It's called 'Advance Wars: Dark Conflict' in the U.K and has a completely different translation to the U.S game. However the story is still awful and the new characters annoying. That said, this is the best game on the DS - no question. Don't bother using the stick either just stick to the old-fashioned button control system. It does provide a real challenge - particularly in some of the set 2-player, 3-player and 4-player maps - the ones where you begin with considerably less resources than your opponent and must win through attrition. Lifespan is infinite thanks to the addition of wi-fi battling. Simply marvellous...

Lets just say that this game is so awesome, I can't stay logged on long enough to type out a proper review for this game. I already tried to praise this game twice, but time is a factor. Let me just say it is the Advance Wars for the fans of the game, but I still recommend it to people who don't know the game. It gets rid of the "HEY WE JUST WON! WE MAY HAVE LOST A GOOD HUNDRED MEN OUT THERE, BUT THAT'S OK. HEY PAL, WE SHOULD BATTLE EACH OTHER WITH OUR REMAINING MEN SO WE CAN PRACTICE FOR THE NEXT ENEMY!" storyline with a more realist warfare story. And don't get me started with the endless extra content, because like I said, I don't want to get into too much detail. I can't stress this enough. Look, if this hasn't made you want the game, go look for some info online where they keep you online long enough to make a proper review. If I still lost you, well then you are lost yourself. I have failed you.

This game is great but it misses alot of important stuff they left out in advance wars duelstrike. It has good graphics and everthing but they left out the duel strike power,geuss that was only a one time thing. They also gave you vary little charactors to choose from, and it gets boreing after awhile choosing the same charater over and over. The co's powers aren't all that cool iether and it wont help much in battle in less you have alot of units. you see this time you dont get co's power move by attacking you have to hop in one of your units and attack or there is a co zone where any of your units attack and kill your power goes up. The battles take for ever because the AI is really good. i took a total of 76 days when i played one battle that was hard. they also have the wifi but it seems they focus more on the wifi part then the game because all the modes you have are frree mode "you play any map" and campane mode which is the story. I think duelstrike was better but at least you got good graphics, unbelievible.
