**Spacemanchuck** · September 17th, 2005, 06:32 PM

Ok Everybody loved Advanced wars on the GBA, totally kicked ass. Anyways, whats up with the new GameCube Advanced wars under fire? Or I believe its actually being called Battalion wars? Im not sure.

Anyways, has anyone played it? Is it good? Whats the scoop. Sammy your the man with the master plan when it comes to game reviews. Does it have the seal of approval or does it suck ass?

Comes out Tuesday or Wednesday

It was a ton of fun at E3 --- reall shooty, lots of war on the screen and the physics are like Metal Slug in 3d so i really dug that part.

Some of the later missions, and MegaTank designs look really damn fun -
IGN gave it an 8.8 --- I've yet to see any other reviews, they constantly call it a 'sleeper-hit' and keep stressing that it has plenty of strategy even if all missions are pre-deployed.
Be prepaired though - it's *nothing* like AdvanceWars on the GBA/DS, it's a completely different approach to the 'wars' franchise.

I'll be picking mine up this week, and if that review isn't enough our own Prometheus painted the cover-art

nice one Prom!

gotta agree with Sam, this game was tons of fun at E3. Good ole metal sluggish cartoony war violence

machine gunning, squad commanding, and vehicle driving, and a sweet Painting by Prom too! Glad they used that for the cover....

Hey sammy, waz up. I was just wondering....is the ps2 version of Res Evil 4 supposed to be as good (gameplay wise) as the gc version. I already preordered the premium edition. I obviously know graphics are not gonna be as good (but critics say its better than they thought), but I care about gameplay, and if it smooth, without any stutter. If you have anyclue, tell ME! thanks.

lol, whats this? "ask sammy"? ^-^

anyway yeah battalion wars looks awesome. but then so does advance wars dual strike for DS. i plan to get them both. i think dual strike comes out here soon, but battalion wars comes out i think november, its ages away.

sammy, spacemanchuck, lemme know how it is when you get it. but no spoilers ^-^

peace

Spacemanchuck, Alien Hominid is really fun and the co-op is good --- it's also being ported to GBA so that should be fun.

I have a ton of faith in Capcom, RE4 seems like it's pushin the PS2 to its limmits ----- I wouldn't worry about gameplay and such, I'm sure they won't release it 'till it's a true gem.
The graphics I wouldn't worry about either, that Capcom team is way tallented - they're mad i tell ya, MAD - I'm gonna be getting it just to see how good they are at crammin' all those visuals into the PS2.

I don't know how good it is, I have only seen videos and some secret stuff.

The website gets an OK stamp and a HOHO from Santa. Very clear and nice layout, and no tiny pictures either (like most official game sites tend to have).

I'm not sure if I should get a GC and WW, MP, ResEvil, and this game (I kinda promised Synj I'd get Alien Homanid too), or wait until the Rev comes out cuz it's GC compatible right? I'm not exactly rich and GCs are 130$ here (+ memcard and extra stuff), and games are normally 70-80 bucks, except the players choice ones that are 30 something.

i'm easily sold on cool vehicles.

The game is UK developed so I don't know what's up. I think they're busy finding all sort of rating decals to put all over the cover. Heard they made some changes to.
