Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a very addictive game.

Normally I don't like turn based strategy games much. I find them slow and boring and too complicated to be fun. Being of a portable gaming device has benifited the Advance Wars series of games greatly. You only get what is essential to the game. It's this simplicity that makes the game so exciting and fun with its fast pace.

The graphics on Dual Strike not much better than GBA quality but are good enough.

The sound is excellent.

The controls are good although at times it seems as if the touch screen was an afterthought but I guess those familiar with the earlier GBA Advance War games will feel right at home and not need to use the touch screen.

Dual Strike is a fantastic game. There is a lot to keep you interested for long time; different types of games, the ability to design and swap maps and of course multiplayer battles.
