I prefer Dual Strike. There are a few things that I miss from DS, the characters were much better in that game, the whole "post-apocolyptic" storyline in days of ruin is a bit cliche and boring. The war room and the CO points you get were great, and kept me playing long after I finished the game. Apparently DoR doesn't have a hard campaign either. The cartoony style of DS looked better, especially in the battle animations. And the control system of DoR seems worse, like it's more difficult to use the stylus.

And although it's not a big thing, I really miss the little city capturing animations and sounds from the old advance wars.

But still, it's a fantastic game, and well worth a buy.

OMG, what do you like about it? From your comments I would guess you think it's a mediocre entry into the series and a little bit of a letdown.

Don't get me wrong. I love the game. I'm a huge fan of Advance Wars, and the game is fantastic. I was just focusing on the negatives, most other people have mentioned the positives. In a way, I'm glad they went a different way. There were some things about dual strike that annoyed me too, such as the ridiculously powerful tag powers. The actual game is probably just as good.

The main things I don't like about it come down to style. The characters, the story, the graphics style, I feel don't live up to the previous ones. I'm sure there are many people who disagree with me. The game itself is just as good (although I think the anti-tank guns are overpowered). If you like Advance Wars, definitely pick it up. If you haven't played it before, personally I would recommend DS over DoR
