I was focusing on the changes that were made, and local multi is not changed. The War Room is NOT the same as the training missions you get in single player. It is far more limited and worse than the old War Room. Color palette is simply a matter of taste. Yes it is appropriate for the setting, but that doesn't make it any less ugly. And yes, I did forget to mention the map sharing. My bad. - Ian "Taxman" Small Fri, 01 Feb 2008 10:19:32 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/256/42/#comment-447 Also you failed to mention the map editor and map sharing as well as the fact that you can play local, four player multiplayer on a single DS with a group of friends. - Killazilla Tue, 29 Jan 2008 23:20:01 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/256/42/#comment-446 "Unfortunately, the War Room is nowhere to be found in Days of Ruin." You sir are very wrong. The War Room missions are in the campaign under the guise of "training". The levels Marked "T25" and such ARE the War Room missions. Go look at the old War Room Maps and you will see almost all of them plus some new ones. You just have to unlock them while playing the game. There are at least 30 missions. As for visuals I love the new art direction. The dark, gritty colors and texture of the units plays perfectly into the mood of the entire game. After all in a world covered in ash and wasteland how can you expect the units to look all clean and bright like the old games? And how can you expect said world to be anything but a bland, dusty wasteland? I love this game to death and I love how victory is not determined by what CO you use and how fast you can get your CO power up. Instead this game is all about how the player chooses his units, how he uses the terrain, what maneuvers he employs and how fast he can adapt to the tactics of his opponent. IMO this is the best game in the series. - Killazilla Tue, 29 Jan 2008 23:11:48 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/256/42/#comment-428 This one came highly recommended from a friend... I might pick it up. - TinPanAlley Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:46:10 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/256/42/#comment-423 Great review, man! I look forward to picking this one up. It seems like it's pretty fun. - Sir Isaac Newbton Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:10:05 +0100
