Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Nintendo has removed some previous features and added a few new ones, but when it's all added up I miss the old more than I like the new. Days of Ruin still delivers the fun, though, and strategy fans will once again have their hands full.

"Fortunately though, Dark Conflict remains hospitable in most of the areas that really matter to its fans and the people finally tempted to give it a go, and the result is probably the better of the two DS versions. "

Advance War's new look and feel won't appeal to a lot of fans, but the series gameplay remains intact.

"However, Days of Ruin has a trump card: online multiplayer. It’s easily the most important new feature; given the stunted single-player mode, it’s vital to the game’s longevity."
