Turn-based strategy game from the makers of Fire Emblem, Intelligent Systems. Players assume command of an army that's out to reclaim a world that's been broken up by warring factions. The battle map is essentially a grid, and moving units is like moving chess pieces on a board -- each of the units can move a specific amount of spaces within this grid, and can only attack at a certain distance from specific enemies. Advance Wars features more than 115 maps, a map editor, head-to-head play via link cable, and an easy-to-understand tutorial mode for beginners.

Amazon.com Review
You don't have to be MacArthur to recognize that Advance Wars is one of the best strategy war games for any console. The game pits four fictional city-states in a battle for territory. Your job as commanding officer is to defeat the enemies in turn-based combat over land, air, and sea. Advance Wars has a stiff learning curve, but its interactive tutorials can turn the greenest GI into a great leader of pixelated men. AW also offers many multiplayer options, including the ability to play against a friend by passing the GBA back and forth. To extend the possibilities, you can also create new battlefields and trade them with others. Despite cutesy visuals, this is a very deep game that is also accessible. For GBA generals looking to flex their tactical muscles or anyone looking for a simply great GBA game, look no further. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

Clear and informative graphics
Ideal interface for the tiny GBA screen
Lots of multiplayer and customization options.

Cons:

Misleadingly cute box art (this is not a game for tots!)

Amazon.com Product Description
Don't let the cartoonlike graphics and easy-to-use controls deceive you--Advance Wars is a seriously addictive strategy game. Already a huge hit in Japan, the game ramps you up and then wages an all-out war. Even after playing several campaigns and deploying an impressive array of armaments, don't be surprised if the game's extremely shrewd AI sneaks up on you. The multiplayer mode links up to four players in a variety of riveting scenarios designed to stretch your strategy skills.
