One of the best games to play if you're looking for a game that's not to complex and you're on the go.

The game is a basic srpg but what makes it stand above many other srpgs is that there are 18 different types of units and not all of them are useable in every battle. Some battles have air combat but no sea combat and vice-versa. Also in some battles you have a fixed amount of units and in other battles you can build new units to replace fallen ones. There is also a lot of different ways to play the game, there's the main campaign and also multiplayer modes.

The graphics are not flashy but are good and clear. In fact the style is appropriate for the WWII feel of the game and I liked them just fine. For a Game Boy Advance game there very good and give the game a kind of charm.

The story is not very complex or long but suits the game. Basically you just move from one battle to another with a little bit of story between battles. This keeps the game light and fast paced.

There is a lot of value in this game, you can pick it up for maybe $20 to $10 and get many hours of enjoyment out of it. There's also a harder mode to the game after you first beat it so a second play thru is worth trying out since the main campaign is not really long.

Overall this is a great game that I played for a few months during my lunch break and it was nice to have a game that you can just pick up and play for 20 or 30 minutes at a time. I recommend this game very highly.

GAME-PLAY: 8/10

GRAPHICS: 8/10

STORY: 7/10

VALUE: 9/10



OVERALL: 8/10

    I'm no fan of TBS games, but after I picked this up, my opinion forever changed.

    How did I come across this fun little addicting game? Oh yes, the day where I first picked up my Game Boy Advance. My parents were going to buy me one extra game to go along with my new GBA system (I also had the choice ... Read Full Review
