Review Summary
Battalion Wars 2 is as the name suggests a war game with plenty of incredible action. It features a superior single-player battle, as well as online play for owners of Nintendo’s elusive Wii. Battalion Wars 2 depicts the tale of two wars, a previous conflict and an ongoing one. It is about the Xylvanians telling one nation that another nation is building a superweapon, and taking advantage of the turbulent chaos and distraction it has created, to better concentrate on their own superweapon research.

See moreBattalion Wars 2 is as the name suggests a war game with plenty of incredible action. It features a superior single-player battle, as well as online play for owners of Nintendo’s elusive Wii. Battalion Wars 2 depicts the tale of two wars, a previous conflict and an ongoing one. It is about the Xylvanians telling one nation that another nation is building a superweapon, and taking advantage of the turbulent chaos and distraction it has created, to better concentrate on their own superweapon research. To progress in the game is quite simple especially with the Wii’s point-and-click control scheme, you can easily dispatch each unit type to attack what you think is best. You can also play online either together or against friends and strangers. In cooperative missions, you and your companion, each have armies, with the important units divided between each. Battalion Wars 2 features naval units, which are like tanks on the water. You have your battleship, frigates, and submarines. The submarines can dive under water, which make them invisible to battleships, but can be seen by frigates or other subs. The presentation of Battalion Wars 2 is excellent with crisp and clear graphics, the water looks wet. The voice acting, the action, and the sound track are all good. However some reviewers find that the story and the artificial intelligence is too simple.

Battalion Wars 2 Review (Wii)
Reviewer: WiiDS.co.uk23 February 2008Online seems to actually be a good portion of the game. With the single player campaign consisting of around 25 missions which could be completed within a few days, the online gives players a chance to test their skills. online comes in varying modes including Co-op, Assault and Skirmish, each of which require more than a few play throughs to unlock more levels for each mode. This is a nice idea and I think one that works pretty well, matches can last from 10 seconds to... Read more
