this game makes the DS worth buying!!!
so i decided to toss in extra money for a DS and it was worth it just for this game.
Gameplay: if you have played advance wars before you know what to expect, addictive gameplay, and deep strategy, this game can compete with PC strategy games, the maps are well made, you can make your OWN MAPS, and the computers are as good as real players (even though it is nicer to play against someone else once in a while) this game will keep you busy for a long time with single player alone. multi is great, i have tried it out twice, i like that 4 people can play on one DS thats just cool. the only thing that brings down value is no internet multi player which would of been really nice.
Graphics: still 2D really nice 2D but its still 2D, if it used somewhat 3D i might if gave it a 9 but yeah its graphics are pretty and really cool, but its still 2D, but i really dont care cause it doesnt detract from the gameplay at all, it probably even makes it smoother.
Sound: great sound, just great, and it doesnt annoy you like other strategy games usually do after a while.
this game could be the only reason to get a DS, its addictive fun to play with friends and on long road trips(which is good reason to buy a handheld) the only thing that really i can find a problem with is no online multiplayer, hopefullly the next one will have that.
