Strengths: Gameplay

Weaknesses: Odd Story

Summary: Advance Wars 2 Black Hole Rising is the sequel to one of the hit games on the Game Boy Advance. It has classic 2D turn based strategy gameplay that is ever so addicting. The game looks fantastic and is just a blast to play. The game can be challenging but for a game like this that is a good thing as it keeps you busy. The story is a little on the bad side but luckily it wont affect the game any. It is a very good game, and a very good sequel for a very popular game. Nintendo delivered on this one.

Strengths: Great strategic gameplay, good graphics

Weaknesses: Not much storyline

Summary: Advance Wars 2 is an excellent strategy game for the Gameboy Advance that features and easy to pick up battle system that is in depth enough for strategy pros. The graphics are fun, cartoony, and really nice to look at. The characters and vehicles are unique and you can really have a great time with this game. I'm not a huge fan of strategy games, but I'd suggest checking this one out if you are looking for a change of pace.

Rating: 8

Time with product: 2 Years

Strengths: Tons of Replay, Single & Multi Cart Replay

Weaknesses: Not Much Changed Or Added Since The First Advance Wars

Summary: Advance Wars 2 is a turn based strategy game in which you move army units around a grid based board while fighting against enemies that plays much like games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts or Shinning Force. While it's a sequel it is very much like the first Advance Wars without adding much of anything yet it retains everything about the first Advance Wars which made it so much fun. I would strongly recommend Advance Wars 2 to anyone that likes turned based strategy games and or gamers that liked the first Advance Wars as while it doesn't really take the series to new places it is very well done and still works well.
