Advance Wars (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2001)

Ive owned this game before, but it left my possesion. However, not before I played it for countless hours. Its a great strategy game that I highly recomend to anyone who loves a good chess match, and even might like the whole war era feel. Tanks, Bombers, Fighters, Submarines, Infantry, Direct fighters, Indirect fighters; all these elements combine in this turn based game. You can play the main story line, kicking butt all the way to enemy lines, or test your skills in the war room, where you can pick hundreds of maps to fight on. And if that does'nt satisfy you, there are tons of unlockable features, as well as hidden alternate game endings based on players choices. The games has a variety of characters with whom you command your armies. Each character has a unique ability about them, and when thier co power meter fills up, they unleash thier power on the enemies! Advance Wars is a game with HOURS of play time; the game SCREAMS replay value. The reason: you are able to make maps yourself, with a map editor. Create challenging courses for you and a computer or you and a friend can duke it out on. You can even send maps to a friend and vice versa. Even if you only have ONE game cartridge, its STILL 2 players. Even better, with ONE game you can play with up to 4 PLAYERS.

This game is perfection, as most of the Advance Wars series is as well. I highly recomend that you purchase this, as no gameboy player should be without its experience.

This game doesn't show its age. Still a must have for strategy fans, even people not much into turn-based strategy games should like this fine crafted title. If you have a GBA/DS/DSLite, this is the game you should own and play.

One of the best handheld strategy games ever made, from the simple, solid gameplay to the fantastic design. I've been looking for this title for ages, I'm so glad to finally own it. The price was great, and it arrived promptly and in perfect contition. Thanks!

The game is a great game to get into. It is a turn based strategy game that has simple graphics and a decent story line. Great game to play if you do not have time to keep playing something cause it allows you to pick up from the middle of the battle.

Bought the game because I heard good things about it, and I found out why. The strategy of your campaign, great fun in the war room, and it let's you build a map for vs. play. Plot's a little thin, but you don't really need one to get into the action. I recommend it to all persons willing to use their brains.
