Video Game Reviews of Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Customer Review: Best game EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, maybe not. But pretty freaking close. It's definitely the best DS game out there.
Dual Strike improves every aspect of the previous versions ten fold. It's the perfect sequel game: Take Advance Wars 2 and add a bunch more COs, units, maps, better graphics, etc., and you have this game.
Pros:
+ Many more COs than the previous version
+ More units
+ New Tag power
+ Ability to use 2 COs at the same time
+ Keeping of old COs and units
+ Better graphics
+ Nice campaign/plot
+ Endless replay value (if you have friends, that is)
Cons:
- Well, the only thing that ISN'T good about this game is if you're an idiot and can't figure out how to use strategies. I'll admit, if you're new to Advance Wars, it WILL take a little while to figure everything out, but that's to be expected. As long as your smarter than a rock, figuring out a good strategy isn't hard.
I'd recommend this game to anyone. That is, unless you suck at strategy; in which case, you might want to think twice about it. Even if you suck at strategy, this game shouldn't take too long to get used to. Just don't get it if you HATE strategy.
Once I got into Dual Strike, I realized that it was the only DS game I'd ever need; until, of course, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin came out (which I have also reviewed). =)
