Am I the only person here that plays this game? I wanna here what you guys think should be added in the sequel. First on my list is a map editor, the same one from Advance Wars: DS would work fine, but in 3-D obviously. CO and Super CO powers would be welcomed, for example give the Western CO's the ability to generate more effective firepower or funds, while the Tundran CO's would get, I dunno, the ability to threaten their soldiers with the idea of starvation making them move twice as fast, etc.
I feel like i'm pissin in the wind because no one talks about this game here, but with a Wii sequel in the works and a 8.8 review at IGN (that would have scored much higher had it been shipped with the promised multiplayer), maybe you guys will take more interest.
I can tell you that from my experience if you enjoyed Pikmin at all you will love Battalion Wars, which is basically Pikmin with guns :D It exapands a completely new genre that is being called the CRTS or console real time strategy, or RTAS, real time action strategy. Which ever you prefer, but the experience is intuitive and fun and unlike the usual RTS gameplay, this is fast and based on action. So basically, a third person shooter meets RTS.
But the characters, the iconic story of WW1 in a very disney-style presentation, the music and sound effects, everything (including the gameplay) shines through and through. This game should be in everyone's GC collection, so post your fucking thoughts on it god dammit!
