Product Description
Halo Wars is a strategy game based on the legendary Halo universe. In campaign mode, players will command the armies of the UNSC warship "Spirit of Fire," consisting of familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind.
With the guidance of Serina, a spirited A.I. persona, gamers will direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs, Scorpions and more, each group having its own strengths and uses in battle. Adventurous commanders can also call upon ancient Forerunner technology, if they are fortunate enough to find it hidden throughout the battlefield.
Covenant forces are also waiting for players to lead them into battle in multiplayer skirmishes via the New Xbox Experience. Call upon an arsenal of new and familiar Covenant units such as Grunts, Elites, Ghosts and even Scarabs to defeat foes on the battlefield. Strategic-minded players who react well under pressure will emerge victorious.

Fun:
Okay so RTS' don't work for consoles. The limited number of buttons on a gamepad will never be a match for the hundreds of combinations of a keyboard. Having said that Halo Wars works surprisingly well.
It does a good job of a tricky situation running fluently and fast. The best bit of Halo Wars is you can play all your favourite characters and factions that you know and love. A small annoyance is the rather short campaign length however its Multiplayer offer unlimited hours of fun after the Singleplayer is exhausted.
A definite must have for Halo fans and RTS fans alike. A-grade game

I bought this game not expecting much but as soon as I started playing it I can't put it down!
Fun:
When Halo wars was anounced I knew I had to have it, but I was cautious because of the bad experiences I have had from other console RTS games such as C&C3. When I first got the game I was amazed by just how well it works, at first there was the odd frame rate drop however they actually patched this and the game runs as smooth as silk. The controls are one of it's biggest selling points, they are simple to master, and they are responsive. The Radial interface makes constructing, and training new units a breeze. As for the graphics they look fantastic. This game was designed for consoles from the ground up, and ensamble have done a terrific job it is sad that ensamble have shut down, as I would have loved to see a sequel.
The only real bad point is that the there is no covenant campaign, and the multiplayer/skirmish maps are a tad small for an RTS, there are also some very rare path finding issues with the scorpion tanks, but these don't really subtract from the overall gameplay.
A good choice for anyone looking to get a console RTS.
