It's Halo Jim, but not has we know it!

User Rating: 7 | Halo Wars X360
Halo Wars is a good game, just not a great game. It looks and sounds great, It feels like Halo, it has a great human campaign, and the masses will lap it up.

The problem comes in a couple areas… Firstly there is no Covenant campaign. I get this sinking feeling that we will be seeing said campaign in a future DLC. If this does happen then we will all have been ripped off because it should have been there from the beginning (We are seeing this happen way too much in our games these days).

The second problem is the multiplayer… Halo wars has a nice selection of units, however due to balancing issues it is broken (anyone who has been defeated by 50 warthogs will know what I mean). There is very little strategy in this game. I would go as far as say that it is a RTS game for the FPS fans.


I think Gamespot's 6.5 score is a little heavy but I can see where they are coming from.
