Advance wars is a well designed game, with simple use of controls and gameplay is well rounded. The menu and in-game music suit the game well. The only issue (and it may not even be an issue to some gamers), it's an extremely hard game with many levels that just gets harder. It is very complex, with several different CO's, maps, and most importantly, units. Each unit has its own pros and cons, along with different ranges, firepower, and mobility. I found it challenging to remember all these, and although you can look the stats up for each unit by pressing the R button, it doesn't tell you how well it does to a specific unit on the opposite team.
Ive owned this game before, but it left my possesion. However, not before I played it for countless hours. Its a great strategy game that I highly recomend to anyone who loves a good chess match, and even might like the whole war era feel. Tanks, Bombers, Fighters, Submarines, Infantry, Direct fighters, Indirect fighters; all these elements combine in this turn based game. You can play the main story line, kicking butt all the way to enemy lines, or test your skills in the war room, where you can pick hundreds of maps to fight on. And if that does'nt satisfy you, there are tons of unlockable features, as well as hidden alternate game endings based on players choices. The games has a variety of characters with whom you command your armies. Each character has a unique ability about them, and when thier co power meter fills up, they unleash thier power on the enemies! Advance Wars is a game with HOURS of play time; the game SCREAMS replay value. The reason: you are able to make maps yourself, with a map editor. Create challenging courses for you and a computer or you and a friend can duke it out on. You can even send maps to a friend and vice versa. Even if you only have ONE game cartridge, its STILL 2 players. Even better, with ONE game you can play with up to 4 PLAYERS. This game is perfection, as most of the Advance Wars series is as well. I highly recomend that you purchase this, as no gameboy player should be without its experience.Read full review

Although the start is tedious you have a legendary game that started/introduced to the west strategic/turned based gaming and helped grow interest for the genre. Helping skyrocket more future releases to the West and also in turn helping the release of fire emblem.

One of my favorite games when I was a kid. And it still holds up today. Very enjoyable and immensely entertaining. Easy to learn but extremely difficult to master, as all great pastimes should be. 100% recommend.
