 Few crashing problems here... June 12, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm not sure if I got the only fully working copy of this game or not, but I have extensively played this game (100+ hours) and have only rarely had a lock-up - and these can be avoided if you save every few rounds when playing a large multi-player game. I've got no idea why some people are having such serious problems with the title.
As for the game itself, it is a great adaptation of the PC game, you don't have all of the features or whistles of the computer game, but what is here is wonderfully scaled to the DS platform. I never liked this game much on the PC, but the scale and interface work great with this iteration. The gameplay seems simple, but you really have to master the use of terrain and unit type to complete the harder campaigns.
Well worth the price for anyone who likes wargames/strategy.
 Majesco Should Be Tarred and Feathered May 11, 2007

An incredible game ruined by an incredible glitch. I thought the first one I bought was just a random dud, but the second one was just as bad. All the rumors about this game are true, and if you call the 1-800 number inside the instruction booklet for technical support, no one will answer. The phone just rings and rings. This was my favorite DS game of all time, until the earth caved in and sucked my cartridge into a black hole. Is anyone at Majesco paying attention to these complaints? I'm thirty bucks in the hole because some programmer fell asleep at the wheel. Is there a Majesco technician that can tell me how to get past the black screen on my game to fix my short login name? How about some practical help here, guys? Can you throw us a bone? At least let us know you're listening? Anything? Hello?

I sent this game to Majestic and they sent me back a new one that works. They explained to me that the DS should have a name with more than 4 letters in order that this games works.
Now it is OK.

Apart from the fact, that it doesn't match the PC games capabilities, it obviously went into production without proper testing. I have never owned a game before, that crashed so often. I have grown so paranoid about it, that I save virtually every second or third round. Nothing to add.
