Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising vs Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
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.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the latest installment of the real-time strategy game franchise, Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Despite the apparently intriguing storyline of a time travel gone awry and the brilliant live-action HD videos, the science fiction-themed narrative is somewhat weak in comparison to the previous titles. However, it's nice that this time around, you get to choose between one of three factions (Allies, Soviets, and the Empire of the Rising Sun, or the Empire for short) to play as rather than having only two. The campaigns are pretty fun as well and the game does have a rather nice co-command feature that links all the campaign missions together.Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a really nice take on the alternative world theme and the strategic gameplay is incredible as usual. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo before buying it on Steam.
