this game is a quiet killer app. Bwii combines a strategy like feel and awesome action that is too much too ask for. This time around, you get over 20 plus levels not to mention a splendid online service. No lag at all and over 18 plus levels in all. Get this game and you will not regret it.

Great Game

The moment I bought this game, last Sunday, I was hooked. There is no question about it...this is the best Wii game I own. The graphics are excellent...both in game and during cutscences. It has little details that really make it that much better. The units themselves are little works of art. Each Civilization, for lack of a better word, has their own unique army, both in terms of classes and apperance.
My only complaint with this game is the lack of Local Co-Op...I was really looking forward to split screen madness. Apart from that, this game is awesome!

The game rocks, plain and simple!

One of the most overlooked titles in the Wii's library. It is worth the full $50, but for this price it a no-brainer.

I can't stop playing!

I got this awesome war game 2 months ago and it is still just as fun. I never played the first battalion wars game but i'm looking forward to buying it soon. All the missions are fun and the graphics are cartoony but good. (wifi is fun, match your skills with people around the world and see how "good" you really are.

Great game.

This is probably the most interactive RTS game that is on the market. The concept of being able to fight alongside the soldiers you are commanding is very fun. Though it's a little harder fighting and controlling your men at the same time it's one of the very few your able to do that, setting it apart from other games. Very fun and addictive gameplay although i don't reccomend this to people without internet connected to their nintendo wii because after completing campaign you will find yourself with nothing to do. If you do have online you'll have 35+ more hours of gameplay. Get some friends with BWII and youll have unlimited amounts of fun. Overerall a great game to get. I reccomend this to any RTSer for a new twist to any RTS games. And even if your not a RTS fan you can still pick up and play this game as easy as an RTSer can.

Awesome!

This game is great. There is a lot of fun and it is very easy to get into. For both the veterans (from the first installment Battalion Wars) and new players, the controls will be a bit complex at first but smoothly flow the more you play.

Single Player Campaign is great. The story blends in well with the gameplay. There are a multitude of missions for all but one nation and each becomes harder than the other. You will find yourself to replay many of the missions in order to get the best grade. Multiplayer is fine and dandy. There is no voice chat but surprisingly is not essential for the kinds of missions you could play with other people.

If you are looking for a great war game for the Wii with loads of available units to play and have good fun then this is the game for you.

Solid title with impressive visuals

I just recently purchased this game. I wish I had bought it sooner as this is one impressive game. It's better than I had expected.

The first thing I noticed was the visuals. From the water to the explosions, particle effects and even little details like the grass is absolutely amazing. There are also a bunch of FMV scenes which are incredible and fun to watch as well. Took me by surprise because I didn't expect the level of detail presented in this game. Voice acting is also very well done. In the hands of a good developer such as Kuju Entertainment, the Wii can really shine.

I had a hard time understanding the controls, but after about an hour I got it figured out. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's a rewarding experience.

The online component is pretty fun. You can choose to Play Anyone (random match) or Play a Friend. You can do Co-op, Assault or Skirmish modes. I recommend you play through the single player until you really understand the controls and units first.

Bad:
Not being able to play online with people your already registered in your Wii address book. If you want to play BWII with a friend online, you have to register their unique Battalion Wars 2 game/friend code. Since Nintendo is still stuck on the friend code bandwagon, at least they could make the system less annoying and tie it in with the Wii address book.

After a "play anyone" match, it would of been nice to be able to add that person to your friend list (like Medal of Honor 2 allows you to do).

But, it's futile to complain about the Nintendo friend code system. Too bad Electronic Arts doesn't license out the use of their EA Nation system which bypasses the Nintendo friend codes.

Bottom-line, this is a solid title, fun single player campaign and online multiplayer.

They Took Suggestions Seriously

The successor to the Gamecube's Battalion Wars, BW2 has made advances in many of the fields considered problems in the original game.

The plot follows that of the last game almost exactly - a war between two nations is revealed to be orchestrated by a third nation. This time, the two nations are the Anglo Isles (a strange take on Britain and the game's new faction) and the Solar Empire (a futuristic Asian country), though the intervening nation remains the German-styled Xylvania. Once again, the nations must band together to stop Xylvania from conquering the world.

The gameplay elements that have been improved are the new country (the Anglo Isles), the inclusion of naval units (frigates, dreadnoughts, and the like) and online multiplayer (versus or co-op). All of these add to a fairly solid game, so if you liked the first one there's no reason not to like this one. A lot of the additions are based on complaints with the first game, so at the very least it's nice to see that Nintendo's paying attention to the general feeling. All the units and countries from the old game have also returned. The strategy and tactics, however, are still basically "use x unit against y enemy" and lack the subtlety of Advance Wars.

The Wii remote fits sort of well into the game. Through the use of the nunchuck and the remote, players navigate their soldier around the battlefield, attack, and issue simple orders (usually "follow me", "stay here", and "attack that target"). Like Twilight Princess, BW2 uses the Wii remote's speaker for certain sounds, which works to mixed effect.

The graphics are roughly the same as Battalion Wars 1, and have the cutesy style that the games (and the Advance Wars games) are known for. This deteriorates a little bit from the "war" thing, but that's their style. The sound still borders on offensive, with really stereotyped characters for each nation (especially the heavily accented Solar Empire commanders). The music is decent, but not exceptional.

As a whole, I don't really like Battalion Wars, but this is a definite improvement from the first. I can at least give them credit for taking suggestions seriously and trying to make the game better.

8/10.

A lot of fun, moderate tactical skill needed.

This game has a lot of pro's and very little con's.

Pro's- Excellent gameplay and fun basis of design, entertaining format, great for kids or adults. More games should be like this one.

Con's- Overall game length is short, controls sometimes hard to grasp, explosions and weapon fire could be louder and more dramatic.

I would recommend this game to anyone, its a blast, just don't pay more than $35.00 for it. Its a great game for the money.
