    War isn't hell

    Advance Wars is a fine example why people should consider to own a Game Boy Advance. It's a strategy game and as you know, this genre lacks everything when it's transported to the consoles. Now this is a strategy game fo... Read Full Review

    First war strategy game in a while

    First off I’m letting you know I love strategy games and I bought this because it reminded me of “WAR 2410” for the SNES my favorite strategy game ever released in the US…. Ok so you start off by customizing the game ... Read Full Review

    Who could imagine that a GBA strategy game could be better than most of the strategy games on PC? Not me!

    The graphics isn't the best feature in this game. The visuals is good but nothing as extraordinary as, say Metroid Fusion. But that's neither not needed for a strategy game in this class. The music is very good ... Read Full Review

    Tactics, style and a touch of class.

    I haven’t played any real strategy games on my GBA since Nobunaga's Ambition and knowing the rave going for Advance Wars I just had to try it out. So I start out learning the game by doing the training, learning how each... Read Full Review

    Near-perfect on-the-go strategy gaming.

    AW is just what I wanted in a portable strategy game. It has enough units to stay interesting and enough missions that you won't be done in a few hours. The Campaign mode has a story that won't interest anyone, as it... Read Full Review

    Excellent gameplay to go along with a not so excellent story.

    This was the first game I played through on the Gameboy Advance, its also largely the reason I bought one to begin with. It reallly is in my opinion the perfect type of game to play in portable form. It does not require ... Read Full Review

    It seems as simple as Checkers but is more complex than Chess could ever be.

    When I first saw screenshots of Advance wars, I thought "this will never work" it looked too simple and cartoony to be able to rival the likes of Alpha Centauri. But I was so wrong, below the cartoony colors and Anime ch... Read Full Review

    Only for catalans.

    Aquest ha sigut un dels jocs pels quals vaig comprar la Game Boy, la veritat és que aquest tipus de jocs m´atrauen molt, vaja el fet de poder jugar-hi a qualsevol lloc gràcies a la Game Boy. La veritat és que poder juga... Read Full Review

    Finally a nice strategy game for something other then the PC, and it's even turn-based.

    The game play is good, and there are lots of ways to play the game, you can go up against computerized opponents in a sort of skirmish mode. Or your friends if you are hooked up by a link cable. The missions are pretty... Read Full Review

    Should have been called Awesome Wars instead.

    Yeah, why call it Advance Wars when this game is that awesome. Seriously, I never thought simplistic gameplay like this could entertain me as much as it did. This is a must own. At first looking at the little sprites ... Read Full Review
