I'm thinking about buying one of them, but I'm not sure of which one to pick. I saw that Dual Strike got a high score, but Days of Ruin seems darker and more serious, something that I think I might like more. Which one do you guys think I should choose?
I would say get the Dual Strike....theres no online play but the story and characters are great.I like the red army (andy,sam) and the black hole army.In days of ruin theres just a bunch of emos and story is **** and ok theres an online play...i only played like 2 hours then it got booring and i sold it...i still have my dual strike wich is much more better. (MY OPINION)
I have both, and I like Days of Ruin better. The battle mechanics flow better in Days of Ruin, and the CO Powers can't single-handedly win a fight like they can in Dual Strike, which resulted in a few surprising losses. Additionally, there is a greater balance of land and air troops in Days of Ruin, due to some new units. On the other hand, Dual Strike has some unique two-screened missions, which can either be really fun or disappointing, depending on how your partner's AI handles the upper screen.
So, if you're asking me to recommend one to you, I'd choose Days of Ruin.

Someone in this post said Days of Ruin story sucks. Do you feel the same way?

I played through and own both and DoR story is defiantly better than DS and so is the gameplay.

Alright. I'm going to buy a copy and see if it's fun.
get em both but if your looking to buy just one it depends, DS is a direct game of the original series but DoRis more serious and and you dont need to know about an original story
