Advance Wars are my favorite strategy games and I like every one that has been released. The simplicity of the game makes the strategy the focus. It is like chess and better than chess in my opinion. My mind can get so involved in those games I don't think any other game can completely own all of my mind at once. I think I would take it personal if there was someone that said they didn't like the games to my face. Oh the respect I would lose for those that didn't find the beauty of the Advance Wars franchise.
Once I had learned about Advance Wars Dual Strike I tried the game boy advanced Advance Wars games and liked those big time as well. Then the latest came out Days of Ruin. That game is also the shit and I like the apocalyptic setting. There are changes in the game that I think improve upon the strategy. Days of Ruin is the most difficult of all of the games and I like the challenge. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Dual Strike.
I'm a bit irritated with the fact they haven't released another Advance Wars lately. Instead Fire Emblem has taken front seat. I tried out Fire Emblem games and didn't get into it. It is only a matter of time before there will be another. I will have to be patient. There is plenty to do in the existing games and that should take care of me until the next game. It would be excellent if they put out a console version and no battalion wars doesn't count. I want the real shit. I don't want real time strategy, I want turn base.
If you have not played any of the Advance Wars games and if you have a game boy advance or DS you are in luck and can go straight to Ebay for the goods. If you don't have a game boy advanced or DS, in my opinion it is more than worth buying a used DS to play any of the Advance war games.
