This game was terrible. I don't know why nintendo made this game. This was the worst game I ever played. Nintendo, please do not discrace yourself with another game like this. P.S. There is no action in this game. If you like action games stay away from this game.

BOOOOOOO

Dont buy this game! It is horrible! The cartoons look like an ages 2 and up board game. It is ditsy, dinky, and silly. Go buy a REAl strategy game. This stinks.

this one fades out like a summer romance

Yo, I heard some really solid reviews for this game, so I went ahead and picked it up. Now I want to take it back, but I can't. The intro/tutorial mode is really good, but that is about it. Once you get past that part, the game is weak, weak, weak. Well, I'm going to target to play some good games instead.

repetitious

All I have heard are good things about this game but that is not what I thought. If you really like war this will probably be one of your favorites, but if not it will get really repetitious. All you do is fight war after war after war. It got very boring very quick for me. The good point is that you can build your own maps to fight wars on but you can only store up to three.

Turn-base somewhere else

This is the age where we like instant, non-stop action. Turn-based strategy games are becoming a past landmark. But first let's look at the premisis of Advance Wars. You take turns building troops and telling them where to go in conquest to hike across the landscape and take over the enemy's base. Simple. In fact, it's so simple, I began to wonder if there's really any strategy involved. It's just a matter of who's quick enough to build the heavier kinds of artillery. -- Playing alone is fairly fun, though. After all, there are loads of single-player missions to gradually build through. However, we all know that a game without a multi-player support really doesn't last long. I thought perhaps Advance War's own contribution would help the game, but it really doesn't. Playing with a friend is a slow process with very little personal reward. Like I said earlier, turn-based games don't belong in the gaming industry in this day. See the difference between Worms Armageddon and the freeware Liero.

Fun for the first 15 hours

The game is highly addictive and the early missions are excellent. It is LONG, and after a while you will find hours have gone by and you have no recollection of what has happened.

About halfway through the campaign (lots of hours) you get to build units, which ends up making the game extremely repetitive.
It just degenerates into a build and shove to the front.

In short, it is pretty good but lacks any deep plot or replay value. And after a few hours you will just hate the battle anims.

advaced wars good, bad or soso?

advanced wars is definetly about multiplayer. One reason is there are two practialy impossible levels which eventualy stops you from playing 1player (you try beating the last level without giving up!) I know this might stun a few gamers but I don't think this game is worth 40 or 50 dollars maby not even 20 or 30! the rest of this game is good (graphics, gameplay, etc.)
Sorry but this just isn't one of my favorite games.

I think that this is a fun game for the first few hours, but there is never any change from the repitition of building and blasting units. The campaign isn't very varied and gets dull fast. The map editor is cool, but its not very fun to fight on a map you designed, and therefore know inside and out. If your really into this genre then its a good buy, but if you want a game that provides more excitement, and holds your attention, then pass this one up.

It's g-rrrreat

This game is very good there is lots of very fun levels for single and multi-player the campaign mode is lodes of fun but it is very hard later on. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is it is almost impossible to beat the last level on easy but then theres a HARD?? it is REALLY hard, but still its a very good game.
