Alright, let's have a history lesson. The first Advance Wars was a great game, if I should say so myself. It was both fun and addictive. If you don't believe me, go ahead and read the reviews that other people gave Advance Wars. There's a reason why so many people gave Advance Wars such a high rating: it gave a great sense of playing a real war while keeping it so that it isn't too violent, as well as being an educational video game. Quite an impressive break from all those shooters that have been emerging to the video game market. So, if Nintendo is adding on more details to the Advance Wars engine that's proven to provide stellar gameplay, what kind of cons could there be? Nintendo's making Advance Wars BETTER than ever, with more units, COs, terrain, and much more. Therefore, it's a no brainer; this game will be a good continuation to Advance Wars. I'm definately going to get this game as soon as it comes out!

Science-Fiction + War Tactics = Blah

The original, Advance Wars, was a great 5 star game that combined strategy and a fun storyline to create a great game. The downfall of this game was adding science-fiction. The new neo-tank looks like a meteor with a gun and the new COs are really quite creepy. The added pipeline feature makes no sense, why should you have to control one section of pipeline to cross? Last, after all the reviews and coverages I've read about this game the only new unit is the horrible neo-tank. That is why it deserves a 2.

A good game

This game is awesome. The plot line is perfect. You against the alien leader, Sturm. All of the guys you destroyed are now on your team, such as Kanbei and Olaf. Plus Andy , Max, and Sami, the origanal COs. There are new guys to, such as Sensei, Colin, Hawke, Lash, and Adder. Plus new super CO powers, like Andy's is heal 5 instead of 2 plus there firepower is increased , and Max Blast makes Max's troops even better. Sami's Victory March lets you capture a city in one turn. Its great, tons of new stuff like the pipeline, the all powerful neotank and even a missle silo, which lets you attack anyone of your enemy's troops. Plus all the maps, and the design map ability make this an AWESOME game. I'm buying it the very sec it appears in stores on June 23, yeah, the 23rd, not the 26th like they say.

da best

The first advance wars was amazing imagine how amazing this one will be. I have heard that it is coming out the 23rd not the 26th like they say. The neo tank is the best. There are new charecters and all the epople you defeated in the first advance wars are on you team but not sturm. My favorite is eagle.

Asometion

I've played advance wars and almoast beaten it. Though I cant exactly beat it I almoast beat it once but my game turned off!!! But it's a really great game. Tough yet fun. I love it though it takes a while it pretty awsome. I've always had a knack for finding the best games, but this one was the best I've yet to stumble on.

advance wars 2 is da best my best friend played it for 2 hours none stop. the cool thing is that you get to be all the old people in the first one. my dad wouldn't give it back to me finally my mom had to make him. my cousin tried to buy it from me. the neo tank is the best all the maps in the first one you had to buy are already there. yellow comet is really hard because it is so small. I got it on the first day.

Read the rewiew and go out to buy it!

First off, I'd like to say that, in MOST aspects, this game is FAR better than the first one. 8 new COs with great music for each, excellent map-screen graphics, less linear campaign, and a new unit make this game exceedingly fun. Basically, it's much more fun than the first. My gripe, however, comes with the map editor.

If you're like myself, you love toying around with the Map Editor in AW and AW2. You like setting up Campaign-like maps that provide quite the challenge. When I heard about the introductions of 4-way laser cannons, long-range cannons and short-range minicannons, impervious walls, missile silos, and unstoppable Death Rays, I thought what most people would think: Sweeeeet. I can use these in the map editor!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way. The pipelines (walls) and missile silos are the only terrains the player can take advantage of. No cannons, lasers, or death rays for you, only for the computer and only in Campaign Mode. You can blow these things up, but not capture them. I was looking forward to this, in addition to placing Black Hole units, which explains the dinged star.

Otherwise, though, this game is GREAT. BUY IT!
