How Metascores Are Calculated

GAMES: Advance Wars 2 expands on the original title with even more strategic action and all-new features that take the game to the next level. Sturm, the leader of the Black Hole Army, has created a new base of operations, and now he's set his sights on Cosmo Land. It's up to you to unite the armies of Cosmo Land and work with your allies to drive off the otherworldly invaders. The turn-based strategy action of Advance Wars 2 will put your brain to the test in the ultimate battle of good versus evil! Encounter new Commanding Officers and feel the effects of their devastating CO Powers. Use all-new Super CO Powers like Typhoon and Airborne Assault to rain destruction upon your enemy. Master the command of new units like the massively powerful Neotank as you tackle new terrain features and devise original battle strategies. Test your strategic skill against your friends with either Single- or Multi-Pak multiplayer modes. Use the customizable Map Editor to create the most complex and challenging battle maps ever, then trade them with a friend! [Nintendo]

Strategy and suspense play a greater role this time around, not just because the CPU is more intelligent, but also because each new cast member brings different abilities to the battlefield. [Fall 2003, p.34]

Everything a fan of the series could want. There are more opportunities for dual army control (like the final battle in the original) as well as much more challenging maps to defeat. [July 2003, p.121]

There aren't as many unit types as I would have liked, but the improved mission diversity more than makes up for it. [July 2003, p.144]

Definitely one of the meatiest handheld games out there, and if you let it, it'll absorb you as intensely as some of its larger siblings. [July 2003, p.51]

I'm giving Advance Wars 2 an 8.5 because of the game's lack of any significant innovation (the missile silos and volcanos are nice, but one new tank doesn't cut it for me). The developers decided not to take any risks, which I can't really fault them for, since the first game was so damn close to perfection to begin with.

The sequel packs the same simple visuals and strategy system, but I think the rewarding gameplay's even better this time around. [July 2003, p.122]

The game has changed just enough to please loyal fans, and when you've got a formula that makes for such a compelling gaming experience, why mess with it? [July 2003, p.80]

Advance Wars 2 isn't really Advance Wars 2, it's Advance Wars 1.5. Still a superb game, it's only close to perfect for those who've never experienced perfection before. [Sept 2003]
