Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, is an awesome game!
The Good
I really love the way they created the characters; they made them stunningly realistic! Also, is has cool music. Not hard rock, but not soft soft; they found the happy medium! They did a very wonderful job creating the game; they added a lot of features to keep you playing for MONTHS! The features are: Normal Campaign; fight the black hole invasions; Hard Campaign; same thing but harder; Versus Mode; more maps, play your own; Map Creator; create your own map; War Room; fight for fun; Link Mode; I guess Link Mode is where you link with another SP; and Co Editor; where you edit the color of the clothes Co's where. Neat huh?
The Bad
I don't think there's anything wrong with AW2. It's just that the higher levels are really hard, but I guess that's not so bad.
The Bottom Line
Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is the sequel to Advanced Wars. All three games in the series, Advanced Wars, Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, and Advanced Wars: Dual Strike, are all strategy games. They are made up of both non-graphic mild/moderate animated violence, and puzzles, all at the same time! What I mean is, you have to know what your doing. You have to be able to plan, take things slowly, and don't do anything ridiculous. With many features, Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, will keep you playing for MONTHS!
