The second best Advance Wars game so far.
What's new:
The CO powers have been turned down, a lot! Vehicles/units have been added and removed to make combat more engaging and to limit mech-infantry spamming. You'll be using your brain more often to win. The sound has been upgraded to be more realistic and fit better with a darker story. None of the smiling faces from the previous versions are in this one. There's been a very noticeable shift towards multi/online play, versus single player.
Pros:
Sound is better, gameplay's familiar, storyline's better/different, CO powers aren't miracles anymore, it's another Advance Wars game!
Cons:
Lack of single player unlocks, some units seem under-powered, CO powers won't turn a definite loss into win anymore, no more black bombs!
If you've never played Advanced Wars before, try out a friend's, you'll be hooked. Veterans will have fun, but feel empty afterward, but still fun.
