Halo Wars is a strategy game based on the legendary Halo universe. In campaign mode, players will command the armies of the UNSC warship "Spirit of Fire," consisting of familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind.
With the guidance of Serina, a spirited A.I. persona, gamers will direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs, Scorpions and more, each group having its own strengths and uses in battle. Adventurous commanders can also call upon ancient Forerunner technology, if they are fortunate enough to find it hidden throughout the battlefield.
Covenant forces are also waiting for players to lead them into battle in multiplayer skirmishes via the New Xbox Experience. Call upon an arsenal of new and 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 will emerge victorious.
Features:
- New take on a legendary world: Experience the early battles between the UNSC and Covenant, in a time predating the original Halo. Join the crew aboard the Spirit of Fire, a Phoenix-class colony ship converted for UNSC military use, and guided by the A.I. persona Serina. Discover an ancient artifact during a journey to the planet Harvest, the first planet to be attacked by the Covenant. And then get ready for the wars.
- Strategic command of armies in large-scale combat: Gamers are in command of the battlefield, playing as either of two unique civilisations: UNSC or Covenant. Counter and crush your opponent by tactically fielding the superior army. Choose among leaders possessing elite skills that can turn the tide of battle. Use various combinations of leaders and units, and create countless strategies tailored to your preferred playing styles.

AMAZING
Halo Wars is a brilliant game that's well worth buying. I never get bored of it and the server is good, so you don't lag all the time.

Great game
Most people don't have much love for Halo Wars. But I actually like it. It is a different kind of Halo game. I am a big fan of strategy games, and this is my first strategy game on Xbox. I was a bit skeptical about the execution and the ease of control. I was surprised that everything worked great. The tutorials are short and easy to follow. The commands are easy to remember, the battlefield is easy to navigate, and the units are easy to command. Inside you can find a code to download additional maps and game modes from Xbox Live for free. I would recommend this to every strategy fan, that is playing on the Xbox. If you are a Halo fan, but don't like strategy games, it is very likely that this game will feel like a letdown.

Halo Wars ( Classics )
Not a bad strategic game, came sealed, and is a good product. The game was surprisingly detailed for a console game. Not bad gameplay if you're into strategic warfare.

Halo Wars (Classics)
Halo Wars is a great game. It comes with bonus maps and game modes, which is excellent. The only problem is the lack of players online these days, due to the age of the game. Most of these players are highly experienced, and know the ins and outs of the game, so anyone new to this game online will struggle for a while until they pick up the best tactics. Campaign mode is superb, with 15 missions in total with plenty of playback material. It still doesn't compare to the FPS halo games though, but it is something different within the Halo universe.

Halo Wars
I bought this for my son, and by the look of it, he isn't disappointed one bit! The graphics look good, and the game-play seems very action-packed. It's a game that definitely keeps you on your toes. I recommend it.

similar to Command and Conquer
Halo Wars is very similar to Command and Conquer but much better to handle on the Xbox360. It's a big fun with well known enemies from the Halo games. Great fun for all Halo or Command and Conquer fans.
