Item Description

What would Advance Wars look like with the camera dropped down onto the battlefield? Battalion Wars answers that question. Kuju London developed it for Nintendo under the working title Advance Wars: Under Fire, and while the name changed for its 2005 Western release, the DNA is obvious: chunky tanks, cartoon commanders and a war you win by deciding who goes where. In Japan it even carried the Famicom Wars name.

The twist is that you are both general and grunt. You take direct control of one unit from a third-person view while issuing orders to the rest of your battalion, telling the whole force, a single company or one unit to follow, move, hold ground, guard or attack. Switch into an infantryman and you can roll and jump to dodge fire; jump into an aircraft and you can change altitude for a strafing run. Light and heavy recon, mortar teams, hulking battlestation tanks and stratodestroyer aircraft all join the fight, and each enemy type has a natural counter, so leading from the front still means thinking like a commander.

The campaign runs more than twenty missions and has plenty of personality. You fight for the Western Frontier alongside General Herman, Colonel Austin and the unflappable Brigadier Betty, against Kaiser Vlad and the Xylvanian army, with Marshal Nova's Tundran Territories and Empress Lei-Qo's Solar Empire caught up in the conflict. Each mission is graded on Power, Technique and Speed in true Advance Wars fashion, and strong averages unlock bonus missions that hand you the other factions' troops.

Critics responded warmly, with IGN scoring it 8.8, though many wished it had multiplayer. The Wii sequel, Battalion Wars 2, continued the story and took the war to sea, which makes this the original that started the series. It is the GameCube's best answer for players who wanted their Advance Wars strategy and a third-person shooter in the same game.
