I don't have a DS, but otherwise I agree with what they said up there. Great game. One issue with online play is people are just disconnecting to avoid a loss, so this makes the online leaderboard mainly useless. But if you don't care about rating, nevermind.

All in all, I have played maybe 7 PSP games and this is the best.

The game is a role play based, move for move. I enjoy it and I have played countless hours on it already. I will be looking for the sequel

Enjoyable

Field Commander is a good turn based game. The plot is average at best. You work for ATLAS which is an anagram for something that I can't remember. The gameplay is really simple. The X button controls mostly everything. The graphics on the units are average. The environment graphics are really good though. There are about 16 unit types per side. They are all the same, but they look a little different from one another. This game also has online play which is kinda fun. I say kinda because you get rated as a win or loss at the end of the game. But since people are really cheap, they always duck out right before you actually get the win, which doesn't give you a rating.
pros: gameplay
graphics are nice
online play
cons: people are cheap
average turn based game

Pleasant Surprise

Being new to the turn-based strategy genre, I didn't know what to expect from this game, but decided to give it a chance. This game turned out to be a gem. Despite unbalanced AI, this game is lots of fun and definitely worthwhile.

Great game - Grandsons love -

This product was in new condition. Received in a timely manner and the children love it. Very happy with this selection and the seller.

Chess on steroids, but can't keep track of mission progress

The POSITIVES: I bought this used, and after 1 day of play i was convinced I'd be returning it (if you buy a game used at any GameStop/EBGames, you can return within a week for any reason). I tried it again on Day 2 and never looked back. There is a bit of a learning curve, and once it clicks you realize it is a GREAT strategy game. If you are a chess enthusiast, this game satisfies those cravings. You use your pieces of various moves and strengths to set up traps, to attack, to defend, to move forward, and to control the field of play. Yes, as most reviewers have pointed out, the AI isn't very good. I am the worst at these types of games, and I've completed the first 7 missions without losing and having to repeat. I don't know what that other reviewer was talking about when he/she said they had to do each level 3-4 times - they must not have completed the tutorial. I don't mind the poor AI, it gives me a chance to figure the game out without getting frustrated. I'm getting better with every mission. I've read a lot about how this game "borrows" heavily from Advance Wars. I've never played it, but who cares? If it's a great game, why does where it borrows from matter? This is a psitive. Look at what other games do successfully, repeat and try to improve upon it.

The NEGATIVES: BUT the reason i didn't give this game 5 stars: I just don't understand why it tells you your stats at the end of each mission during the campaign, but then there is no way to go back and see how you did on those mission, so you can replay them and try to do better on them (a la Warhammer Squad Command). Also there is no way to view how many missions you've completed succesfully, and how many more you have to go during the campaign. So when i say I've completed 7 missions, i don't really know, it might be 6, it might be 8. No idea. When I go to quick battle, it gives me mission names and mission numbers but they don't match the missions on the campaign. For example, if i wanted to replay mission 1 from the campaign, I have no way of finding it on the quick battle menu, because it isn't listed as Mission 1. The only way to find it is if you know the mission name. Well, i can't go back to the campaign to find what the mission name is for missions i've already completed. So i went to the forums and boards hoping to sort this stuff out, and it turns out, Mission 1 from campaign is mission 27 (or 28) from the quick battle menu. And mission 2 is actually mission 29 from the quick battle. Absolutely ludicrous. How do they leave this out? FC's biggest blunder. IF an FC 2 comes out, keep the missions between campaign and quick battle CONSISTENT so i know where to go to redo some levels. Also, keep track of stats to provide the incentive to want to do better and to gauge whether one does better on levels they replay. Isn't replayability important to a succesful game? And let me knoiw where i am during the campaign, how many i've completed, and how many more to go! This game should have thought have taken care of these minor details. Not hard to do.
