Battalion Wars 2

In Battalion Wars 2, you play as a Battalion commander who can take command and control a myriad of military units on land, air and sea. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk is used to order tropps around the battlefield and the controls change depending on what unit you’re commanding as well as the environment you’re fighting in.

Features

Under Gaining Command of the Land, you play as a soldier. The controls are simple and intuitive; mainly comprising of aiming the Wii Remote and moving with the Control Stick. To perform combat rolls, simply tilt the Nunchuk. You can even command and control the tanks and recon vehicles to help you rule the land. As for Owning the Ocean and Seizing the Seas, you can order a submarine to submerge by shaking the Nunchuk. To rupture hulls when facing an enemy sub, fire a depth charge by controlling a frigate. Under air, you get to experience new controls and new heights. Twist the Wii Remote along with your turns to outmaneuver your opponents. Adjust your altitude by pointing up or down and title the Nunchuk to barrel roll to safety when you feel pressure from incoming enemy fire.

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. 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.

  1. Battalion Wars 2 Review (Wii)

    Reviewer: WiiDS.co.uk
    21 March 2008

    A 9 hour single player, a excellent online component, great controls and a laugh out loud storyline, with those things in mind its easy to see that Battalion Wars 2 is a good game. Kuju have obviously tried very hard to make a fun and appealing game, but the game suffers from being too linear to draw in the truly hardcore gamer. There is a lot this game got spot on, shame it misses some as well Score 80% + Long single player + Good, lag free, online play + Several unit... Read more

    Battalion Wars 2 is a good game with some minor issues that do not detract from its overall quality or enjoyment. It even merits favourable comparisons to a 3D version of Cannon Fodder and is the perfect game for anyone who finds PC strategy games to be a little too in-depth for their liking. Read more

    As a game that can be approached in so many different ways and on so many levels, Battalion Wars 2 should appeal to anyone who likes a bit of good old-fashioned strategic action. Read more

    Remember the self-referential, idiosyncratic humour and gentle racial stereotyping that used to characterise British games? Kuju has done us proud with BWii. None of Battalion Wars 2's feuding nations is free from its pokey stick of satire, not even our own. 'The Anglo Isles: "This green and pleasant island nation once commanded a mighty empire, but is now relegated to the backwaters of global diplomacy." Battalion Wars 2 begins as Colonel Windsor launches an Anglican... Read more

    Fun game overall. If you have WiFi, you can add to the enjoyment of playing on-line with others. Cut-scenes are a bit tedious and game play can get a bit frantic. My only advice is to take the time to learn the controls. The game has implemented the use of the Wiimote and Nunchuck quite brilliantly. I highly recommend adding this title to your library!

    When I saw this game advertised on Amazon, I thought it sounded like a terrific opportunity to play a tactical game on the Wii. Unfortunately, while I was expecting a tactical game similar to Sid Meier's Gettysburg, I got an arcade game that happens to allow you to issue occasional battle commands. Theoretically, you're supposed to be able to be successful in this game if you send the right units you control after the right units your enemy controls. Unfortunately, the... Read more
