A Fun War Game

Battalion Wars combines strategy, command decisions and shooting with a format that takes the gore out of war. If you are not a fan of bloody life-like shooter games, but enjoy the strategy of winning a battle you will like this game. The missions are challenging, but very doable. You can complete a mission, but since you are graded on speed, tactics and power, the game stays interesting by going back to try and improve your score.

I bought it for my son and we both have enjoyed learning it and trying to outdo each other in getting the best score for each mission. The only thing lacking is a multiplayer mode that would allow us to battle together at the same time. Still, this is one of the best war games on any platform.

to give this game a more comprehensive review, i will score it out of ten instead of five..so i give Battalion Wars for GC a 9/10. I'll break it down into several categories to give you a better idea of how good the game is.
Graphics- The environments are a bit bland at times, although the character and vehicle models are gorgeous!!!Seriously these are some of the best looking cars on the GC. Now for the cutscenes..aside from the opening cutscene in Baiten Katos, these are the best looking cutscenes on the system that i'm aware of.
Sound: The sound for the voiceovers is absolutely spot on. The voices are serious when needed and funny when they should be. You'll swear you're actually in the middle of the battle, the bullet sounds are so realistic.
Controls: The controls, while hard to learn, do work well. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be blowing Xylvanians left and right. Fun fun fun!!!
Other: The game is a bit short, and worst of all theres NO MULTIPLAYER!!! :'( Plus, i noticed some lousy camera angles, but only some of the time. Definatly not enough to detract from the overall value of this title.
BOTTOM LINE: THIS IS A MUST OWN GAME!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS! IF YOU LIKE RTS GAMES, SHOOTERS, OR..HUMOROUS THINGS IN GENERAL YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME!! PROBABLY THE BEST SHOOTER ON THE GC!

great game!!!!!! should have multiplayer

this game is great. the contrlos are a little confusing at first, but you figure it out soon. its pretty cool that you get to drive around in tanks and jeeps. the only game i ever played where you get to drive around in tanks and jeeps was halo. the only flaw in the game is THERES NO MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if theres ever a sequal it needs multiplayer!!!!!!!!!!! other then that this is a must buy game for anyone who owns a game cube. my overall rating of this game is 10

Kid and Parent like this war game

Battalion Wars is a game you won't regret buying. It is the best game I ever played! I like it better than Star Wars Battlefront II because it's more challenging and you can do more things. My parents like Battalion Wars because it's less violent than Star Wars BF II. It's more strategy, not just shot and kill. The game takes you through all sorts of missions across the Tundra, Xlyvaniania, and the Dune Sea. You are a commander commanding the Western Frontier against the Tundra. The missions won't just take you five minutes, they are really challenging. Your army has all kinds of tanks, recons, and other vehicles. You have rifles, flamethrowers, and even bazookas. It even has amazing graphics. All in all, you do not want miss this GREAT game!

Really fun!

Nintendo made a good game! I am dissappointed they left out multi-player, but its still a fun game. The war exterior is really cool and I love how this game controls. I want a sequel so bad! But, I still like this game. I think this game shows what Nintendo used to be. GO NINTENDO!

I HAVE 1 GAME FOR GAMECUBE. THIS IS IT

The closest thing to command & conquer available for the Gamecube.
Command one unit, all units, or select units.

Tanks
Artillery
Riflemen
Poison gas
Grenadiers
Helicopters
Jet Fighters
Bazookamen
Scout vehicles
Flame-throwers
Machinegunners
Low level bombers
Hi altitude bombers
Tank-killer vehicles
Shoulder-fired anti-air missilemen
The only thing missing is ships.

The first scenario is the turtorial.
Controls are easy to learn, a little more difficult to master, but not overly-hard.
One big selling point is that the scenarios are easy to access (no passwords or codewords or necessary).

Definition of combat: lacking everything but enemy!

And just like in real combat,
your damned officer won't get the hell off your radio,
and the troops won't stop asking stupid questions!

Multiple characters.
Multiple weapons.
1 player.
Real time shooter.
Tactics.
Auto targeting.

The narrative is 3-stooges soap-opera but irrelavent so who cares?

Strategy guide is most helpfull but not necessary.

Better than "Conflict Desert Storm".

If you like this game try Conflict Zone: Modern War Strategy PS2.
If you like this game try "Command & Conquer" PS1.
If you like this game try the movie Too Late the Hero

this game is amazing !the graphics are not that good but who cares . this is not only the best shooter game of all time but a new way to command an army in a video game . having a menu of the squads and telling the when to attack or to stay back . its a strategy shooter . if you like halo get this game . one more thing it does not have multi player though.

The Greateset shooter game fo Gamecube ever

This is probably the best game for kids who want to play war games. The graphics are phenomenal and almost never get blurry.
The sound is probably the best I have have heard in any game and it always lines up with peoples mouths (except your CO). This has great missions and they get they harder as you go along. If they have a number two the need a Co-OP mode.

great game don`t give in to the enemy

I love advance wars and when I heard this was coming out my mind was focuse on getting this completely. Once I did it was amazing, the strategy, combat, fun, and most of all waching your enemy kneel before you. All though it may take some tough tries to win missions near the end it's worth it. Piloting the bombers, manuevering the battlstations, sending your troops to victory you can never get enough of it! When you want an educational fun, yet violent game based on strtegy buy this. the coolest thing about this is thant it's not turn-based and that you can pilot your soldiers at any time and not just give them orders. Nintendo has but the Ten out of five stars in the NinTENdo. Just remeber if you fail the first time try again a great thing to do is to first overview what your about to do then acctually play it or do both at the same time.
