1UP review of Advance Wars posted

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin: 8.5 (1UP)

That's a great score, and it seems their only complaint was the fact that they took out so many unlockables. Ultimately, I don't care about unlockables in Advance Wars, and I'd rather have online play than those unlockables. Hopefully, Gamespot can look past that small part of the package and give it a nice solid 9.0. :)

Screw the GS score, if it even comes out this week (exageration). I rather have GT or IGN score, not paid crap (the Gs reviews)peter1191

From the sounds of it the story is better, the units are more balanced and it has extensive online features

However the characters seem less charming and it looks as if they've taken quite a few of the extra features out
