Quick review

The good
Easy to play, Halo theme, nice graphics
The bad
Nothing majorly ground-breaking
Verdict
Looks to be a well-polished RTS that will keep RTS fans happy and most likely appeal to the Halo fans looking for more Halo action

  • Our time was brief, but it's clear that Halo Wars doesn't look to be a game-changing RTS that will make you sit up and think: "Damn I need to own it when it comes out".

    What the hell this is a brilliant game (well teh demo that i have played) it doesnt really matter if yoru an RTS fan or not, i think that all the people that will play Halo 3 or have all 3 like me, will go out in the shops and buy the game straight away, and that is what im going to do even though im not a fan of RTS, going to pre-order the game tommorrow (Limited Edition) seeing as you get 3 new halo 3 maps for playing onine that wont be released for another month, gives me a head start, so i can practice on the maps, so i know were all the best weapons, shorcuts are etc...

    If you a Halo fan reading this then im sure you will agree with me that this game is going to be superb no matter what ever the person who reviewed it says, as they get paid just to review games, therefore not a true gamer!

    I played it and whilst better than expected, I had extremely low expectations. It's gash and I am not even being paid to say this ;-)
