As Battalion Wars debuts on the Wii, it shows plenty of potential. It's just not there yet. Still a great game.
User Rating: 8 | Battalion Wars 2 WII
After playing through the original Battalion Wars on the Gamecube, I was very interested in seeing how it would work on the Wii. The end result is a solid game. In the story of Battalion Wars, there are a lot of references to real nations. The Anglo Isles(Britain) believes that the Solar Empire(Japan) is building a super-weapon and attacks them. This begins a world wide war. One thing about the game that really stands out about the game are the controls. The wii remote responds well and the control scheme works very well also. What has always given this series so much potential is how it plays. A third-person shooter where you control numerous other infantry gives this shooter-strategy hybrid a lot to work with. The biggest problem with the game is the fact that it is really easy. I mean done in 10 hours easy. What brings people back is a great multiplayer.
All in all, if you are looking for a good strategy game that's accessible to new players and has strong multiplayer, look no further than BWii.
