It's Deja Vu...in a good way!

User Rating: 9.5 | Advance Wars: Days of Ruin DS
Now, I've been playing the advance wars series ever since it came out...and all I saw were bigger, badder CO powers and bigger tanks! But, with Days of Ruin, the new focus is definitely better!

Gameplay:
Though AWDOR seems like the old advance wars in new packaging (which is somewhat true), the game has been revamped to be much more strategic. Anti-tanks anyone? CO-powers? What are those? Units are more expensive, more potent, and overall more balanced. In other words, the game relies much more on the player and strategy now.

Graphics:
Much less cartoon-y than before. It reflects the dark storyline pretty well.

Music:
Meh, I've heard better. It gets old after a few minutes.

Replay value:
Definitely! Though it could grow old pretty fast (since it is really similar to the older ones), give it time and you'll find yourself coming back! And don't forget the multiplayer.
