Halo Wars - Whats Your Opinion?

[Jordan.H]

Do you love it or hate it?

I personally hate the fact it didnt come out on the pc because imo RTS was made for pc but i got it on xbox 360 and i think they have dont the best job they can do considering its console rts. but what do you think?

Meh, I have the demo on my Xbox 360. But it seems like it will get boring quickly, the controls are fairly hard to use, even for an experienced gamer like myself, but it could be fun for some people. Personally i wouldn't go out and pay $90 - $100 for it.

Halo Wars is still a good game though. If you're a big Halo fan like me you would be pleased be to see that the graphics, sound, and story are very much like the Halo trilogy. The cut scenes are very well done, the story is interesting and everything looks, moves and sounds like a Halo game except there is one big problem.

The problem is the actual gameplay and gameplay is the most important part of a game. This is a strategy game and the problem is that to finish the game you don't need to use any starategy whatsoever. You can just blast through the entire game without putting any though into what you're doing which isn't a lot of fun, making the game very simple.

So it's a pretty good game, but really not worth your money.

I reckon it's just a rehash of the classic age of empires formula as with most of the microsoft developed RTS games: battle fr middle earth, star wars battlefront etc...
Might be good if they added something new but apart from the fact that its Halo I can't see the difference
