Hi all

Just re-entered my profile here on this very site. One thing that bugs me though is all the bright colours! I'm gonna need glasses or I'm gonna go :eek:!

Anyways, has anyone seen all those videos of Battalion Wars for GameCube on IGN? What a deep game it looks! And better than the one we saw at E3 2004 (as Advance Wars: Under Fire). Kuju have certainly done a good job - that's one to the British developers! :D )

This is an essential purchase for me. I love the Advance Wars titles on GBA and DS - and a real time spin off should be a hoot.

IGN have raised a couple of issues which have bought the game mark down. With a little more thought, this could have been marked 9+. As it stands, i think IGN's score is a more than respectable 8.8.

Just seen the score on IGN - 8.8 seems respectable enough. Now it's higher than Geist on the want list :D

That is a FANTASTIC score!!
I was expecting it to get around '7' or something like that; It must be a great game!!
The last video i saw looked really good, with very stylish cutscenes, and great gameplay; might have to think about getting this sometime!

I think I'll wait until I've seen some more reviews before buying this one, although it does sound pretty good.

Maybe we'll see some more Nintendo-published games from UK developers in the future!

I have just watched about 20 videos of this game and I actually like it. I'm still not sure if I buy it or not but maybe if I could test it somewhere...

I think i'll get it from the UK, i've got so many other games to play right now antd i'll make a good pressie for Xmas. It's certainly looking better than the first time I played it at Kuju's Focus Group.

I'm getting Delta Force: Black Hawk Down for Xbox (should arrive tomorrow) and Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends (Euro launch 7th October), and chances are I'll get a few games by the time Battalion Wars is released on 9th December. :)

So did anyone get it!? I'd love to hear opinions on it, surprised theres not lots of threads on it declaring it the best game of the year!! And when I say surprised I meant disppointed! :)

I've got it, and it's plenty o' fun!
It has some downsides (like, only Campaign mode, and not so many extras), but the gameplay is very very fun, albeit it's getting quite hard now, but it's still a blast. You feel very satisfied when you've come up with a good strategy and it really works, you see your enemies turn to smithereens :)

Great stuff, ive been excited about this game for so long, was gonna import but my JPN cube broke its switch so I cant turn it american :( December 9th will come soon.

Not THAT bothered about no mulitplayer, I expect it so it wont disppoint. Just want a great, fun action strategy game - it looks amazing!!

Hi guys.

I'm not too sure about this. I've been out of the picture GameCube wise for a while, and so only really heard about it recently. Looks good and is a strategy game which appeals to me. :smile: I loved Pikmin 2, and have been after a new strategy game for a while to play alongside Pikmin.

Those who have played it, what were some of the problems you think it might have?
