>price: Crave Entertainment Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (good challenge "you smarter then a fifth grader?) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Ya, like the game..Just got started on it and it is testing you . Was awed by how it puts you on a particular level according to your age. Its not just a game you have to spell words ,but to also recognize their spelling and if its correct..I was'nt to bad at spelling when "I" was in school but my spelling skills have lagged .Found alot of words I miss spell ..HA.If your a word or spelling fan you'll like this one I think.It will also test you on nouns, verbs,adjetives "seee can't spell."HA.I think its a good game for brushing up on your language skills and spelling.Will be good for kids of all ages i believe since it puts you on a spelling level according to your age.Makes you think"."good for the brain" ha.. I recommend it highly"..』 (It's a spelling game which doesn't speak the words.....) ![]() 『It is a spelling game where they flash the words to you before you type them, and the words are never read out load to the player. Then they make everything timed, so there is pressure to go fast. For someone who is learning a new word and learning to spell it, actually hearing the word is pretty critical. This is what spelling is about...you hear the word and then write it down, but in this case the developers took a few short cuts. My 7 year old son reads at a very high level, but I wanted him to recognize words he hears, so this game really falls for me. Graphics are pretty weak, games aren't horrible, but nothing to write home about. Overall, I think it might be good for someone with a good vocabulary trying to refine their spelling and just have fun playing a game, but I bought this as a educational game for my kids. It might be fun, but I don't see much or any educational value in this game.』 (Great Game) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『My family can't get enough of this. I bought this for my little boy, but the adults have taken over. Great stuff』 (Not as much of a challenge as I had wanted.) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This game is not very exciting or challenging. It started me at level 38 because of my age. It's more of a memory game as they flash the word on the screen then say spell it. The guy talks if he had said the word and shown the definition it would have been better. I'm not really a great speller and wanted to really be helped to get better. The game is just so-so. The sound is like it is playing thru a tin can. The typewriter is not set like a typewriter it is in alphabetical order which slows you down until you get used to it. For young kids is would be okay but not so great for adults.』 (Great for kids...) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I bought this for my second grader and she loves it. I don't think that adults would like it, but for a kid, it is fabulous. Some of its features include flashing words that the kids then have to spell back, and using short definitions to figure out what to spell. My daughter thinks it is so cool that she earns money for the high scores. It is also helping her on her math place values because she is always running to me to tell me the dollar amount that she won. The game also has a list at the end of each mini-game of the words that the child gets wrong. That is helpful. Each level so far seems to have maybe 30 words and they seem easy to me because they are everyday words, but to her, it ends up being challenging. My favorite mini-game she plays is where she either has to pick out the properly spelled word out of commonly misspelled ones and vice versa. In reference to other reviews I have read in cyber-space, this is probably not a game for adults that can spell ok and the hokeyness would definitely get old. That being said, it is the perfect platform for kids. I only wish I could input her spelling lists from school to play with.』 『Your Spelling Bee host, Mr. Niceguy, will introduce the game to you and award dollars and prizes. There are a plethora of word games to test your skills and improve your brain. Opportunities to aquire bonuses by going for broke and the words will increase in difficulty as your progress. Your ultimate aim is to be invited to the Super Challenge and hit the big jackpot!』 『 Spelling Challenges and More > 『 Spelling Challenges and More > 『 Math Play > 『 Math Play > 『 Learn Math > 『 Learn Math > 『 Math Blaster in the Prime Adventure > 『 Math Blaster in the Prime Adventure > 『 Wordfish > 『 Wordfish > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney > 『 Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney > 『 Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations > 『 Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations > 『 Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - Justice for All > 『 Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - Justice for All > 『 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney > 『 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney > 『 Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth > 『 Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth > 『 Hotel Dusk: Room 215 >
>price: Capcom USA Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Chords of Steel Samurai? OBJECTION!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『To be honest, if I knew that the Ace Attorney series was going to take this direction, I would've told the guys at Capcom to stop them altogether. While Apollo and Trucy are cute characters, they've essentially made Phoenix Wright's character into a 7-year scapegoat for this game's plot. That means that if the Phoenix Wright games pick back up, he'll be middle-aged, seasoned, and expected to prevail... unlike the young, inexperienced, by the seat of his pants attorney that came with the first 3 games. My rant aside, the gameplay is noticeably upgraded due to this being an actual DS release rather than a GBA re-release. There are actual FMVs, 3D recreations of crime scenes, and even the courtroom got a once-over. Instead of the Megatama Phoenix Wright had, Justice gets a bracelet that allows him to "perceive". While this was something new, I didn't much care for how it was conveniently permissible in the same court that made Phoenix Wright prove everything with evidence. If you've played the other three Ace Attorney games, of course you'll want to play this one. It's worth that much. I'm glad this game ended so clean-cut that they couldn't readily make an Apollo Justice sequel. Also, in case you hadn't heard, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is due out February 16th of 2010. DO WANT!!』 (Great but not a stellar release) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『It must be a funny thing being Capcom, a game developer well noted for doing quality games where the sequels have very little differences from one to the next. From Mega Man to Resident Evil and now the Phoenix Wright games, each successive installment usually brings with it the occasional improvement or gameplay mechanic not found in previous titles and Phoenix Wright is no different. I mean, it's still the same interface of the "Move/Talk/Examine/Present" screens, the same judge and same courtroom but with different stories and characters and yet they're still fun games. However, as any woman (or man on the defense) will tell you, it's not what you have it's how you use it so while we all know there's not a whole lot of radical changes from the last game "Trials and Tribulations" to this, this game still manages to be fun but something seems lacking and it doesn't have the punch that the previous game had but it's still worth a go. Story: The game centers on Apollo Justice, a new defense attorny with a shiny gold bracelet on his wrist. His first case is the death of a poker player in which the accused is...Phoenix Wright himself. Seems where we last left him, Phoenix has been stripped of his attorney's badge and working as a pianist and poker player. From there, we're introduced to Trucy Wright, a talented and young magician from a very popular and prestigious magician troupe, the Gavin brothers Klavier and Kristoph and uncovering the truth of why Phoenix Wright lost his badge. One thing I loved about Trials and Tribulations was the whole saga involving Dahlia Hawthorne and her attempts at revenge on the Fey family and seeing that last case wind down was...epic to say the least. Even the individual cases were quite fun with some cool characters and twists but I don't know what it is about Apollo Justice but the cases are intricate and full of twists but it wasn't as "page-turner" as the other game was. Even finding out the whole endgame told at the end of the game (har har for wordplay) wasn't as compelling as endings that came before. And the individual cases from a concert to one involving a noodle stand were...odd to say the least. Graphics: Like I said, same courtroom, same judge, same interface with the court records and profiles but the story changes so it comes down to character designs and with that they're mixed. Our opponent as it were is Klavier Gavin, a prosecutor/rock star combo who likes to air guitar and pound the wall behind him is a cool character but he wasn't as...threatening shall we say as other prosecutors. We also have one of the most irritating reporters I've seen and a freakishly weird (not to mention creepy) university student but then we have Ema Skye returning in her cute snackoo-munching glory. There's also some cool 3D videos used to highlight the crime scenes in different ways such as changing angles or giving a good feel on the layout but by the last case, they were few and far between. Sound/Music: Now I gotta say the music is quite catchy and given in appropriate moments, can really add suspense to a scene or make things light-hearted. Naturally the only voice acting ever said is "objection!", "take that!" or "hold it!" though I still find it funny when you get that girlish "objection!" like what Winston Payne used to do. But there's not a whole lot to the music other than its catchyness and voice acting is virtually non-existent so there's not much to say on this part. Gameplay: Same ol, same old, the investigation phase where you gather evidence (where you still can't access the next scene unless you find that one piece of evidence or present something to someone which'll trigger the next scene when you move into a new area), the trial phase where you press statements, offer contradictions and be fined penalties if you're wrong. One new feature added is the ability to look at certain pieces of evidence in a 3D space and rotate or zoom in on them and examine things on them such as markings or prints but it's not really used often as I would like and most of the time they're not vitally important, they're just little asides characters chat about and make comments about. One thing that I did like though was that it was a bit more easier to know what to present whereas I felt in previous games I couldn't figure out why a certain piece of evidence was giving me a penalty when you know it makes sense. The other new addition is in regards to a certain "ability" Apollo has. Like Phoenix and the Psyche-Locks, Apollo has the ability to "perceive" witnesses habits and points out inconsistencies by errors they make. This goes into a super-slow reading of the statement in which you try to find the one visual habit that gives them away when they say a specific phrase. Only problem is you're not told what phrase or what nervous habit to look for and since the top screen doesn't really show the habit in detail, it's kind of hard to tell what to even find. For example, one character has glasses that hides their eyes thanks to lighting (like Kevin in "Sin City") that when in "perceive mode" shows their eyes in more detail and yet the habit is in the eyes and with 5 statements that are reading suupppppeeerrr sllloooowly, it kind of makes it annoying to find that one statement where he decides to actually doing something abnormal. Phoenix Wright games always have a charm about them from the cast of characters, the winding plots and naturally, murder mysteries by themselves are intriguing. Save for a couple of weird plotholes and "wait, now how would...?" moments, they've always been engaging even though this is basically a re-skinned first game. Not as great as previous entries but worth a play. Oh and there's no Maya or Pearl for that matter which is inexcusable.』 (A new face a new beginning...) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Apollo Justice Ace Attorney is the fourth game in the Ace Attorney Series. It starts with a brand new cast and plays similiarly to previous games. The game is broken up into two types of gameplay, investigation and trial. Investigation plays like a point and click adventure where you go along looking for clues and investigation is where you try to find contradictions in witnesses testimony and present evidence as well. This game is fun to play if you are into games such as Hotel Dusk Room 215 (which is a little more serious but good use of DS). Playing this game for the story and characters to me is crucial. I recommend playing the first 3 games to really get a good feel of the games and to also see how they improved as time went on. A good idea too is to check out video clips of the game on websites so you can see how it plays out. I'd say it's good for anyone 13 and older since it requires lots of reading and anyone younger I feel will get bored since they are not blowing up anything in a game. I'm a fan of the series and I say this is a good game for those road trips for people since certain games may be hard to play if you are constantly bouncing up and down on the road haha.』 (amazing game xD) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This is game full of drama and excitement. Eventhough we can no longer play as our favorite character, Phoenix Wright, but this new game still doesn't lack the excitement and the fun that was contained in the first 3 games. The cases, in my opinion, is a little harder than the first three games, and it requires a lot of investigation work, but it's all worth it in the end when you finish the cases. I was so disappointed when I finished the whole game, wanting some more of this fun.』 (Great game, but loses it's steam after the second chapter.) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Pros: -Graphics and sound truly are a step up for the series -Gameplay retains the same PW charm -Forensics add significantly to the fun factor of the game -Chapter 2 is the gameplay pinnacle of the series to date Cons: -Story has continuity issues -Still a very linear series -Solutions can be obscure and frustrating at times -Everything past Chapter 2 is disappointing by comparison -Not much to do with the PW story arc aside from a few returning characters -Very likely the last game in the Ace Attorney series Short synopsis: Still caters to a niche crowd---won't expand the Ace Attorney fanbase beyond what it already is. Retains all the flaws of the PW games without adding much beyond the semi-new (for US gamers) forensics system. Better introduction to the series for new people compared to the original PW games, but not by much. Fun for current fans of the series, although story will disappoint. Detailed review: Having played all of the Phoenix Wright games, I was looking forward to this one. Ultimately, it was a mixed experience. The game starts out strong, with the traditional court-only tutorial sequence (and with a hefty spoiler right at the start for those that have played the previous entries---I can't go into detail here). Users that have played previous entries in the series or are already familiar with the mechanics through other means can skip the following bracketed section. [A summary of the game mechanics for the uninitiated: The core of the game is still the same as it was in the Phoenix Wright games. A crime is committed, you take the case, and begin your own investigation. The game is divided into two separate phases---the "Investigation" phase and the "Courtroom" phase. Traditionally, you will have two of each phases per case in an alternating pattern (i.e., I-C-I-C) although this is not guaranteed, sometimes you will have more than 2 court phases, or just one investigation phase and one court phase. During the Investigation part of the game, you visit varied locales, interview witnesses and suspects, and collect evidence via the "Examine" command. This is the traditional Adventure genre part of the game, and is similar to older PC games like Monkey Island or Maniac Mansion. You spend most of the game in this phase. There is always a marked end to this phase which leads into the Court phase. The Court part of the game is what is truly unique about this series. The Court phase is structured in a manner similar to an actual trial. A witness, suspect, or your client is called to the stand and testimony is given. After hearing testimony, you are able to cross-examine the person on the stand. Cross-examining consists of paging through their testimony, pressing them for more information, and presenting evidence to call out contradictions. The objective is to essentially discredit the testimony and/or reveal new information that leads the case in a new direction (which doesn't always work out in your favor---but this section is linear and you don't have a choice). These portions of the game are markedly shorter than the investigation phases, but the court proceedings further the story, whereas the investigation phases usually only provide information that you have to sort and decode once you get into the courtroom. The obvious objective is to get a "Not Guilty" verdict, which will lead to a epilogue and the unlocking of the next chapter in the game.] Review continues here: Immediately it's obvious that this game, unlike the other Ace Attorney games, is not a GBA port. The character sprites have been revamped and look hand-drawn---they brought back memories of the old SF:Alpha games for the PS1. Additionally, the backgrounds were redone to take advantage of the DS's significantly larger color palette and no longer suffer from the serious dithering and lack of detail they used to. The music has also been updated to CD quality tracks that are also very reminiscent of CAPCOM's PS1 days (which is an excellent thing). It's impressive that even after all of these revamps and updates, that the game still feels familiar and retains that classic Phoenix Wright charm. All of the updates seem like an organic evolution of the original, and players of the Phoenix Wright games will immediately recognize characters, locations, and even the music despite being drastically modernized. After playing through the tutorial, the player is presented with an almost "open world" scenario with multiple objectives to be accomplished during the investigation phase. The investigation portion of the game has (thankfully) been updated to match the way the game played during the DS-exclusive case in the first Phoenix Wright game. Instead of solely relying on moving from location to location, talking through all of the subjects with every person possible, with the occasional "Examine" evidence collection; the game now utilizes a forensic element which makes the investigation part of the game significantly more fun. Players of the first game will be familiar with this forensics concept. In addition to conducting interviews, you will now be responsible for tasks such as dusting for prints on evidence, spraying Luminol to check for blood, and creating plaster casts of footprints embedded in the ground at the crime scene. You will also be required to examine your evidence and interact with it in such a way that can either reveal the true function of the piece of evidence, or expose more evidence inside or on the original piece evidence itself. A final thing worth mentioning before going into the problems this game has is the change to the court proceedings. Gone are the psych-locks from the investigation phases of the second and third Phoenix Wright games. Instead, a new feature was added to the court phase to make up for this. During certain parts of testimony while cross-examining someone, you'll have the option to slow time down and get a magnified view of the person you're cross-examining. During the slow replay of testimony, you examine the witness closely to check for a "tell" (for those who don't play Poker---you're looking for a nervous twitch or some other sign that indicates the person is lying), locating the tell allows you to press the person on the stand for more testimony. With this said, the game is far from perfect. Players of the original Phoenix Wright games will likely be disappointed that this game seems to take place on an alternate timeline that was created for the DS exclusive chapter in the first Phoenix Wright. There are only three returning characters (not counting The Judge), and a few (rather lame) references to other characters in the original timeline are thrown out there. The returning characters also feel almost out of place, which is likely due to the fact that the development team originally did not want a connection to the Phoenix Wright games aside from the "Ace Attorney" franchise name. The game also really slows down after the second chapter. After being teased with a huge amount of freedom (for the series) in Chapter 2, the game quickly brings itself back into an extremely linear, contained world in the subsequent chapters. While it's not a game killer, it's disappointing because it almost feels as though the true potential scope of the game is realized, then quickly yanked away from you as though to tease you. Additionally, the court sequences still feel too linear and "puzzle-like" with only one path to a "Not Guilty" verdict. This path can, at times, be extremely obscure as well, forcing multiple replays because of the "guess and check" method or requiring the help of a FAQ. There is only one "two choice" option at the very end of the game in the very last court session, and it feels like a token choice; since one option leads to a short "bad" ending. It seems that the developers weren't afraid to toy with the Investigation part of the game, but were horrified to change the Courtroom sequences (excluding the new special ability). Finally, the story, even taken out of context of the rest of the series, is also somewhat disappointing. Most of the new characters don't have as much personality as those in the old series did, and a few of the characters are really just dopplegangers of past characters from a story and personality perspective. The ending, while touching, doesn't tie up a number of loose ends. This would be forgivable if not for the fact that the ending doesn't indicate that there will be a second Apollo Justice game.』 『Players star as rookie defense attorney Apollo Justice as he visits crime scenes, questions key witnesses and collects vital evidence before stepping into the courtroom to prove his clients' innocence. Facing Apollo across the courtroom is the highly talented and flamboyant prosecutor Klavier Gavin who, in addition to being a legal genius, is also lead singer with Gavinners, a highly successful rock band with a string of hits to their name. He may be young and inexperienced but Apollo's confident manner and passion, coupled with his unique ability to uncover witnesses' lies by studying their body language, will prove invaluable assets in the courtroom as he pleads the case for the defense.

With that in mind, Civilization Revolution is a great game. It is a stream-lined version of the pc game but is just as much fun. It has all the basics of movement, unit building (including new types that become available as research progresses) and buildings/wonders. Combat plays out on the top screen. There are five save slots (on the game card, not an SD card) available with the option to overwrite an existing save. There are several difficulty levels but I suggest the easiest one first (tutorial) to learn the controls. Different leaders/civilizations can be chosen at the start. Good replay value. Well worth the price.』 (Great game to play at the gym) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I grew up playing Civ 1 and never really connected with any of the other versions. This version? I love. I just got back from the gym where my 30 min bike ride went over 40 mins simply because I was playing and didn't want to put it down. Maybe it isn't as realistic as other games, but it's fun and absorbing.』 (simple but fun) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『a simple version of the game but still fun, graphics are okay at best.

Though it takes a while to understand the controls and the working of the game in the DS, once you get the hang of it, the play becomes self-intuitive. As someone mentioned, there is very little micromanagement in the game but it still has enough things going for it to keep it interesting. The growth of your civilization will depend on your diplomatic stand with your neighbors, battles you need fight and the upgrades you take up. With so many options, each game can last upto hours and all the while it will keep you engrossed. In short, a nice strategy game which you can play without having to boot up your PC.』 (Thank you, Civilization creator, for keeping me from doing anything productive...) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I was slightly wary of this game, as my last venture into the "god" games was the Sims on my PS2, and I hated it. However, my husband is obsessed with the PC versions of this game, and I would get irritated at the amount of time he would waste when he got into the Civilization-zone. Finally fed up, I discovered that they had a version I could play on my recently-purchased DSi. I figured that if he loved it so much then it was worth a try. About a month later, I have to say THANKS A LOT, CIV CREATORS for keeping me from getting anything productive done!!! I'm ready to be committed into Civilization-Addicts Anonymous. It's a great little strategy game with several levels of difficulty. If you're not familiar with the concept, you choose a nation&begin building it from BC years well into the future. You are tasked with building cities and buildings, determining what the focus of that city will be (production? gold? food?), creating armies of varying abilities, keeping the peace or waging war, and researching new technologies, all in the hopes of getting yourself closer and closer to either a domination victory (capture 4 enemy capitals!), a cultural victory (build the United Nations wonder!), a technology victory (be the first nation to make it to Alpha Centari!), or an economic victory (build the World Bank wonder!). After seeing the XBOX version of this very game, plus the various PC versions over the years that my husband has played, I can say that it is definitely a simplified version of the game. However, it's just perfect for a handheld strategy game. There are enough options (choose from a myriad nations, each with their own set of advantages!) and difficulty levels to keep me interested. So interested that I've reverted back into a video-game-obsessed teenage version of myself! ;)』 『Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution DS』 『 Experience the Epic World of Civilization Sid Meier's Civilization® Revolution™ is the latest offering in the legendary award winning Sid Meier's Civilization® series of strategy games, featuring the famous "just one more turn" addictive gameplay that has made this one of the greatest game series of all time.Civilization Revolutiongives you the opportunity to experience the epic world-building of Civilization in a brand-new way.

No little-boy wiggling. The avatar was very positive in her instruction, and you could see how Kai identified with her. He was so engaged with the avatar that he spoke to her.

I was blown away by how much better the presentation had progressed between games--menus, graphics and music in Days of Ruin are far superior to the already great Dual Strike. And more importantly, the game play was further refined. The only drawback to Days of Ruin is the terrible story and dialog, but that's something that Dual Strike also had in spades. If you enjoy tactical RPGs *at all*, or would like to find out if you do or not, go ahead and pick up Advance Wars: Days of Ruin!』 (Great turn based strategy game) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I really enjoy military turn based strategy games, and I've particularly enjoyed Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. I have no played any previous title in the series so I cannot comment on how this game compares to the other games in the series. Days of Ruin is easy to learn, has a great story, plenty of missions, and the right amount of challenge and fun. The game took me over a month to beat and I only played a handful of the training missions. So there's plenty to do for single-player. Most of the earlier missions I did correctly on the first try, most of the later ones took me a second try to beat. I love the ranking system, for each mission completed you get a C, B, A, or S rank and are free to replay earlier missions at any time to improve your score. The last mission took me about a week to beat, I must have tried it about a dozen times before I figured out the right way to do it. That was probably the only frustrating mission in the whole game, but it was so rewarding when I finally beat it. Definitely recommend this game.』 (The War at the End of All Wars) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『The "Advance Wars" games are clever, turn-based strategy titles that take things one map at a time. You play a series of battles as part of a greater picture, and you command one or more teams. Each of your units can perform one action per turn, and when you are finished with all your decisions, the computer (or another player) gets their turn to move. Single player campaigns push through an ongoing storyline complete with its own characters, and often you make the choices about who should command your units: is this battle map mostly water? Better get a good naval commander. No docks to build water units? Grab a commander who's good with planes and use the airport. Each commanding officer ("CO") has special skills they can "charge up" and let loose, and it is balancing your resources with the units you build and the way you fight that all combine to determine your success. Believe it or not, the above details only scratch the surface of the Advance Wars series. I've played the entire Advance Wars series, and up to this point it's been kind of cheery: cartoony animations, cute characters, and often missions play out like a Chess match: "Oops! You got me that time! Drat!" This time around, the gloves are off. Days Of Ruin begins with the premise that in the middle of a global war, the entire planet was smashed by meteors. Civilization fell apart, and now everyone's scrambling to survive. Everything--from the artwork to the story flow--has been reworked. Days of Ruin plays along a darker theme, but is still faithful to the core gameplay that has made this series work so well. Just as with other titles, as the series grows, so does the complexity. While earlier games would walk you through tutorial levels via the single player campaign, Days of Ruin leaves that out of the single-player campaign (you can still access plenty of in-game training though), and gets straight to the story. It still offers network play, unlockable content, and custom maps, but it also adds in some interesting touches throughout. For example, there are small "Practice Maps" that you will find along the way: they're simple, quick-and-dirty skirmishes that you can play any time you like without breaking the story thread. Concepts like "Fog of War" are now counter-balanced: you can build a "Flare" unit that will "light up" a certain radius of squares before your units move in. Transport vehicles can now double as mobile construction vehicles, unpacking over two turns into a "Temporary Airport". It's intriguing, but it might also be difficult for a player new to the series to get into without some practice. If you like strategy games, particularly when they play out like a complex chess match, Advance Wars is an excellent choice. Initiates may have a learning curve adapting to the system, but the effort pays off handsomely: as you learn the ropes, you really start to see how carefully balanced this method of gameplay can be. Creativity is rewarded, and the planning you find yourself putting into your moves is really engaging. Highly recommended, although new players may want to try their hand at one of the earlier titles first.』 (This game makes me forgot the other consoles) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Let me be clear: I am a core gamer -- all of the current (and old) consoles are in my home, but I still play Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. This game is absolutely fun, and challenging! I've had it since it launched, and still playing it to this day. With prologue to the review done, I will move on to what I liked and didn't like. POSITIVES: -Will challenge you! The brain is a muscle, and this game definitely works mines out. I am a person who loves to solve at a core; this game will definitely appeal to the ones who seek to think. -Units have been rebalanced -- prices, new units, some units cut, and strengths/weaknesses. I would say that the biggest change is the naval combat; battleships can now move and shoot in the same turn, and Carriers can now produce Sea Plans (attack both land, and air) - though they have lost their anti-air missile capabilities. -Great story, and surprisingly engaging. -Huge Selection of maps to play on -- campaign, trial (think of them as your pseudo hard campaign), free battle (at least 200 maps there), and you can create and download maps. -Very addicting with it's intuitive design. -Units can now level up three times (they gain a little attack and defense with each level); this doesn't break the game - but it does make you think a lot more about making sure to strategically keep as many units alive through combat as possible. The level of the unit could be the difference between the a win or a loss. NEGATIVES: -They took out the War Room -They took out Haichi's store -- I always enjoyed buying things; so I do miss that aspect -Less CO's to choose from -They don't rank you in Free Battle (this is small). In the end, the positives highly outweigh the negatives, and I'm truly happy with this game. A must buy for any strategy fans. This game is truly a refined experience.』 『Almost 90% of mankind has been killed off following a devastating meteor strike that has caused a massive dust cloud to blot out the sun.
