    I liked the game, but you couldn't skip those frieking tacky CUTSCENES! also, durring Wi-Fi play, some cheaters would shut their power off and cut the connection 3 seconds before they lost.Cheaters. By the way if you happen to play against me on wi-fi, my screen name is "war-pig"

    Horrible Horrible game... It's one of those siituations where you think this game could be really cool. But a terrible camera combined with the sense that you're playing a tutorial for the whole game makes this one of the worst games ever. Don't waste your time with this one.

    A great follow-up for a great original. The new IR and motion controls mostly improve the experience, and improved ally AI make commanding troops much easier.

    My first time playing a Battalion Wars game and I find it super fun. Multiplayer is the best. Awesome missions to complete that aren't just "capture the flag" or Deathmatch. Co-op multiplay is my favorite. The game overall is pretty easy to control with a large arsenal of soldiers and vehicles. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for something different.

    Funny game. Quite entertaining. I like the visuals, sounds and gameplay. but the campaign has too many mission with a lack of choice. most of the mission have to be accomplished in a certain way. I also miss some more coop-missions.

    Excellent. Easilly one of the best Wii games out there. The only real bad thing about this is that it lacks offline multiplayer. But since nearly everyone has internet support for their wii, or at least can get a wi-fi adapter, It's pretty inconsequential. Solid single player. Solid multiplayer. Solid game.

    This game is worth a rent... but not a buy. Its rather good but gets old quickly. It seems to have no replay value what so ever (as opposed to advance wars). I was kinda hoping for something like army men or something like that but.... it didn't really suit me.

    One of the best Wii games for sure. Very challenging campaign with an amazing multiplayer. One of the very few games that offered asymmetrical gameplay in the MP mode "Assault".

    This is a fun strategy and unique game. It's very rewarding for a plan to be successful. And also to blow stuff up. The only compliant I have is when you lose units over bad luck or when things are out of your control. Mainly with air units. I set them to wait mode, but they keep picking fights and going to the exact place I don't want them to go. And then they get killed because thatThis is a fun strategy and unique game.

Mainly with air units. I set them to wait mode, but they keep picking fights and going to the exact place I don't want them to go. And then they get killed because that place had anti air defense. I lost a bomber in the 2nd to last mission because of that. Also the multiplayer mode is no longer around. You weren't missing too much expect maybe the co op mode. It wasn't much. 3 game modes and 4 to 6 maps each. The only thing I hear about it is that assault mode was badly unbalance. The difficulty is not as hard as the first game, but by endgame it is up there. But this one that you might want to check out.… Expand

    This game is, in my opinion, one of the best Wii games released. The Wii's motion controls feel nice and at home in this game, something that I feel is missed in a lot of other games in the genre on the Wii. I find the campaign to be short and not all that difficult, but the game made up for this in its online mode, which has unfortunately been taken down.

    The series' transition to the Wii has produced mixed results. [Dec 2007, p.82]

    In the end, the formula is shallow and the experience marred by too many small problems. That said, it is a likable and fun Wii title that merges qualities from the action and RTS genres into a one hybrid genre.

    I really think that in terms of overall storyline, not to mention the variety of missions, soldiers, weapons and vehicles, this sequel has really one- upped its predecessor. When you additionally consider the mostly- intuitive controls, sleek presentation and fun online modes, you have the recipe for a great new installment to the sleeper franchise.
