    i could accept the quality of graphics and gamplay on old SNES but that was years Ago . seems like every DS fan is blinded by some loyalty to nintendo.

    Cant belive that they are churning out this crap. games like these where all the rage 12 years ago and it seems like the DS is the only hand held system that low enough specs to be capable of playing this drivil. and i cat belive they are charging £25 for a 12mb game. when wil the rest of us relise that nintendo are over charging us for such crap.

    It's just like the original which was just like the second which was just like this one. Just save yourself money and buy the original.

    It's the expanded portfolio of vehicles and strategic subtleties and wealth of new commanding officer combos that really make this game sing... Result? Super-addictive strategy gaming. [Sept 2005, p.118]

    Thank heavens, then, for the brilliant Survival mode. Of all Dual Strike’s little reinventions it’s the only one to twist the template into a persuasive new shape. [Sept 2005, p.97]

    It's a pretty big step up from "Advance Wars 2," and the new dual-CO tagging system adds a new dimension to the strategy that actually works quite well. [JPN Import]
