Advance Wars Review

June 23, 2006

Advance Wars Dual Strike is a turned based strategy game for the Nintendo DS. The concept is really simple you just try to either eliminate all your opponents units or capture their HQ, while keeping your units alive and protecting your HQ. Each commander has their own unique abilities that can be used to help with different strategies to win.

There are many different game types to play like the campaign, survival, combat, war room, versus, wireless, and design room. In the campaign you play through 26 missions while unlocking new content in the game. In survival you can chose between turn, money, and time and have to complete a certain number of maps with restrictions depending on which one you choose. Combat is new to the Advance Wars franchise and isn't turn based, instead you take control of one unit and use the control pad to move it, but the goal for winning is still the same. War Room is where you just go to get your commanders to advance in rank. Versus is the same as war room but your commanders can't advance ranks and it has a larger selection of maps. In Wireless you can play against other people in versus and combat or trade maps. In the design room you can change the background of the menus, how the commanders look, or make your own maps.

If you're someone who tries to complete a game with everything then you will enjoy this game since there are trophies that can only be obtained by unlocking 300 medals which will take a long time to do. The sound in the game is really good since each commander has their own theme song and it changes when you use their powers. The graphics are similar to the gameboy advance versions but updated to be a little less cartoonish.

 My final score for the game is a 9.5 out of 10.
