the game looks fine to me. and why do people say it's in 3D? it's full on 2D. except a few 3D in the background of the battle animations the diagonal units look a bit awkward though. but damn, i am SO psyched for this game. AWDS sucked literally MONTHS out of my life that i'm never gonna get back.

1up.com's review has arrived! and it got an 8.5. great score... but i'm REALLY worried about the stuff that they've taken out of the game. war room is gone, survival, combat, all gone. hachi's store is gone too! well, yeah there's online mode and all. but now i'm thinking that i'll just be better off buying the GBA advance wars games... i've only played AW:DS sooo i'm not tired of the gameplay just yet.
