It keeps true to the story of Halo, but I found the game to be simple and a bit boring at times. It does provide for some entertainment as you get to control your troops which is what RTS games is mostly about, but the graphics are in no way comparable to what you'll get in a PC game. Having completed the advance tutorial before jumping into the game, I was disappointed when I realized that you couldn't play as the Covenant, but only when you get to the Multiplayer mode.

Good game nonetheless and can only expect sequels to come.
