Battalion Wars

Just picked this game up for 20 bucks from EB, new, and I'm on the third mission. Stupid gunship keeps killing my recon.

I don't have an impressive first post, but I only remember seeing a thread once and I didn't have the game back then. Definitely worth 20 bucks though. I love the visual style as well.

How long is it? I just started, and I'd like an idea of how long it lasts. Pity there isn't multiplayer. This makes me excited for BWii, though.

    BWii is a fantastic name for the sequal, in every way.


    that is all.

    I loved it, it's short though. Took me 4 hours to beat it, including one of the bonus missions. I haven't gotten around to the other 3 bonus missions though, they are hard.

    I hear BWii is just BW with online multiplayer. Does anyone know if that is true?

    I love it, but I can't figure out why I keep losing. I mean, first I attack the anti air units with my helicopter...

    False. 15-20 all new missions. Co-op. Then online in addition to that.

    I bought this for 12 dollars new near the Wii launch, and have yet to touch it. Too many games to beat...

    Well, considering I already bought it, buying another copy is pointless :P

    I don't mind though, it's very worth $20.

    [spoiler:049e1a7fa4]I put my artillery on those raised areas on the right and left sides, one in each, and told my infantry to stay put in front of the entrance to the capture point, then kept my antiair a little behind them and would switch between that and the heavy recon. It seemed to work pretty well, I was able to beat it like that.[/spoiler:049e1a7fa4]

    It IS a hard game, though :P

    I got this for $10 Canadian during that unannounced specials week at EB a few months back.

    I can't see how you're getting killed. I finished the game without dying once.

    Fun game, really wish they would've added a multiplayer mode-- if even only split screen or system link.

    I dont really remember but Ive tried twice in the past and it just says something to the effect of: "We had trouble processing your order, it got cancelled."

    Considering my card is a bank of america visa debit, which should work in other galaxies let alone local retailers, it sort of surprises me. I didnt really care until now.

    When I saw the price online I was all "OH GOD MUST BUY" but went into mine and they're all "Nope, 49.99 bitch."

    Think they'd pricematch the site if I decided to be a cockmonkey and insist? (Keep in mind this is a canadian store)

    Bee-Wii, nice phonetically.

    BW ii - Batalion wars 2 in roman numerals.

    B-Wii, encorporates the name of the console into the title, but in a subtle way, not like adding 64 suffix or super prefix to n64/snes games.

    superb name. imo

    I'm having problems with this level, too. The controls get to me a little, but I think I'm just lazy. Now if those soldiers would just man the gun nests like I told them too...
