Ensembles Swan Song, I have to admit this game was all it was cracked up to be. Not a bad way to go out.

Certainly keeps true to the story, but...
As an avid RTS player for the PC platform, this was my first purchase outside the norm and for an actual console. It keeps true to the story of Halo, but I found the game to be simple and a bit boring at times. It does... Read Full Review

Although the game is lacking a Covenant campaign, so is therefore too short, the gameplay is fun and easy to control.
My only real complaints with Halo Wars are very few. I was very disappointed that there is no Covenant Campaign, this made the game feel way too short, and could have help further the story and create and understanding ... Read Full Review

A solid RTS for consoles, easily recommended for fans of Halo and players new to the RTS genre.
I think there are two ways to look at Halo Wars. First (and worst)- In comparison to other RTS games (PC games included). When you look at Halo Wars and compare it to games such as Age of Empires, Warhammer, or C&C i... Read Full Review

Good controlls and multiplayer make up greatly for the shortcomings. I definitely reccomend as a console RTS

Very ambitious title sets the standard for console RTS gaming. A Must-Have if you are a fan of the series...
This game has its flaws... There, that's out of the way. Yeah, if you have ever played Starcraft, then this game could almost pass off as a major ripoff. Aliens that infect other races, Aliens that are hellbent on Human ... Read Full Review

A great game but could use some work. Also a good addition to the Halo series to date but kind of sad at the same time.
A great game don't get me wrong but for Microsoft a kind of a let down in a way. I think the campaign is ok but could maybe different in some occasions because most of the time you are doing the same type of mission 4 ou... Read Full Review

This game is worth it, but not worth it at the same time.
