Advance Wars? Moar?

I've been a fan of the Advance Wars games for awhile now and I was wondering if Days of Ruin was alright compared to Dual Strike. Honestly I found Dual Strike more fun of a game and loved the CO switches during the days. Was anyone else slightly disappointed by Days of Ruin compared to Dual Strike?

Yeah look I found that DoR was a bit of a letdown compared to Dual Strike TBH. While the change of setting was refreshing the game just felt like it went backwards for me. They literally stripped the game of most of its modes and only really included a campaign (no hard campaign either), a vs mode and a map builder mode. I suppose one of the reasons the game might've seen quite short to me was that I couldn't use the online features, but even if I could've used them I can't imagine myself playing anyone online due to the long nature of an average advance wars battle.

Don't get me wrong though, I still enjoyed the campaign thoroughly and overall I would probably still rate it an 8 out of 10, but there's no denying it was a letdown compared to Dual strike.

Edit: You also go back to only using 1 co but I personally found this to be a plus. Dual strikes were rediculously cheap IMO.

dual strike was a wwaaaaayyy better game. i do like the sea planes from dual strike tho. and the newer landscaping options in map creator. along with co-op single ds play in free battle.

I honestly can't say which game I like more, since I love them both. Dual Strike isn't quite as tough and as such is a bit more fun to play, but I really like the new art style in Days of Ruin, and the fact that the story is darker (characters actually kill each other rather than trading childish insults).

I loved the new modes in Dual Strike, but I love much moe that you can create/download 50 maps and play online with voice chat. The ideal deal is having both.

DoR is better for me as the new layout is refreshing and those stupid tag powers that ended a map in one turn are gone
