Operation Armored Liberty for Game Boy Advance takes place during 2003's United States-led invasion of Iraq, designed to liberate the Iraqi people from the totalitarian regime of Sadaam Hussein as well as to eliminate potential weapons of mass destruction. The game focuses specifically on tank warfare with an action-oriented approach as players prepare to battle any and all resistance while advancing onward to the capital city of Baghdad. Players are strapped into the cockpit of an M1A1 tank, with enemy units appearing along the desert terrain and above, including mobile SCUD launchers, T72 tanks, and Iraqi helicopters.
