This system allows the player to control two players at the same time which adds another layer of strategy to the game.

Field Commander for the Sony Playstation Portable is a turn based strategy tactics role playing game that has a realistic, modern setting. The game supports local multiplayer, and something called transmission mode, which is very similar to the old school play by email system. The game is a near clone of Advance Wars for the Nintendo GameBoy Advance, therefore lacks in originality. The only real difference between the two games is that in Field Commander you can destroy terrain and use the transmission mode, otherwise the game is just a re-skinned Advance Wars.
