Well let me just say this: The Halo series is out of this world and any game in it should be bought without a doubt. Now, Halo Wars is very good with good graphics and great game play. The controls are fairly easy and the story line is very interesting. This game is definitely worth buying. But, as everyone knows, the economy sucks right now. So what im doing is waiting a month or two and get the game used. That is my suggestion but do wat u like.

I'd get it as well, but unfortunately, I'm no fan of RTSs.

No matter what, there's no doubt it is a pretty decent game, but I don't think you should buy it so soon. Halo Wars received a lot of mixed reviews from critics and fans alike, and Ensemble Studios went under, so I have a strong feeling that within a few months this game will be $30.00. I would wait to buy it until you can get it about that cheap, as it won't be that long til then.

Why not just download the demo, if its still available. Or better yet, rent it out for the night.

You are the only one that decide if you like it or not. A million people could tell you its great, you buy it, then hate it. GTAIV for example, pretty much EVERYONE thought this game was the bee's knee's. I rented it out and thought it was a steaming pile of ****!

FYI - I liked HW. I dont like RTS games much however, but its more of an Arcade RTS. Its not to complex, anyone can play, looks & sounds great, and its plenty of fun.

I didn't really like it that much.. I'd say try the new Command and Conquer games too.

Depends on why you want it. Read my blog. I just made a big ass article on the game, so if you like what you read get it. All I'm going to say is it's a good game. It's fun.

Don't get me wrong, Halo Wars is a very good game. But I don't think it's worth full price.

seeing as the game is a console RTS dont expect it to be very complicated as other people have stated. but i am a halo fan and will wait this one out, because i cant justify a console RTS for full price, even with the halo title. the game does look amazing graphically which is always a plus and the multiplayer should be good.

Definetly a good game. The story is good enough to keep you interested. I had a little trouble on the Scarab level, for those that know what I'm talking about. I bought my copy on ebay used, came like brand new since the game berely came out. Got itfor 45 shipped. I've seen a couple new/like new copies for cheap buy it nows on ebay from good sellers. Might wanna check it out, it's usually what I do.

I wanted to support Halo Wars in stores, but unfortunately the funds have been short lately because of life pretty much. Not to mention all the games coming out, and I had just recently bought Killzone 2 and Street Fighter IV. I definetly recommendHalo Warsto people though.
