Nintendo’s Advance Wars is a fantastic series. The franchise took the normally intimidating war/strategy genre and boiled it down to a very playable, very rookie-friendly game that managed to offer all the depth of a good war game without all of the confusion. Now that style of game comes to Xbox Live Arcade with Commanders, which apes the popular Nintendo franchise with great success.

The idea behind Commanders is to move your various units through large maps, fulfilling mission-specific objectives while carefully managing your troops, buying new units, and capturing various buildings and bases. The challenge comes from the "fog of war," which covers the relatively big maps based on your units’ line of sight.
