Review: Lego Battles (DS)

By  •  Reviews, DS

Lego Battles is one of the few Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games to be released for the Nintendo DS, but it’s also one of the best.  If you thought that an RTS couldn’t be done on the DS because of speed, think again.  Lego Battles has every bit of speed and strategy as a game like Command & Conquer or Age of Empires.  With 6 distinct story lines spanning 90 levels and also featuring local wireless multiplayer, Lego Battles is a game you won’t want to push to the wayside.
