Advanced Wars is a Turn-Based Stradegy game that does NOT fail to deliver with it's stoy and amazing multiplayer.
I've played other Advanced Wars games and I'd have to say this one is the best to me. To start off, you got story mode. DoR manages to have an exciting storyline with twists and turns that make you cry when you can't get past a level. Because all you can think about is getting to the next stage to see what will happen. I just recently beat the story mode after over a year of owning this game. You could probally beat it in less time, it's just that I took a break so I had to re-touch on my skills. Story mode also has optional maps that you unlock as you go on. Doing optional maps also unlocks optional maps. So you'll always be kept busy. Overall... I'd say that unless you are an AW god that can get through every level quickly... I'd say at least 200- (if you are new or get stuck on levels like The Great Owl) 450 hours.
Multiplayer doesn't fail either. Every game has a max of 4 players. These days not as many people are playing online, but the real deal, the maps people make, are still up for grabs. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention? In DoR you can create your own AW maps, FULLY customizable. Then pop them online for everyone to enjoy. Bealive me, some people make some NICE maps. You can choose to play with people over WiFi, or you could play against up to 3 bots offline. Either way, it's quite the experiance. One last thing, as you go through story mode you unlock Commanders to play as in multiplayer. Every CO has his own unique special ability and field bonus. There's also little stuff to unlock like S medels for doing extra great in a mission or optional map.
Thats about it. As you can see this game is worth the 30 dollars it is now. More then worth it. I probally have put in 600hrs, this is a real time burner. Not even Modern Warfare or Brawl distracted me too long from this amazingly addictive game.
