It is the second entry of a series of games (Advance Wars having come first, Black Hole Rising second, Dual Strike third, with Days of Ruin being the latest entry so far.) I also think this would be a great game to come to GameCube for a multiplayer online game.Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is a turn-based strategy game developed by Intelligent Systems. The Split-screen and replay value are great, but if you are looking for a mindless game, this is not the right choice for you. Final VerdictĪdvance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is a fantastic strategy game and well worth the addition to anyone’s Game Boy Advance collection. The same 16-bit quality music beats from start to finish. All in all, it’s a great and outstanding soundtrack in Advance Wars 2. There are also many more actions that offer a music change or a different type of music to be played while in the game. It seems like the music inspires you just to play better. The sound in Advance Wars 2 includes great music and voice clips at the end game screen. The map isn’t cluttered with special effects that aren’t needed. The graphics on end screen, start screen, and design screen are well done, and the side-by-side attack animations look great. Although this isn’t a very graphic-intensive game, the graphics are great for being processed by a handheld system. By the looks of the game they put more time into developing better graphics. The overall appearance of Advance Wars 2 is very well done. There are endless options, and many things for you to do after beating single-player campaign. You can play to earn points in the War Room, or you can battle friends, and possibly face COs in Vs. As you play you will unlock new War Room maps which are stand-alone missions that can be replayed for better rankings. You try to earn enough points to buy some multiplayer maps. There are 5 continents where missions take place. In single-player campaign you choose one of the available maps. So commanding and conquering is very important in the game. You earn money for every building captured, and you will earn 1000 points every turn you control them. You earn money on the amount of property you have. That is why money is very important and earned every turn. You’ll have to produce many tanks and military troops if you plan on surviving. After the first mission or two you’ll really get into this. One of the game’s best aspects is the ability to make your army grow. Missile silos have no affiliation with anyone so whoever gets to them first gets to use them. When the missile hits, it will damage up to 9 spaces. Bringing up any infantry unit to the silo will allow you to launch one missile anywhere on the map. Missile silos are spread around the maps some maps may have them some may not. One of the additional units added is the missile silo. Generally though, the player doesn’t have a choice you must do what is best for the mission and concentrate on completing the objective that has the highest success rate. The same task will be accomplished by completing either of the objectives, so the choice is up to the player. The primary goal of the mission is: wipe out the enemy, or capture their base. All units have advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses fighting other units. Tanks won’t be able to cross mountains and rivers but infantry has no problem at all. For instance, infantry units might be able to move three spaces but a helicopter can move double or more.
Each unit has its own movements for each turn. You have units (tanks, helicopters, military troops, etc.) at your command individually. The best way to describe Advance Wars is chess on a battlefield. The characters in Advance Wars 2 have many different personality types: cranky, arrogant, intelligent, fun, and so on.Īdvance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising adds more units and has different buildings than the first one.
The original cast of characters return to Advance Wars 2, (Sami, Andy, Max, Grit, Sonja, Eagle) with a couple new ones (Hawke, Lash, Flak). The storyline of Advance Wars 2 is that the Black Hole Army is trying to dominate the globe again. There was no other strategy game on the Game Boy until now.Īdvance Wars 2 is an expansion of the original Advance Wars with many new features and added abilities.
The first Advance Wars featured intense turn-based strategy, innovative gameplay and anime-style graphics. Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is the sequel to one of Nintendo’s sleeper hits.
