Who has Halo Wars? My cousin told my bro to get it. Is it a good game that both him and I can play? Your input is greatly appreciated.

What is the difference between a duck?

In short, yes you should buy it. Across the board people call it the best RTS ever for a console and it is the truth. All of the controls are perfect and it couldn't be any more true to the actual Halo content while not being a shooter all at the same time. You are guaranteed your money's worth.

It's not a bad game, but it isn't even close to being called the best RTS for a console across the board. lol It's a solid game though and my suggestion would be to get it if you are into RTS games. If not, this probably won't change your mind.

Neo is right, Halo wars isn't the best console RTS but it's pretty god-damn awesome. Xbox360 has a wide range of RTS's (( When compared to other systems )) and if you're not a halo fanatic, and you're just looking for a good RTS on a console, go for Endwar or one of C&C titles.

I'm not trying to say Halo Wars isn't a good title, it's just that if you're more after a RTS's not a Halo game, you might want to spend less money yet still get your gaming experience from other titles. :3

Unlike Bungie's Halo

Halo Wars presents both Halo and RTS Elements

Double the attraction and has alot of players..

It is one of the best RTS out there, and ultra uber awesome!!



You'd love how well the factions were set up, along wuth it's levels, als and Campaign !!

I would wait to get it. halo wars looks very interesting. I just don't think it's worth $60 for my tastes yet.
I would recommend waitng until it's $30 or less.

I DOUBT the price will drop 30 dollars. Maybe 15-25 if it is used.

I'd recommend getting this game. You have no idea how satisfying it is to completely slaughter the Covenant.
And yeah, I'd advise against the 80$ version, Halo Wars: Limited Edition, unless you're willing to cough up 30 extra bucks for 3 Halo Maps that will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace in the near future anyway.
So, I'd go for the regular Halo Wars, which is around 50$.
And if you want to wait for the price to drop, you may be waiting a while. I think it takes a month or two for the price to drop. Halo Wars: LE probably won't drop, since its called 'Limited Edition', they'll probably start pulling it out of the stores at some point. So if LE is the one you're after, I'd suggest finding a way to make around 85$.

A good game? Yes.

A game that deserves the worship its gotten? No.
Its gameplay is copied from another game.

But yeah, I can say its a good game, suprisingly good strategy game for the console.

Can you name a game which does not copy it's gameplay from another game?
