The editors didn't like

  • Small unit variety.
  • Covenant not playable in campaign mode
  • Flood not playable at all
  • Small unit counts and map limit the scale of battles

  • Its quite a change from the Halo we all know and love but Ensemble (RIP) has done a great job. The RTS action is fun, the controls are surprisingly tight and the presentation is great. It wont thrill every Halo fan but Halo Wars definitely lives up ...

  • Abstract:  The video-games industry is so vast and varied that the satisfaction you get from a real-time strategy (RTS) game and the fix you get from a blood-and-gore shoot em up are obviously very different things.In most games I play, I look for some vestige o...

  • Intuitive controls, Captures the unique feeling of Halo, Gorgeous video animation
  • Small environments, Short-lived single-player campaign, Fixed base positions
  • A very worthy addition to the franchise, but one that offers more to Halo fans than RTS lovers

  • Ensemble has sculpted the first truly playable RTS for the Xbox 360, at the same time as masterfully juggling the all-important Halo ball. Its immediate successes and wider effect on the future of the console RTS cannot be denied and, while we would li...

  • Looks great, Controls brilliantly, Well balanced multiplayer
  • Uninspiring upgrade system
  • Just like the controls, the resource structure is quite straight forward. The way to collect resources in the game is either finding the scattered supplies sitting around the map, or building more supply depots, which are your only steady source of inc...

  • unglaublich detaillierte Zwischensequenzen, spannende Storyline, abwechslungsreiche Missionen, taktischer Basenbau, schnelles Gameplay, Kooperationsmodus, durchdachte Steuerung, professionelle Synchronisation, vielfältige Schlachtfelder
  • schlechte KI, viel zu kurze Kampagne, ...nur auf Seiten der Menschen, unausgewogene Mehrspielerschlachten, wenige Mehrspielermodi
  • Ich bin einfach hin und her gerissen. Es gibt viel Licht und Schatten, aber zum Glück scheint Halo Wars deutlich heller als die Fehler, die es im Dunkel des Gamedesigns verbirgt. Es entfacht eine unnachahmliche Atmosphäre: Die Zwischensequenzen sind ge...
