Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (Game Boy Advance, 2003)

Very challenging strategy game, in either one- or two-player modes. The storyline is nice too; it keeps you interested in the one-player mode as each board gets harder and harder.

This game is excellent for anyone who loves turn-based strategy games! This is the best one yet for GBA. Everyone I know who owns a GBA owns this game. Couldn't find it any where, only on ebay! Everyone should get a copy.

I bought this game because I thoroughly enjoyed the first Advance Wars. I felt that this game was very much better than the first game. There are more maps and COs in this one and requires more strategic thought.

I bought this game for my son. He loves the graphics. This game is challenging so it keeps his interest to play on. My son gives this game a 9 out of 10. I highly recommend this game if you like a challenge.

Easily the best game I have played on GameBoy Advance. The gameplay is tremednous, the graphics are fitting and colorful, there are a vast array of units and weaponry as well as terrain and maps and the game is deeeeeepp. Can play for months and still have more to do.

Advance wars, a turn based strategy game based around ground, sea and air units is by far one of the best made in last decade and its sequel black hole rising does not disappoint. The battle system in this game has all the units start with 10 hit points which are lost when being attacked or from a counter attack which happen automatically. Units lose offensive and defensive capabilities as they lose health so it is very important to plan ahead.

Advance wars 2 picks up shortly after the original left off with the black hole army almost pushing every other nation's forces into the sea. It is up to you to take the role of Commanding officer and take back your homeland.

The only differences between this game and its predecessor is the fact that you play as all the different nations in the campaign mode, not just orange star like the original. There are also a handful of new COs and single new unit the neotank, which make it easy to transition into this game. Players can also charge up for a super power move in addition to the usual power move, which is very similar but offers even more bonus's for that turn.

All in all if you are a fan of turn based strategy games you should definitely give this one a try, but you might want to start with the first. This game felt more like an expansion than a new game, but it is endlessly challenging through the campaign as well as the war room which has dozens of levels to unlock and master.

I was bummed at first when I heard my friend's (ex)girlfriend pawned my advance wars #1 that I loaned him to buy pot. But I don't even miss it, this game is bigger and has more stuff to do than the first. Plus if you have a gameshark, it's even better since there are some really sweet codes for it.

What I love about the game is that you really have to think while you play it. So it keeps your mind going. There is not much that i dislike about it. The reason that I bought it was so I could play it and so I could play with it with my little brother who aso has one and that is how I go to know the game is by someone else who has it.

I love everything about this game since i have the first advance wars.The sequel is everything i thought it would be and more.Strategy and rpg games have always been sort of my favorite types of games and advance wars is just a perfect combination.

Real good game, it's gonna keep you busy for a while! Sequel to the 1st AV, the gameplay didn't change, you just get new COs, new maps, one new weapon!
Could have added a little more to this new game, but you still enjoy it no matter what

great game one of my favorites for GBA this game has hours of replay and you will get hooked to it fast.

did not receive item that was auctioned. Seller will not respond to emails. very disappointed with zero feedback to resolve this problem

One of the best games for the GBA. Good strategy, excellent replay value. The games are quick with a variety of commanders and units. There are two campaigns, normal and hard, and a multitude of standalone maps with plenty of unlockables.

nice price fast shiping! Tank you! My parnter really enjoyed the game. its hard to get of the shelf in new zealand so im glad that people sell it!

in perfect condition, sweet victory. got it in a couple of days.



great seller.

ZOMG ADVANCE WARZ TWOOO!! well what to say,
i origanally had this a few years ago,
then my friend took it, and since then i have been without this extraordinry game :/

ahhhh well. it doesnt matter now!
because i now have it back!! :]]]
"advance wars 2: black hole rising" is a strategy game based all around cartoon tanks and infantryman killing each other. read the other viewsfor more actual info, but overall, its a fantastic game that is just as fun a a cartoon with the intensity of actual warfare! (almost)


soooo if you hadn't had the privilege of doing so already...

BUY THIS GAME :]]]

I bought this by looking at GameSpot reviews for GBA games I could play on my DS. Some of the games on that list might have good reviews, but I personally dislike (Castlevania, for example).

But this game is FANTASTIC. If you like turn-based strategy like the old BATTLE ISLE games from BLUE BYTE, you will enjoy this one a lot (and the other Advance War games). It's clearly made in the spirit of that classic strategy game.

FUN!!! !

If your familiar with part one. This one is pretty much the identicle play mechanics as the first. Except more characters and better maps to battle on. Its a must pick up before you play Duel Strike (part 3)

I love the series though sometimes the story is a little cheesy but its a war game for little kids its what I'd expect. If i want a good story then I would read a book, but the game is fun and one of my favorites for the gameboy advance.

Product was in mint condition. Vendor has great selection and responsive service. Highly recommended.
