This game redefines advance wars in many ways. The lack of a shop or the variety of things to unlock is indeed a letdown, but the wifi MORE than makes up for it in every way. The campaign is pretty good, i'm stuck on one of the final missions right now but i'll beat it in a day or two, and overall there is a pretty good cast of characters. My personal favorite is Gage, but i like Isabella just as much.

Every fan of advance wars should pick up this game, period.
