This game is simply amazing. Compared to the first one...it's just. So wow, I can't really say what it is. The first one was great...but this is just AWESOME! Graphics are one thing on the DS, and besides...who cares THAT much about them? It's still the same over-the-top view when your planning out your strategy and what to do next. Actually...that's technically what it looks like throughout the whole game. The only part that isn't is when your having small chats between characters, than it looks something like Fire Emblem. They have definitely made the plot/story way more interesting. The world is in a disastrous state. Meteors hit, and now crazy ex-soldiers that lost all dignity starts roaming broken down cities to find survivors and raid them. Improving a second title in a series is always a factor. It is in any game, now that I think about it. They have improved so many things, it's just super plain awesome. Even when you capture buildings it's that much better. There's no more bullsh*t co-power. Now you have to put your CO onto any unit you'd like. Whether it'd be a foot soldier or battleship. If you put one on, it really makes a difference. Last, but not least! The music is far different that it was before. You can listen, (and probably download) to the tracks that they've included in the game. You've got to have excellent quality ear/headphones if you want to hear how great the tracks sound. They actually suit the characters...the scene. If you haven't got this game yet for your DS...what the hell are you thinking? GO PICK IT UP RIGHT NOW!! Unless of course they're all sold out in your area...or you just don't like strategy games. In the end, Advance Wars: DOR is another super awesome chocolate covered, fudge coated, super game added to the DS' library.
