Reviews: Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin

Destructoid has a review of the Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Here's the verdict:

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is built upon some of the most startling changes in the series to date. But unlike other evolutions of similar series, Days of Ruin doesn't function so much on the building upon as it does a tight reworking of the principles at play, a retooling of its fundamentals. Gamers are notorious for reacting loudly to disagreeable change, and where Days of Ruin will land for many fans is largely a matter of preference; it's worth noting, however, that the most key changes brought unto the series were made deliberately, with foresight, and precision. Days of Ruin is a marked improvement on an established and aging formula, but for gamers who love that formula, Days of Ruin is a no-brainer.

It's actually nice to see changes implemented in the Advance Wars series. The original GBA titles were revolutionary in their own right, but a few years down the line and you've got a feeling that the game doesn't really feel like a war. Not that I'm expecting to see the horrors of warfare, but I want to see the series grow into maturity as the years progressed. Days of Ruin is that answer to that wish, and the 9.0 rating indicates that the change is a step in the right direction.
