This game is great my son loves it. best buy on the other hand fell short here. game was to include an action figure, the only reason we purchased game at best buy. when we picked up game the action figure was not available, we were told to pick it up on release day. we went on release day to pick up the action figure and they couldn't find it. they claim they showed 2 in stock. We could have purchased digital thru Xbox. my son was really upset that he didn't get what he purchased. Very disappointed with best buy. they blamed distributor, yet they showed 2 in stock.

Never been big on the RTS' for console but so far my son says he enjoys it well enough which is saying something since he's such a PC centric gamer.

A welcome return to RTS Halo Wars 2 provides smooth controls and interface to a dying genre. I'm glad some companies still see an investment there.

Great RTS game but wish more people bought it. Servers seem low populated. Other than that great game when you could actually find a match!

As with any RTS, it can get repetitive, especially if you don't play online. But the game is fun and has a solid story nonetheless.

The ultimate edition is worth the buy since it came with the first halo wars and a season pass. It's a pretty good game.
