For purposes of full disclosure, I love the Advance Wars games (with the exception of Day of Ruin). I picked up Field Commander for the very reason that every review that I read of this game clearly stated that it was a pure rip-off of Advance Wars. In my mind, a copy of a great game is still likely to be a great game, right? After playing Field Commander for 5 minutes, one thing became painfully clear: This game is really ugly to look at. For a system as technologically capable as the PSP, I can't believe something this hideous game was ever released. The pacing seemed sluggish, and the combat animations were very lackluster. I played this game for about an hour, and then couldn't take it anymore. With 3 great Advance Wars game available to provide hundreds of hours of enjoyment, why waste your time with Field Commander?
