The Halo Wars for Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corporation is an thrilling strategy game based on the legendary Halo universe. In campaign mode, you get to command the armies of the UNSC warship Spirit of Fire along with familiar and new UNSC units for the initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind. This game will immerse you in an early period of the storied Halo universe to experience events leading up to the first Halo title for your console. With the guidance of Serina, a spirited artificial intelligence (A.I.) persona, you can also direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs, Scorpions, and more, which display their own strengths and uses in battle. The adventurous commanders in this game can also call upon ancient forerunner technology, if they are fortunate enough to find it hidden throughout the battlefield.
The Covenant forces, on the other hand, are waiting for you to lead them into battle in multiplayer skirmishes via the Xbox Experience. Furthermore, this game lets you call upon an arsenal of 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 are sure to emerge victorious in this action-packed game

Reviews & Ratings for Halo Wars X360 Halo Wars seems to be a bad version of Age of Empires and loses its fun after a while. The game has good graphics and gameplay but it just isn't that fun and gets old really fast.

Reviews & Ratings for Halo Wars X360 Several have tried but fall short when attempting to put Real Time Strategy games on consoles. Being a big time Command & Conquer fan, I felt those games fell a bit short, primarily because they couldn't translate the rather complex command input structure to the simple xBox controller. Halo Wars set out to build a game using the xBox controller, hence the reason there is no PC version of the game. And the got it right. Simple and sweet, the game is a blast to play, whether your just out for a skirmish or the deeply immersive campaign mode. Two Thumbs Up.
