Advanced Wars 2: Black Hole Rising vs Shogun: Total War
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.
Shogun: Total War
Shogun: Total War is the first original title in a legendary, 15-year (and counting), award-winning, real-time strategy game series that currently spanned across multiple themes and settings. However, this game is set in ancient Japan - 1542 to be exact - when the last shogunate collapsed and the entire nation is thrown into conflict as multiple daimyo (faction leaders) vie for the most powerful seat. To make things worst, Europeans have also ventured to island at this point, bringing guns, religion and disease - factors that you'll eventually have to deal with if you are to attain the people's support and conquer the whole of Japan.The gameplay in Shogun: Total War is akin to Rise of Nations in the sense that each battle is carried out in real-time, but moving your troops on the world map is pretty much turn-based (Risk-style). However, unlike the latter, the battle itself is purely consisted of the actual fighting rather than having you build a base and amassing resources and an army. Instead, Shogun lets you view the entire battlefield from any view you like and send commands to your troops as the battle unfolds. This is basically something that's unheard of until this game came along.
Shogun: Total War may be an old game by modern standards, and due to this, many players might simply opt for its sequel in order to have a taste of that this game has to offer. However, if you truly want to experience the very first of the Total War series, this is the game to play.
