Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising vs Total War: Shogun 2
Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is the brilliant sequel to the award-winning Advanced Wars where, this time around, the previously failed Black Hole Army returns for a second whooping by yours truly. However, in order for you to give them the whooping they deserve, you'll need to make full use of your brand new ability - Super Commanding Officer Powers, in addition to the usual tactical and strategic gameplay. There are more units than ever for you to command and there are also more maps as well as terrain types to give you the challenge you crave. There are new maps, challenges and Commanding Officers that you can buy using points at the Battlemaps shop too. Interestingly, you can even challenge your friends to a battle and put your skills to the ultimate test.Advanced Wars 2 definitely one-ups the original by adding in a ton of new features including a new multiplayer option, further expanding the game's lifespan by miles. This is certainly a great game to buy if you've got a Nintendo 3DS and friends to play the game with.
Total War: Shogun 2
Total War: Shogun 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking original game, Shogun: Total War. Set in the darkest age of Feudal Japan right after the collapse of a unified government (in 16th century to be exact), many warring clans have risen through the chaos and out of them, 10 legendary warlords, or Daimyos, have their eyes set on the coveted position of shogun, but only one of them will be able to reunite a warring island.The gameplay is pretty similar to the original game. The campaign map features a turn-based, Risk-style gameplay while the actual battles themselves (rendered in glorious 3D) are played out in real-time. However, this time around, the game is filled with a ton of new units, including massive warships, as well as a more in-depth strategic gameplay based on the ancient texts in Sun Tzu's Art of War. There are multi-stage sieges, unique hero units who can be improved through standard RPG methods, and that the campaign map is now in 3D as well and can be rotated whichever way you like.
The campaign in Total War: Shogun 2 can also be played cooperatively (2 players), but if you truly want to test your skills, you can engage in epic online battles with up to 8 other players.
This game does the very first Total War game justice and is the sort of game that fans of the series would greatly enjoy. Also, considering that the game came out more than 5 years ago, the graphics in the game is still pretty relevant today... so I guess, that's another bonus.
