Well, this is one of the first games to be released on the GBA, and it is definitely a winner. The graphics are great, and the game contains a compelling enough storyline that you will want to play the game to the end. It is a standard strategy game based on current times, and you play an army on the offensive, and defensive. Your objectives will require you to take over, and to simply protect--"simply." The game, at first, seems a little easy, but it soon rockets up in difficulty level. Overall, the game is good. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but at about an hour, it's not bad. I give Advanced Wars for the GBA a 9/10.
