5 out of 5 stars War Chess   August 26, 2004
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This game is basically chess, with more units, you can move all of your units per turn, and you can create units. It is challenging, but it is very fun. Not to mention its a gameboy game, so you can play it anywhere :)

5 out of 5 stars A Great Turn Based Strategy Game   July 6, 2004
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Advanced Wars is everything you could ask for in a strategy game. If you're like me and you love turn based strategy then look no further, Advance Wars is definately up to par with the host of other tactical RPGs for GBA. While it's not an rpg by any means i can't see anyone who likes Final Fantasy Tactics not falling in love with this game. I love turn based strategy and Advance Wars is definately pretty high up on the list of must owns for the genre.

The lack of an RPG element (which has pretty much taken over turn based strategy games in recent years) is somewhat of a blessing. Don't get me wrong i enjoy building up characters but it's definatly a nice change of pace to be able to just jump in and start playing without worrying about much else.

It's also worth mentioning that Advance Wars is fairly difficult. The extensive tutorial while somewhat annoying in its length is probably necessary for the vast majority of gamers. There are quite a few battles where one mistake will easily put you out of commission.

Advance Wars definely deserves 5 Stars


5 out of 5 stars Frickin' Addicting!   June 8, 2004
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Man ... I just got totally sucked into this game. It's a lot of fun. Not an action game at all ... you have to use your head. I think if you liked Pikmin for the GC, you'll like this game. And, I'll go the other way on this one then too ... if you like this game ... make sure you get Pikmin on the GameCube.


5 out of 5 stars How to learn turn based wargames.   April 3, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

You already know the game's great reputation from the many other reviews; I want to add here that this classic is a perfect game for learning how to Turn Based Wargame.

1) The later version called Advance Wars 2 is an upgrade in many areas including graphics and weaponry. But this original version, while indeed challenging, is more friendly to the beginner (less difficult to win). One can always sell it right here later, and then upgrade.

2) One old 2001 or 2002 issue of "Nintendo Power Advance" magazine (usually available on Ebay auctions) featured a long in depth strategy guide to this exact game (pages 36 to 60 are all devoted to this first version of Advance Wars). Find that particular issue ( I think it was volume 2) for help while advancing from recruit to grognard.

3) If buying used, a cartridge which also includes the original printed manual (game guide booklet) will help orientate the player to gameplay procedures and options.

Salute!
