Battalion Wars

"Steady your aim, Fire at will."

Story:
First of all the game has a pretty decent story. The plot changes overtime and enimies become allies. The missions are very well thought out and the dialouge is classic and very funny.

Gameplay:
Although there is a big lack of multiple modes in this game, the game is really fun. The campagin isn't really super long, but its not that short it can keep you going for a while. There is a ranking system after you complete a mission. C, B, A, and S. The missions are unique and you don't really do the same thing all the time. If it is defending, attacking, stealing bases, helping allies, protecting, or taking out ships Each mission is special in its own way. There are 4 different types of landscapes to fight on. You also have a ton of units to play from. Your standard Rifle Grunts, who are the funniest in the game and most enjoyable to play, or you can be Men with bazookas, missles, motars, flamethrows and more. There is a nice bundle of vehicles too. Recons, Tanks, Fighters, Gunships, And many more. Its not like a normal army game if you die the mission suddenly ends. If the man you are controling dies, you turn into another one, The mission is failed by losing your entire battalion or faling to complete an objective. There are a few secondary objectives to do in the missions also. The only thing that may annoy you sometimes if your locked on and your running towards your enemy's shooting a close range, not always but sometimes your aim goes down to the ground. It doesn't happen very often though.

Sound: The sound is amazing in this game, The music is pretty enjoyable and the bullets and explosions, sounds of the planes are amazing. This is another great thing about the game.

Graphics: The graphics are almost as good as the sound, even it may not be the best graphics out there, the cartoon look really works.

Overall: Decent game, Its pretty cheap about now so its a good buy if you like games like these. The only real downside is the lack of multiplayer, if they had some this game would be perfect.
