Battalion Wars (GC)

CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!

Battalion Wars blazes onto the Nintendo GameCube with a platoon of real-time strategy action! Whether you're hoofing it across the plains as a lone infantryman or commanding an entire platoon from atop an armored tank, the challenge is real and the mission is critical. You've never played a real-time strategy title like this before!

Command your forces in the heat of battle, but beware! Clever enemy AI will adopt to your every move.

Hop behind the wheel of multiple attack vehicles: Jeeps, tanks, helicoptors, airborne unships, fighter jets, transport vehicles and more will be yours to pilot!

Take the fight to your foe with a massive arsenal of weapons such as rifles, bazookas, flamethrowers, machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers and many others!

Got this game today for $4 at a local game store. It reminds me of an N64 game the way the main character bobs side-to-side as he walks. The characters are very vivacious with their perhaps stereotypical characterization. You are forced to watch the cutscenes but they're all good so it's not a big problem. The characters 3D modeling is bold big cartoon look like Team Fortress or a Disney movie like The Incredibles. I was beginning to get bored but it really picks up as you learn to switch through units and issue different commands. So hopefully it gets really crazy soon.
