One of the best aspects of Advance Wars is the sheer amount of things you can do. If you choose not to play the Campaign mode, you can still fight and earn battlefields in the War Room, or can get friends together and play multiplayer on either one GBA or link up to four GBAs at one time.
There’s no question. You must play this game, at least through the field training. It’s just so amazing.

One of my favorite games of all time. I discovered my love for military strategy thanks to this wonderful game.

Military-style strategy game that's easy to pick up and play but challenging to master. Engrossing, addictive and the turn-based format lends itself perfectly to portable gaming. One of the very best strategy titles you can buy.

A simply addicting combination of the best RTS and strategy elements make for one hell of a gaming experience.
Deep and easy to learn, and it contains a level of replay rarely witnessed in handheld gaming.
Offering a perfectly balanced and finely tuned experience that proves both addictive and immersive. A very complete and attractive package, overall, and one that everyone will enjoy.
It's brilliant and fun turn-based strategy with more replay value than you could possibly ask for. This isn't boring turn-based strategy where you spend 15 turns setting up your troops to fight the inevitable battle, no sir.
I never had so much fun NOT playing a game. You see, whether you share one GBA or link several up, you don't get to do anything when it's not your turn. [Oct 2001, p.156]
One of the best strategy games ever made, and a timeless classic. The playtime and the amount of enjoyment you can get out of all of the featueres is insane.

Advance wars is an enjoyable if a little monotonous strategy game. The art style and general presentation still holds up 20 years later. And the music while good gets way over used and kind of lacks variety. The gameplay is fun and I really enjoyed the strategic elements that go into playing it. But the game I feel does tend to get very repetitive after a while of playing but as a handheld game it does work for just picking up and playing for short bursts. And while I liked the many characters in the games campaign the story is rather barebones and underwhelming. But still a fun experience non the less

A cute and simple strategy game which presents a variety of intriguing challenges alongside a fun learning curve. Advance Wars is especially notable for its unique "round table" multiplayer which is executed very well, especially for friendly and informal groups. Advance wars is a little bit slow-paced and built around some very old, tired grid-strategy game-design principles, but it is still fun nevertheless.

El problema con Advance Wars esta en su curva de dificultad, volviéndose bastante difícil rápidamente con el paso del tiempo. Por lo que es bastante normal quedarse atascado durante horas o incluso días en un solo nivel. También el juego presenta problemas en la IA, ya que la IA a veces se queda a veces salteándose turnos de manera infinita hasta que vos hagas algo que "atraiga su atención". Y por ultimo, no olvidemos que esto es un "juego de estrategia". En un juego de estrategia medianamente decente como por ejemplo Age Of Empires, empiezan ambos bandos con recursos igualados y tropas, sin embargo, en este juego empiezas siempre con desventaja y esto es un problema en los niveles con niebla de guerra, ya que la IA abusa de la artillería. Tu no puedes ver al enemigo incluso si no se ponen en un bosque pero ellos si a ti a no ser que te escondas! Por que?! La música, la idea principal y los gráficos me encantaron, y hubiera sido uno de mis juegos de GBA favoritos si no hubiera sido por sus problemas bastante graves. No hay nada mas frustrante que quedarse 2 horas en un nivel para luego perder y tener que comenzar de cero. Si, es innovador lo se, pero recuerden esta pequeña frase: "Innovación no quiere decir calidad". Los juegos que han hecho historia por sus mecánicas nunca antes vistas pueden no ser tan buenos de jugar a día de hoy por no haber envejecido bien. Son muy pocos los juegos que realmente siguen siendo joyas para los estándares actuales...

While appearing to be a strategy game on the surface, Advance Wars frequently devolves into trial and error. In maps with fog of war, enemy unit locations are expected to be memorized through repeated playthoughs of the same map. Repetitive and unrewarding, Advance Wars pads out a small modicum of content with clunky and slow missions, bafflingly full of lifeless storytelling and cringeworthy writing. A poor effort all around.

Summary The battle lines have been drawn, and an elite group of sly strategists are massing troops at your borders. You'll have to command ground, air and naval forces if you hope to survive the coming wars, and it won't be easy. With 114 maps to battle on and both Single-Pak and Multi-Pak link modes, Advance Wars brings turn-based strategy to a...
