The game came with the original box, artwork, and instruction booklet and was still cheaper than what other shops were charging for just the game cartridge alone. Very fair pricing for this game.
At first glance (~10 hours of play time over two days), this is about twice as much of an improvement over Advance Wars 2 as Advance Wars 2 was over Advance Wars.To those that don’t know what that means, some context: I’m a sucker for the turn-based strategy genre, and this is the only one to come out for years. So to me, this was worth buying a Nintendo DS for. If you’re not sure if you’d like the game (or genre), you may want to skimp and just buy Advance Wars 2 for the Game Boy Advance first; it’s a cheap purchase, and it’ll serve much the same purpose.But for some of us, “more of the same” is a good thing…
Lots of fun here!
Love this game!I wish they make a new Advance Wars game.
This version of advance wars has a lot of the maps from one and two. A fun and diverse campaign. A ton of characters including ones from 1 and 2. I liked the newer darker one, but this one has more charm and the battle maps are more fun in my opinion. I have gotten more replay out of the war room in this game than all advanced wars games I’ve played combined. I highly recommend this game to fans of the series.
The Advance Wars series is the best handheld strategy series to date. Using a simple interface but complex tactics, Advance Wars has always been a game that the hardest of hardcore or the newest of newbies could pick up and enjoy. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have managed to bring all of the strategic action to the Nintendo DS in the best way possible, Advance Wars: Dual Strike.Advance Wars was great, but Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising took everything and made it better. Similarly, Dual Strike is basically AW2 with a lot of new stuff and a continuing story. The Black Hole army was defeated but once again they’re trying to recover and gain power. It’s up to the Allied Nations of Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet, and Green Earth to rise against the Black Hole forces and silence them once and for all. New Commanding Officers come into play and mix up the story, but the old protagonist Andy has been replaced by an annoying new guy named Jake. Jake wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t an Orange version of your typical suburban wannabe…but that’s a different story.The gameplay remains largely intact, with the same turn-based stuff we’ve all played and loved for four years. Each side gets a turn and the battle cycles around until a headquarters location is captured or all units of one side are destroyed. There are 25 units (which includes six all-knew units) at your disposal, ranging from infantry units to stealth planes. Using different types of terrain for transportation a.
Advance Wars Dual Strike is a turn based strategy game that pits your army against varying commanding officers in a series of battles over a vast array of landscapes. Its lighthearted nature (many of the commanding officers are quite young and speak in slang) makes it appropriate for kids, but don’t let this lightheartedness mask what is an incredibly deep and very enjoyable game.The basic concept of Advance Wars is simple–you play as a CO (commanding officer) and are given control of an army during a battle. You’re up against a CO of the Black Hole Army and can win the battle either by destroying all your enemy’s combat units or by taking over their headquarters. The maps have varying terrain that adds an element of complexity to the fights (forests you can hide in, mountains from which some units can see long distances, etc) and forces you to deploy and move your units strategically, and you can take over cities and factories along the way to boost your resources and unit production capability.A new concept in Dual Strike (I believe this is the 3rd Advance Wars game, though this is the first I’ve played) is the dual CO battle. Fairly early on in the campaign mode you’re introduced to the concept of a tag team battle where you’ve got control of 2 COs and can switch them and use them for their varying abilities (Dual Strike features a whole slew of COs, each with special abilities and attributes that can aid you in battle) during the course of the fight. This adds yet a.
If your a fan of stragity games, look no further. Advance Wars: Dual Strike has some good solid gameplay while having more than enough content to keep you occupied for a long while.Pros:Many maps and gameplay options lead to long replay value.New units, maps, COs, gameplay modes.Good selection of music.Cons:Campain can be fustrating, if you get stuck, you can’t continue.
This game has a “History” screen, which logs, among other stats, the total time spent playing the game. My counter just passed 229 hours and 8 minutes.It’s addictive, to say the least. Can be played in long periods or short bursts. Highly recommended to anyone with a DS.
