I waited all this time for this? As an obvious Advance Wars clone, it doesn't even come close.
User Rating: 4.3 | Field Commander PSP
This game is a huge disappointment. I've been waiting for a truly compelling game for the PSP, and since I loved Advance Wars (AW) so much, I thought Field Commander (FC) would take advantage of the PSP's superior graphics capability. I was wrong. My biggest complaint, which generally makes the game hardly playable, is the units are tiny and barely unidentifiable. My intent isn't to turn this into an AW review, but that game has everything FC does not. AW has character (through the Commanding Officers), progressive difficulty, addictiveness, and cleverness. FC is a primary example of the axiom "it's the gameplay, not the graphics." I think FC's strongest suit is its multiplayer, which I have not tested, because the game is so character-free. I wish I could take the game back. What I'll probably do is return it for the $5 or $10 that Ebgames offers and use the money to purchase a better game.
