This was a uncommon indulgence for 2006 me, a handheld strategy rubric that didn't conscionable transcript Advance Wars but tried to outflank it with a much superior subject tone, fog of warfare mechanics, and a beefy suite of online modes that really worked.
I retrieve being floored by however good it handled for a portable, with chunky portion designs, biology destructibility, and a gritty warfare country vibe that made my Game Boy Advance consciousness similar a artifact successful comparison. It ne'er lit the satellite connected fire, but for a little infinitesimal Field Commander made Sony look similar it could beryllium a superior handheld tactics contender. Sadly, that beachhead was each but squandered.
