All hype and no play makes Halo Wars a dull game. While the cutscenes in between have stunning graphics, that still doesn't make up for the horrible controls. Making an RTS for a console is a risky task, but with the rig... Read Full Review

Halo wars is a RTS game of the massively popular FPS Halo. The game is good and fun, however it has added little new to the genre and is similar to many other RTS games. For an RTS on a console it is very easy to play... Read Full Review

great for a quick RTS fix, but get a new review.

Unless you're a big fan of online-RTS, this is a rent-only.
Overall: 6.7 The game is good, but it isn't great. The story is short and at only 15 missions you're going to be done quick. Unless you're a big fan of online-RTS, this is a rent-only. Ensemble has been closed down by M... Read Full Review
