I have a friend who is selling me AW Days of Ruin and AW Dual Strike. Howerver, I am not sure if I have to buy both or just one. What would you recommend me? Also, I was wondering if any of these games support multiplayer mode with one single card? Is it good the multiplayer (local - single one card)? All suggestions are welcome but please be sure you have played both games. Thanks!

Well I suggest you go with "Days of Ruin", its really awesome (even thought both of them are), but if you have to choose, go with "Days of Ruin".

EDIT: Also, "Days of Ruin" offers local multiplayer support for up to 4 players (including voice chat),

"If the 150 maps that the game comes with aren't enough, there's also a fully featured map editor that works in tandem with the game's online abilities, allowing you to upload your custom maps and share them with friends. "

-GameSpot Review of the Game "Advance War: Days of Ruin"

Its really good, I reccommend you choose it.

If you check the GS score, Dual Strike got a higher score. I never played the game, but I remember a few people saying they liked Dual Strike more.

That's true, yet "Days of Ruin" is ranked 47-1,588 in DS games, while "Dual Strike!!" is ranked 59-1,588 in DS games.

It's really up to the player, I reccomend you check both games out a bit yourself, here are the links to their pages in the GameSpot website:

Dual Strike!!: http://uk.gamespot.com/ds/strategy/advancewarsds/index.html?tag=result;title;1

Hope this helps, Sincerely:

I would suggest you go with Days of ruin. The gameplay is more balanced out and units feel less "cheap"

Get Days of Ruin ASAP, it's become quite rare. DoR is still easy to find, so you couldget it later, if you enjoy the first.

You just contradicted yourself. But yeah, Dual Strike is kind of hard to find. I think I remember someone saying they bought it for like $5 at Target. Is this possible?

Exactly. They took out the ultima-ground powerhouses from Dual Strike -.-, every map requires more strategy than Dual Strike did.

Get whichever game you want, it doesn't matter. I personally prefer Days of Ruin and here is 2 reviews to make you want it. I also think DoR has wifi mode.
