is good, campaign is fun, but the graphics and lack control over upgrades/base building brings it down to an 8, but still a lot of fun.… Expand

    While fun to play, and keeping with the traditions of the Advance Wars series, I found this to be less than I expected. The GBA Advanced Wars games seemed so much better for their times.… Expand
