Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with Halo Wars 2's engaging gameplay, compelling story, and fun campaign. The new Blitz mode is a welcome addition, offering a unique and enjoyable experience, although some consider it to have elements of pay-to-win mechanics. Players also praise the well-adapted controls for console RTS gaming and the overall single-player experience. Halo Wars 2 is considered a strong entry in the console RTS genre.

    Bought this for my nephew who is a HUGE Halo Wars fan! He was not disappointed. There are not many options for Real Time Strategy games for the console...luckily this on is GREAT!

    Decent strategy game, dumbed down a bit for console play. If you're looking to scratch an itch for a console strategy game, it'll do. Lots of multiplayer options, short campaign.

    I like the single player version more in comparison to online multiplayer. Although the game lagged in some instances over the whole game play, I enjoyed the single player mode.

    He plays this all the time with his buddy and they enjoy the gameplay style, not your typical halo FPS game, didn’t realize until I saw him playing it

    The game is highly addictive, & very fun, recommend getting this edition, get 1st Halo Wars & a bunch of digital bonus content on top of the season pass, definitely worth it!!

    Seriously, this game is very reminiscient of the original and is still very good. It's streamlined, with an interesting story, and some interesting new game options.

    This is what Halo Wars 1 should've been, All the characters here are all memorable than the ones before, and the RTS gameplay is even better with more features!

    I have waited for this game for so long. I am a huge Halo fan. Best Buy preorders are never a disappointment. I even got an extra item I had no idea was coming.

    Just like the old Halo Wars, but with upgraded mechanics and better movement. Very fun game and totally worth buying if you even slightly enjoyed the first one.

    It is a good game but it is hard to play with a controller. Seems like it would be better for pc with a keyboard and a mouse.

    Another good entry in the Halo universe. Good spin on the traditional RTS mode with the Blitz game type. A must buy if you enjoyed the first Halo Wars.

    The game is intense and the video prelude/ lead in is really intense and well done. My son is still playing it and enjoying it after many hours.

    This looks promising! I loved the first game. Hopefully they do not try to change too many of the core features of the game! I'm looking forward to it!
