    Got it from Black Friday sale, nice price and arrived on time. It's still wrapped and under the Christmas tree so I am giving it a four star only but hopefully my son will like it.

    Good game, but not as good as the OG Halo Wars

    This game is good and all, but not really anything THAT new to the table. I played countless hours of Halo Wars, but not quite getting into this one as much. Still, it's good, controls are pretty good, it's fun with a friend. They change the campaign more to objective based, rather than build a huge army and annihilate based. If you enjoyed the first, you'll probably enjoy this one though!

    I love RTS games, so the OG Halo Wars was a no brainer pickup for me. Surprisingly the first game was amazing, especially for a genre that isnt that popular, especially on console. Halo Wars 2 doesnt dissapoint either. Some of the leader powers have changed how they are used, but other than that the game has just built on the greatness of the first game

    An RTS on a console?

    This is a pretty good RTS (real time strategy) game for being on a console. With that said, if you have never played an RTS game then you will enjoy HW2. The story line is good and the cut scenes have excellent graphics. PC veterans, however, will find this game rather limiting.

    A fantastic follow up to the original. Wish they would add mouse and keyboard support, would certainly make the game easier to complete on the harder difficulties. Great multiplayer when you can get a group of friends together. A must play for fans of any of the Halo games.

    I wanted to try Halo Wars for some time. Simple and easy to get in strategy game. Found it a little boring and not too challenging but I’m sure that it will delight any Halo fans out there.
