Advanced Wars: Duel Strike

[Emperor Pan I]

Picked this up for my DS last week. Damn I can't believe I lived so long without it. If there was ever a reason to buy a Nintendo DS it is likely this and Castlevania. I mena, I had the GBA versions, and they were good. This is just as good, but better. No way around it.

'Nuff said.

Amazing.freakin'.game!

That's all there is to it. It makes excellent use of both screens, and the story is just plain fun.

My friend has played that, he is enjoying a lot. Yet, he wanted me to convince him not to buy a DS.

I have Advance Wars 2, but 3 things keep me from buying this game:

- I don't see much change in gameplay other than new units and the two CO usage.
- $30 for a game that's more like an expansion pack seems iffy.
- Some COs are said to be majorly imbalanced.

There are more than 2 new Cos.
Expansion pack? there are 6 new units (i think) and new buildings.
What I really like about this game is they didn't mess with the formula. Advanced wars was a great game, Advanced wars 2 had the same design and built on that. Advanced wars DS did the same as the last two, added some nice new units, some 3d graphics, but ultimately kept the same kick ass principles.

The Cos from what I can tell are not overpowered, and I ahve palyed alot of skirmish games agaisnt the Computer. Each CO has it's own power, and you gotta se that for the situation.

He meant that, other than CO-partnering, there didn't seem to be much change
