And as far as people go for bashing on its simplicity, it's actually a difficult task to make and RTS game complexed on a console without making it clunky and difficult to get into. The ease of playing rts games on a pc is widely thanks to a mouse and keyboard, Not as easy to do with the limited buttons and sticks on a console controller.

Mouse and a keyboard for hotkeys and multigroup control FTW

But from what I have read and seen, most consolites prefer to have less buttons to control a game, because they think that having many is too complicated. Maybe these people arejust fanboys trying bash the PC, but who knows.

But what they prefer is kinda irrelevant to what I said. I wasn;t talking about preferance, it's just flat impossible to make a good complexed RTS with a controller. Though just for the hell of it I'm primarily console and I don;t mind having a keyboard and mouse, hotkeys are ok in my mind.

That's exactly my point. ou just don;t have that many options with just four face buttons and the shoulders.

Ya know, I think people may have misinterpreted this entire thread. By saying that Halo Wars would 'expand' the genre, I think he was talking about the demographic. Star Craft will most likely be the better of the two games, but it's hard to deny the fact that Halo has tons of fans that will buy the game because of teh Halo brand and from there get curious to try other RTS games. I doubt he was saying it would be revolutionary. It's just going to simply expand on the audience.

It's actually pretty good, it's a fresh break from the Turn Based FF games...And yeah it is an action rpg with a FF twist. Good game, definetily worth buying.
