    If you liked the original Halo Wars then this is going to be a love affair. It's all you liked with the original with all the increased performance of new hardware and technology.

  • Decent Game - Not a great follow up

    I will preface this review with that fact that I love RTS games, and I adored the first halo wars. This game felt very thrown together, the story was uninteresting, and inconclusive, and very short. I felt pigeonheld by the upgrade system, and the time limits on missions don't line up with how an RTS structure works. I recommend waiting a while on this one. Definitely not worth full price.

    Same great gameplay as the original Halo Wars on the 360, but does not "rock the boat" in terms of innovation

    After completing Halo Wars on 360 many years ago, I wondered when the Halo Universe would return to the strategy genre. Unfortunately, this game fails to chart its own course and sticks close to the formula established almost 10 years ago in the original. If you loved the original, pick it up. If you weren't sold before, this title will do little to change your mind.

    Most people don't associate the Halo series with real time strategy, but then again here we are. The game pits Spartans and Covenant at each other again, and the game starts excitedly from the ground running. The game does lose steam though, and while the soundtrack is albeit excellent, there are far superior RTS games to invest your time in.
