Nice score.
Edit: Changed title.

9.1

8.0 Presentation
Energetic as the series has always been, but it doesn't separate itself enough from the GBA property.
8.0 Graphics
Sprite-based engine from the GBA version receives a few tweaks, but don't expect a flashy experience beyond that.
8.5 Sound
Some of the more "twangy" tunes return from the GBA series, but some other music have been given a nice upgrade to match the action and the DS's capabilities.
9.5 Gameplay
For the move to the Nintendo DS, Intelligent Systems only slightly upgraded the Advance Wars mechanics. It's still a fantastic challenge and a lot of fun.
10 Lasting Appeal
Multiplayer is, once again, a major focus in Advance Wars DS, and the touch screen really makes map construction a joy.
9.0 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

It isn't a srpg, it is a straight up turn based strategy game.

I'm putting the words Advance Wars and Dual Strike in this thread in case anyone searches for the title of the game and not AWDS.

Sorry this is my first semi-scoop on these boards so I was a bit eager to post it. Yes I'm pathetic.

Happens.

I just got burned by posting OLD because someone saw fit to use your same acronym. Fortunately the Powers of Kasavin pulled the thread from the fire.

The CO's get exp and you have to choose skills, so its got SRPG elements.
