1UP:HALO WARS review

1UP:"Is this the "Halo game that RTS fans will enjoy / RTS game that Halo fans will enjoy"?"

TOO PAWNED5542d ago

I told you it will be mediocre.

GamerPS3605542d ago

It is great RTS for console. I have not played any RTS and Halo Wars is easy enough for me to get into, at least, judging by DEMO.

I didn't like Halo1, didn't play 2 and didn't like Halo3 (not saying bad games but it was just my type of shooting) but I am very excited for Halo Wars. It actually replaced SF4 from my buy list (buying it later).

I will be getting this game along with KZ2 and RE5 on release date.

Since when B = Mediocre? C = mediocre this is a good game.

caladbolg7775542d ago (Edited 5542d ago )

Giving a "B" to Halo Wars is being generous. Have you actually played this game before, sofocado? It's the very definition of mediocre. That's not a bad thing. But it's not a great thing either. It's just OK. HW does some things pretty well, but it disappoints in a lot of other areas. The positives and negatives balance out and you end up with a mediocre gaming experience.

I don't want to spoil it for you. Just go out and play it. Also, my girlfriend worked on this title. In that way, I may even be giving it TOO MUCH credit. Maybe?

Edit: The 1up.com score has been posted on metacritic. The numeric value ended up being a 75/100.

The Halo Wars Formula Has Potential to Fit More Microsoft Franchises

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb408d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni407d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay44d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic717d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure716d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade716d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure715d ago (Edited 715d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer993d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
