One of the Best GBA games out there!
User Rating: 9.9 | Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising GBA
First off, don't buy this game unless, A: you've played through Advance Wars 1 or B: You can learn fast. This game takes a while to get used to but once you do it becomes the most used cartridge in your GBA. The campaign starts out with a little bit of a tutorial which is kind of useless because its too boring for AW1 players and not enough for novice players. Once you get past the Orange Star campign (first 6-8 campaign levels) you get to the real side of Advance Wars 2. The difficulty ramps up at a perfect level and you become addicted to it. Once you beat the great (but too easy for me) campaign, you unlock hard campaign and a bunch of new maps and CO's. If you ever become bored of campaign you can head over to the war room to brush up your skills and earn credits to use to buy new maps. Also if you have the urge to recreate a battle or just want to make a cool scenario, in Advance Wars you can make your own maps to play and trade with friends. Overall a great game with perfect graphics for this game. The only bad part, is that toward the end of campaign the game play gets a little repititive but the people over at intelligent systems do a good job of making mission objectives change so it doesn't feel too repititve. Only the war room really feels repititve. Overall a great game and easily one of the best GBA out there, probably the best one of all. 9.9 out of 10
