Video Game Reviews of Halo Wars Limited
Customer Review: Halo Wars: Limited Edition = Best RTS to date!
Summary: 5 Stars
I pre-ordered this from my local video game store back in March 3rd, and now I decided to give it a review after several months of enjoying it.
Campaign [9.5/10]
The Plot takes place 20 years before Halo: Combat Evolved. The game starts with Alpha Base under attack by Covenant Forces, and from there, the story just keeps getting better. The Campaign is challenging, but it's worth it. Even if this Halo game's not by the epic Bungie Studios, it's still epic overall. Campaign has some units not im multiplayer, like the Rhino, and on tougher difficulties, enemies are usually stronger, along with the addition of more enemy units.
Skirmish/Multiplayer [10/10]
Skirmish is where you play on multiplayer maps against AI enemys.
Multiplayer is where you play against other people via System Link or Xbox LIVE on multiplayer maps.
Both of them are awesome.
In multiplayer/Skirmish, you build an army to destroy other armies, AI or other people. It's excellent because of the unique abilities and some AI in there hidden.
Now for the Limited Edition stuff:
Flaming Warthog & Unique Honor Guard Wraith [8/10]
These unique skins make the warthog and wraith look cooler, but they dont do anything besides give the warthogs a cool skin.
Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack [10/10]
I got Halo 3 Legendary Edition last christmas, and the Mythic Map pack adds more awesome sauce to Halo 3.
Sandbox is a super customizable map that is recommended for any game type.
Assembly is a covenant like map that is recommended for team slayer and king of the hill.
Orbital is a space station map that is recommended for infection and team slayer.
Other Limited Edition stuff [9/10]
There are other limited edition stuff, like a book, collectors leader cards, and a cool patch. These are all collectible and really cool to collect and have. The book shows how the crew of Spirit of Fire crew got together. The leader cards tell you all the multiplayer leaders bio's, info, and special stuff. The patch is not a magnet, and is really cool for halo fans.
Overall score: [9.6/10]
Customer Review: Horible Ai and disapointing though great interface
Summary: 2 Stars
Im a HUGE fan of rts games. the ai in every game I have played is better. it seems to easy. Ensemble studios falled short of my expectations. the interfaf is probaly the only reason I gave it 2 stars. It is not a fun game. though I admit I was not a fan of halo.
PLEASE dont waste your money on this game.
it is probaly worth $5.00
Customer Review: You have to pull me away from this game!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is great. Always inviting friends over for hours of fun.With HDMI hookup and surround sound, my friends can't stay away from this one. Customer Review: Halo Wars Limited Edition = Win
Summary: 5 Stars
I first tried the demo on Xbox Live Marketplace and was instantly hooked, and shortly thereafter found out the limited edition is the same price on Amazon as the regular edition is in stores. So if you liked the demo, and like to save a little money, pick this up.
The game works very very well for being an RTS on a console, at times the game can be choppy but really only if you have a bunch of squads on the screen at any given time. The music is great, very Halo-like.
At first I was expecting to play both the Human and Covenant campaigns but I eventually found out, its the Human missions and thats it, 15 in total. But the game also includes a nice Skirmish mode and Online Multiplayer. I myself have yet to explore the multiplayer but the skirmish gives you a good idea of what it might be like.
If you've played the demo and liked it, and if you have Halo 3 but haven't bought the Mythic Map Pack I strongly recommend buying this.
Customer Review: Wicked game, plus good extras.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good game! I recomend this to any halo fan, except the people that are all FPS and no story. The extras are cool bit a little useless. You should get THIIIIIIIS!!!!
