There was this neat looking cartoony Nintendo war game for GBA that had just come out and got good reviews, and everything those reviews talked about screamed I MUST HAVE THIS GAME to me. I ran out to my parents in the other room after reading about it and screamed I MUST HAVE THIS GAME to them. My dad went out and bought it for me that day, and Ive been hooked on the series ever since. Advance Wars is a series about a kid who commands an army and doesnt know what an airport is. He then goes on to destroy entire armies to save the world. None of this is an exaggeration. Where Dual Strike in particular excels is in its single-player content. No other Advance Wars game incentivizes playing by yourself quite as much as DS does. It has literally every single Battle Map from the previous game, plus more of its own, and has more flexibility in its CO swapping mechanic. OK, so maybe a few of the combinations of COs are slightly completely and totally broken, but who needs balance anyway when your game is this god damn fun? --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:949645590] in The Board ...
