I read about the site Gamefruit in a blog yesterday and I just had to go their and make a game review. So what do you think?

Advance Wars: Dual Strike

DS | Reviewed By: Graydon77222

This game is the latest game in the series of advance wars titles, and has come out on the DS in as much glory as ever. This is a game of strategy and war that will keep you at bay for hundreds and hundreds of hours. The game has many of the modes that is similar to the series, such as: Campaign, War Room, Versus, Battle Maps, and the ever so famous Design Room. These modes all include there variety and strategy from battles in the sky to naval battles of sheer destruction, that will keep you playing and playing again.

There are also a whole bunch of new features that will add hours and hours of play time because of the sheer number of new features. One of the biggest new features that have kept me playing is the new type of game called a DS battle, where instead of the one battle on the bottom screen you fight it out on both screens with Dual Fronts that will test your strategy and wits to the limit. Also some of new features to the game include; a whole bunch of all new CO’s, A new mode called Survival which will set you on a set of maps with a limitation, also there is an all new combat mode where you fight in real time to capture or destroy the enemy’s HQ, and an all new experience and Medals system which will have you wanting to collect and level up all of the CO’s in your arsenal.

Music – 10/10

The music in this game is amazing and fits all parts of the game play perfectly. Also after you beat the campaign you can unlock a sound room which gives you access to listen to all of the music in the game.

Game play – 9/10

The game is very fun and challenging with good strategy and game play. The units all have there strengths and weakness’ that will have you building this and that. The only thing keeping this category from a ten is the somewhat boringness if the battle goes to the 50+ turns.

Replay Ability – 10/10

This game has so many maps and scenarios that you would never be able to finish it all in the quick 10 or 15 hours that some games take to beat. There are so many different modes you can play all the maps in that you will never run out of fun. Also you can create endless amounts of maps that will let you play on your own creations.

Graphics – 9/10

The graphics in the game are all amazing and fit into the graphics style of the game; because of there kid-ish looks it makes it fun to watch the battle animations between different types of units. The only thing is that in some battles for instance if a tank is shooting at a helicopter it will have the same animation as shooting an infantry but have the bullet trails going up which sort of puts down the professional ness a bit.

Overall - 9.5/10

If you are a long time fan or a new person to the series of advance wars I suggest that you buy this game because of the tons and tons of fun you will have playing it.
