Not as keen on this one as the previous game, can't seem to get into the new combat style they have adopted, still playable though specially if you're new to the series

Halo wars 2 not as good as the first but nice addition story was lacking a bit

Easily the best real-time strategy on a console, and a fast-paced, accessible wargame that every Xbox owner should try and experience.

The controls work perfectly and are extremely easy to pick up; Excellent multiplayer options, including campaign co-op and the surprisingly good Blitz mode

Appallingly uninteresting plot and characters that threaten to sap the life out of every scenario and cut scene; Bland art design and sometimes uninspired missions; Short campaign mode

Many, many years ago I got a glimpse of my first Real Time Strategy game in the form of Command and Conquer: Red Alert on the PlayStation. It was game that very much pushed the boundaries for strategy games on console - my excitement later turned to intrigue, confusion and frustration as I struggled...

Campaign is deep and thoroughly engrossing, Controls are streamlined and simple enough for anyone to pick up, Blitz is so much fun; breathes new life into the RTS genre

Skilled RTS players may find it too simple; Lack of freedom for base-building; Blitz deployment is a little iffy around the rest of your team

Rebuild and reclaim different areas as you race to stop a brand new enemy who is hell bent on wiping you out.

Halo Wars 2 is the best RTS you can play on consoles today. Whether you're a Halo lore junky looking to toy around with the campaign or a competitive RTS player looking for intense multiplayer matches, you can't do much better than this.

2009's Halo Wars was perhaps the only game on a console to get real-time strategy right. It was made specifically for the Xbox, and the developers went in knowing that certain PC real-time strategy conventions would have to be sacrificed for it to work right.

The original Halo Wars was a bit of a cult-hit when it released in early 2009 as a legitimate console RTS, gaining a hardcore following that would keep the community alive for years to come.

Contained and focused story; Deep RTS gameplay; Blitz Mode; Blur CG cinematics; Fun cast of characters

A few slower missions

Bought this and it's amazing game graphics brilliant

This game is very good and easy, however is alot different from the other one but is fun and not boring
