Excellent Real Time Strategy Game!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always been a huge Halo fan. I have every Halo game ever made including the first Halo Wars. I really like the first one and I was not disappointed by the sequel. Being able to finally play this highly anticipated game was very enjoyable for me and even better than I had hoped. It is an amazing addition to the Halo series and a nice variation when you want something other than a shooter. I would definitely recommend this game to both new and old Halo fans and especially to anyone who likes strategy games. It also came with a limited edition figure that not only looked pretty cool but was valued at almost $30 so that was just an added bonus of getting it at Best Buy. See the attached photos to view the figure.

Good Sequel to Halo Wars 1
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this game mainly for the story before Halo Infinite comes out but played good. If you liked Halo Wars 1, you'll probably like this also I think Halo Wars 1 had a better campaign. Didn't play the multiplayer.

Halo Wars 2 review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent game that I own physically and now digitally thanks to a good sale best buy was having. Beautiful cutscenes, but unfortunately less of them than the first Halo Wars, there is also dlc that extends the campaign with small storylines adding new characters to the universe. Fun to play online or offline with skirmish mode

Great Console RTS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you liked the first one, this one is much better IMO. Some of the controls still feel a little weird but it's an RTS on console so I don't think you'll get away from that 100%. But they still did a good job at mapping everything out for the controller. I got this for $16 it's well worth it at more than that.

Amazing game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My very first RTS ( Real Time Strategy ) game was Halo Wars. I went into that game not knowing anything about it, and not even knowing if I would like it at all, but as it turns out I absolutely LOVED it. So Halo Wars 2 was a no brainer to me, it was a day one buy. If you know what an RTS is and have experience in this genre of games then you know what to expect here. Base building, troop development, land and air, vehicle & armor , weapon development etc etc etc............ then of course moving troops and etc from one place to the other to complete the objectives of the game . Sounds simple and boring? LOL, it is not, you will have multiple things happening at once, not all the time but it will happen, you may have troops engaging a target and more somewhere else engaging some enemy somewhere else and then your base comes under attack and you have to mange what is happening there as well.. Don't think this will be to much to handle for you, the game is set up in a way that you can quickly move from one engagement to the other very very quickly and seamlessly. Most RTS games will be found on PC, and few have been developed for Console, but the way the game has been tailored for controller control instead of mouse and keyboard it is absolutely outstanding. the controls are simple and easy to remember and understand, allowing quick response for what ever situation you find yourself in during the game. Story - The Game begins as the crew from The Spirit of Fire awaken from cryo sleep due to a distress signal from an instillation called the ARK. Upon deploying a Spartan team to the Ark to investigate the signal, the team encounters the Atriox, a Brute that has risen through the trials of war to become the most brutal and fierce leader of a rebel covenant faction. It is now up to you to stop this terrible threat and save the galaxy and the human race.. This game will also impact the Halo 6 story line, which is very interesting because the original Halo Wars had no impact at all on the games that came after it. I love this idea and upon playing the upcoming Halo 6 title I will remember and be able to reflect on what happened during Halo Wars 2, and why the things happening in Halo 6 are happening . Halo Wars was a game that was set in the Halo universe but had nothing to do with the main line Halo titles and the Master Chief, and that is not the case with this game and the upcoming Halo 6 main line installment.. What a great idea, I absolutely love it and absolutely cannot wait for the inevitable Halo 6 release in 2018. Graphics - Absolutely gorgeous, detail everywhere, you know you are playing a Halo game, there is no doubt. The cut scenes are absolutely AMAZING, and the original Halo Wars was no slouch in this department either, but DANG they are beautiful in this title, and just help immerse you into this game and the Halo universe. Voice Acting - The cast in this game are top notch as you would expect from a AAA game release. There are a few characters throughout the campaign that are better than others, but that is to be expected just like any other game or movie, but over all the voice acting is exceptional to further your game immersion. Sound - If you have played past main line Halo titles you will be right at home here, from the sounds of gunfire to the pop of plasma grenades, it's all here. The Scorpion tanks, Warthogs and all Covenant vehicles sound absolutely great and just like they should and are definitely what you remember. Also just like all Halo titles this entry has an excellent orchestral sound track that's just puts you into the Halo universe and keeps you there, simply amazing.. Conclusion - This is an AMAZING title for everyone not just the Halo fan base, there is just so much fun to be had here. In my opinion this game is well worth the purchase price, and I urge everyone to pick it up. Solid 5 out of 5

Great RTS for a console
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’d been having serious RTS itches and couldn’t find anything on Xbox One to scratch that itch. Well I saw Halo Wars 2 and decided to give it a shot since the first was actually pretty decent. So far I’ve been experiencing a very interesting story in the campaign and being challenged by the difficulty settings. It’s by no means a great RTS but it’s by all means an amazing console RTS.
