For those in the know, the best strategy games aren’t on the PC or home consoles but Nintendo portables. This war game is fast and accessible without ditching complexity in the level of control it gives you over your huge army of tanks, planes, and warships. The superb online multiplayer mode is the real draw, and there’s even a chance to make and share your own maps. If you’ve been turned off by past Advance Wars games, give this latest entry a try. The streamlined rules, new units, and improved graphics make it a winner.

Manufacturer's Description
Meteor storms, earthquakes and tidal waves devastate the Earth, causing 90 percent of the world’s population to perish. The sky has been blocked out by ash, yielding little sunlight. In a world ravaged by a domino effect of catastrophic events, those lucky enough to survive are divided into warring factions fighting to drive the direction of a new civilization.
As the CO of an army you must defeat the enemy army by either destroying all their units or taking over there HQ building, although dependant on the stage there could be further rules of victory. Each stage brings a new map, and challenge, as the CO of the army you will need to take control of your units and understand there strengths and weaknesses in order to attack the enemy efficiently.
Strategy fans will rejoice over the long-awaited inclusion of Wi-Fi play, which adds depth and re-playability. Use Nintendo WiFi Connection and battle against a friend halfway across the world, or use the map editor to create, trade and battle on your own custom maps.

More than 60 exciting single player missions.
