Strategy and suspense play a greater role this time around, not just because the CPU is more intelligent, but also because each new cast member brings different abilities to the battlefield. [Fall 2003, p.34]

One of my favorite games of all time. The innovations are pretty interesting and make the game more enjoyable.

Somehow the developers manage to improve on perfection with this, the best military strategy game on any platform. One of those games I have completed multiple times and never, ever tire of.

Full of all the exciting, addicting gameplay of the first game, and best of all, there's more of it. And it's more challenging. And there's a map editor! And there's...
Advance Wars 2 doesn't take any hard turns from the formula established in the original... and this is one of those rare cases where an overall lack of innovation is probably a good thing in the end.
Sure, it's a classic, but it's so obviously a £35 mission pack, and is probably double the price it should have been. Unless you were utterly captivated by the original and spend every day pining for more, or never owned the original, it's hard to justify why you should shell out for it.
Happily, no improvement over the original's deep and difficult strategizing.
An absolute classic that is full of strategy and charm. An excellent strategy game is indeed possible on the GBA!

Love it! An incredible strategy game, almost like chess, it made me fall in love with the entire genre of strategy games, I had lots of fun playing this as a kid

A massive improvement over the already-great original Advance Wars. It's been expanded in terms of story, graphics, characters, balance, and gameplay. One of my favourite games on the GBA.

As good as the first game and is something that all turn based strategy fans will love

My advice is to stay far away from this game! What’s with these fools rating it 10 ?

Summary Just when you thought you'd seen the last of them, the Black Hole Army is storming back in this sequel to the award-winning Game Boy Advance strategy game. With new COs under his command, Sturm is leading a new invasion force, and it'll take advance strategy to stop him!
