Advance Wars 2

I tried, time and time again, to beat the last mission in the game, but it was just too much for me. I couldn't get anywhere, since Sturm's troops had every available path well-covered. Actually, I know I'd be able to do it if it weren't for the fucking time limit. My girlfriend was bugging me to start her own campaign, so I gave up and let her.

Even though I didn't beat it, I came away with great appreciation for this awesome game. The difficulty is nasty, though (specifically on the timed missions). If I ever play through it again, I'll have to remember to save my game before every turn.

This thread is resurrected the same day I started playing it again after a long time. Weird. I've yet to beat the last mission as well. I just beat the last single opponent mission in the war room, though.

I have not played in a while. I got the game in the summer and enjoyed it enough. It's is a very good game but I found it to be a bit of a letdown after the first, which I really really really enjoyed.

Technically speaking it's surely better than the first... but it seems like a rather lazy sequel. There were not enough additions or changes to the game, even though the >small additions< like missles, pipes, and more COs were nice. I also grew tired of the very momentum-based gameplay. My final nitpick is that the first game was fun in a quirky/kitschy way but the dialogue/"plot" in this sequel was just flat out corny and annoying. :\

It's still a very very good game... I was just slightly disappointed. I do need to go back and finish it eventually. I estimate I am 80%+ through.
