Editorial Review: Product Description: Almost 90% of mankind has been killed off following a devastating meteor strike that has caused a massive dust cloud to blot out the sun. Scattered survivors pick through the wreckage, and the remnants of several military superpowers patrol the ravaged landscape, some factions protecting the innocent while the others prey upon them. The two rival world superpowers, Rubinelle and Lazuria, continue to fight among the ruins of their countries, the few surviving military leaders of each side carrying on the conflict begun before the catastrophe. In their wake, various warlords rise to power, seizing scarce food rations from the defenseless survivors and attempting to assert their dominance in the absence of law and order. Follow the Rubinelle COs Will, Brenner, and Lin as they embark on a mission to rescue as many of the survivors as possible, with the help of the mysterious Isabella, an amnesiac girl who seems to know vital military secrets, and various other sympathetic factions. ESRB Rated E10 For Ages 10 and Up From the Manufacturer: Advance Wars has been reborn. Set amid a world in chaos and boasting new characters and settings, the latest game in the series features a gritty look, an engaging storyline and online battles and map trading. It's the most stunning Advance Wars ever.
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin features a new group of COs and supporting characters, as well as a new setting. After a terrible asteroid strike that leaves few survivors, the world is in chaos. Toxic dust clouds are choking out the food supply. New diseases strike without warning. Terror runs rampant as people do whatever is necessary for their own survival. Against this background, one small band fights to restore human dignity in a world gone mad, but the mission seems impossible. Their own country is being led by a dictator. Their former enemy thinks only of revenge. And behind the scenes, a scientist with unbelievable power dreams of eliminating the human race once and for all.Game-play Modes:
Multiplayer has always been the backbone of the Advance Wars game play, and the addition of playing via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection makes it even better. Here's a brief overview of the online experience:

 Rating:  - Great strategy gameI had the original Advance Wars game on the GBA. This game is very similar. There are areas where you can use your stylus, but I've use to use the feature, as I prefer doing everything with the buttons. Honestly, the dual screens aren't utilized very well in this game, but it was never a problem to begin with in the original GBA game, so I can't complain. The battles are well-thought out, offering differing ways to complete the same mission. There are a TON of units, each offering their ... Read More Rating: - The best to dateIn my opinion this is the best Advance Wars to date. They changed how CO's work and their powers to add more balance to the game. This is also the first Advance Wars with a story that keeps you entertained. Definatly buy this if you enjoyed any of the past games or if you are interested in the series. Rating: - A step back from Dual Strike, but still excellentThis review is geared more toward people who have played previous incarnations of the Nintendo/Advance Wars series. If you haven't played any of the previous games, then start now! Even if you only have a middling interest in strategy games, you'll probably enjoy this game (as well as its predecessor: Advance Wars: Dual Strike). The Advance Wars series provides some of the most lasting games in the Nintendo portable library. If you've played Advance Wars: Dual Strike, you'll feel like ... Read More Rating: - Best GameBoy game I have played so far.I have always enjoyed wargames from hex maps to computer based. This game is clearly the best of this genre that I have played on any version of the GameBoy. I am even considering buying a second DS just so my son and I can play head to head. The fog of war is very well done. The amount of chance involved in battles does a good job of requiring good strategy but keeping outcomes from being completely deterministic. The relative strengths of the units keep the game well balanced and make ...

I give the game's developers credit for trying new things in DoR and trying to take the game in a new direction. Some things that are great additions to the series include: -Wifi! Its great to be able to play and share maps. -Actually, thats about it. The single-player campaign ... Read More |
