Yeah I like this game ! I ve never played a game like this ever before. It's fun.

You should control your helicopter, your plane, construct an army (not in the beginning but in the middle of the campaign, use your special weapon ( and earn it with saving civilians). You'll have to control building with you soldier to earn money.
It's not only an action game, it's also a strategic game. Awesome on gba !

You'll have an easy mode (and i suggest to use it) and it's fun. It's definitely worth the money.

I am 44 years old and bought this for my long flight to Taiwan. However, after having almost mastered landing the airplane on the air craft carrier (after a long time of crashing) as well as taking out the enemy aircraft by diving from above...I play this more than Battlefield 2142 now.

My 3 year old loves to play the helecopter, although he doesn't know how to play, just flying and shooting the guns keeps him entertained. It's actually easier for him to enjoy this game than it is for games like Mario Advance.

Challenging enough to keep you going back for more. I don't like how they unlock the levels, however. A code is given to you, and if you forget it, guess what?

This game is great the action is fast paced along with the feeling of panic when attempting to secure new territory on the front line. Dropping in infantry units and strafing tanks and enemy sodiers makes the combat feel real. Excellent job, Trully is like a mini Battlefield 2, only restricted to aerial tactics.

This game is amazing ! Real fun action, excellent graphics and gameplay, and above all real depth in gameplay, a mix betweeen the old "Choplifter" and the more recent "Battlefield" !

This game doesn't look like another on GBA, and that's why I love it !

Super Army War for the gameboy advance is an action wargame played from a side-view. Basically this means that it is a side-scroller. You can fly an attack copter or airplane. You can fly anywhere on the map, shoot your gun or use missles to destroy enemy vehicles and infantry. The game mechanics is very similar to a classic game called "Choplifter", except here you can create units (soldiers and vehicles) and your units will automatically head towards the enemy and start fighting each other. Since the battlefield is divided in two halves, each army tries to conquer the most posts or check points. The more posts you own, the more money they produce to finance your army and build more units. Although I loved the graphics in the game, I thought the combat was the best part; droping a bomb on infantry units and seeing them fly was cool or seeing tanks blow up. The CPU is dumb as a rock but so are your units, and it basically becomes a race of owning posts. Personally I enjoyed flying the copter better than the plane, which had me crashing to the ground constantly because it was so damn difficult to control. The game is very difficult and has very little replay value.

Pros:
+real time combat
+your mini army
+excellent graphics
+good action
+good sound effects

Cons:
-very difficult, you'll die fast
-plane controls terribly
-cpu is stupid
-your army units are stupid
-basically a tug-a-war
-no replay value

I have played countless war based GBA games. This and Advance wars are by far the best. If you are the type of person who like the more direct in your face war action rather than moving spaces on a tactical map and shooting. This is the game for you. It is almost like a 2d version of command and conquer. You can build and create units. And activate 3 types of special weapons.You also lead your army to destroy enemy fortifications and establish forward bases. But making is even more fun is that you can pilot airplanes. Some people say that they dont handle very well. It is just based on realism.Because Flying and landing an aircrft isnt exactly a walk in the park. But spending some time learning the controls better makes it a devastating weapon of war capable of gunning down choppers and leveling bases and tank columns with ease.The chopper is a very versitile vehicle as well. While piloting the chopper you can create your land based vehichles and order missle strikes. Their armaments arent quite a mighty as the planes but is much better at annahilating infantry. They also can order infantry to get into their chopper and have them parachute down to take a base or attack an enemy. The backround graphics and landscapes are beautifully rendered making the game more enjoyable to play.This game both ads realism strategy and big explosions to the gba. A fantastic game. A must buy for any war game lover or killakame for christ crusade participant. ENJOY!

Do NOT waste your money on this game. The controls are non-existent. Your aircraft wobbles like a drunk. You hit down on the d-pad and it crashes, you hit up, it crashes, you hit left it crashes. To hit the bad guys you have to point the plane down but pointing it down brings it down. And the perspective of the screen changes depending on how close to the ground you are. I own over 375 gameboy games so trust me when I say this is the absolute worst, even worst than Blades of Thunder with it's awful graphics. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
