Advance Wars: Dual Strike

this is the best strategy game ive ever played. it is extremely tactical and indepth, but also easy to pick up and play for quick journeys. probably the best game on DS so far.

If you've got a DS and you haven't got this game, WHY!!!!!!!!! You crazy foo' . This is one of, if not the best DS game out there. A game for all ages this stategy/blow-em-up is well worth it. Tonnes of stuff to keep you goin and lots of stuff to unlock. If you like any game you should get this. I would recommend this to everyone. 10/10

This is not just the best turn based strategy game on the Nintendo DS, it's one of the best turn based strategy games made on any console. It's that good. An absolute must for strategy fans. This will keep you busy for months.

The style of the game is perfect for play on the DS. I even think you should buy the older versions on the GBA to play before you play this 1, or even after! They are fantastic fun and suit hand held gaming perfectly. Accessible for the novice player and tough enough for the most hardcore of strategy fans. Using a ranked system for missions you can always get hundreds of hours replay value trying to reach the high grades. A must buy!

This game is generally a turn based strategy with Nintendo cartoon style graphics, but don't let that put you off, because beneath the looks is a game that even the hardcore could find difficult.

As mentioned in Play.com's description, following on from the last two games on the Game Boy Advance, the Black Hole army has regrouped with new CO's and weapons, and are once again attacking the Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth nations. As a result, the four nations combine forces to become the Allied Nations to fight back against Black Hole.

There are new CO's and new units to command and use, including the massive Megatanks and Black Hole's Black Boat amongst others. New maps are also included in the game amongst the other maps from the previous two, as well as your usual map editor.

There are some new modes as well to test you, including a combat mode (Make an army out of a certain amount of funds and beat all the CO's with that army) and a survival mode (EG. A time mode where you have 30 minutes to beat all the CO's).

This is one of the best DS games to be released so far with its stylish looks and solid gameplay with enough modes and gameplay variations to keep you going for a long time.

Along with Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros., this is a game that NEEDS to be in your DS collection.
