Advance Wars : Dual Strike vs. Advance Wars : Days of Ruin (DS)

The great hit returns with double the damage into the Nintendo DS. In this special edition review for this month, I will differentiate the two (in my own words) one of the best games for the NDS.

On the Dual Strike you play in the traditional cute guys back from Omega Land, with new CO's and stuff, and introducing the "Tag" matches, where you can play with two Co's at once. Sadly, both of these disappears on Days of Ruin. The game gets darker, and no more cute guys. There would be, umm... ruins.


On the bright side, Days of Ruin offers more units than its predecessors, but it lacks the large amount of officers, considering the fact that the world almost crumbled, and only a handful of people survived. Also, Days of Ruin lets you make a ton of maps, considering the fact that Dual Strike only lets you store up to three.


A little side of the Days of Ruin makes you feel stronger and tougher, while Dual Strike makes you feel life is wonderful and good for you fight against the Black Hole Army. But on Days of Ruin? You fight the Lazarus Army, no more Black Hole guys.(I'll miss their persistence, really.)


Both games are worth your money. Both are good strategy games, not to mention the great characters and bright storyline, and also, the character relations. Don't forget about the good graphics and soundtrack! But the game still need to improve on the game difficulty. The game is still aching hard last chapter but the next they is a cakewalk.
