Days of Ruin offers plenty new, but it's possible it got rid of too much of the old. But just like with our ol' buddy Jake, we're OK with trading up all those bonus modes in Dual Strike for more tactically oriented units and real online play (though it'll still take us some time to get used to this new CO gameplay). Advance Wars has finally advanced. 8.5/10

Fans of the series are getting the game they know and love. Just don't expect it to break new ground in terms of gameplay. Days of Ruin still delivers the fun, though, and strategy fans will once again have their hands full."
