Product Description

Don't let the cartoon-like graphics and easy-to-use controls deceive you--Advance Wars is a seriously addictive strategy game. Already a huge hit in Japan, the game ramps you up and then wages an all-out war. Even after playing several campaigns and deploying an impressive array of armaments, don't be surprised if the game's extremely shrewd AI sneaks up on you. The multiplayer mode links up to four players in a variety of riveting scenarios designed to stretch your strategy skills.

Review

You don't have to be a military genius to recognise that Advance Wars is one of the best strategy war games for any console. The game pits four fictional city-states in a battle for territory; your job as commanding officer is to defeat the enemies in turn-based combat over land, air and sea. Advance Wars has a stiff learning curve, but its interactive tutorials can turn the greenest GI into a great leader of pixelated men. The game also offers many multiplayer options, including the ability to play against a friend by passing the GBA back and forth, and to extend the possibilities you can also create new battlefields and trade them with others. Despite cutesy visuals, this is a very deep game that is also accessible. For GBA generals looking to flex their tactical muscles or anyone looking for a simply great GBA game, look no further. --Mark Brooks
