Famicom Wars

Being a foot soldier sneaking through enemy lines feels surprisingly tense for a strategy game, and the vehicle sections add a nice change of pace. I've spent hours on this already and keep unlocking new ways to approach each mission.

Jumping into one of those vehicles and mowing through enemy lines is just as satisfying as I'd hoped. The controls for aiming and driving feel surprisingly smooth for a GameCube title. This version really nails the balance of strategy and action.

Being dropped behind enemy lines as a foot soldier feels way more intense than the top-down view I'm used to, and that first time I hopped in a tank and started rolling over the opposition was pure chaos in the best way.
