Battalion Wars review (GameCube) |

Reviewed by disco (May 22, 2006) Military games are a dime a dozen these days. When was the last time a major World War II-based combat simulation not being released for a home console or PC? How many times can we take on the AI-controlled Germans and still feel like we’re playing a unique game?
