It’s the 20th of February, I am now allowed to talk about Halo Wars. I wrote a 1500 word review for my site, unfortunately it’s in Swedish. But don’t worry I will tell you about the things that you should know before buying the game.

I recommend Halo Wars for those who aren’t that deep into the RTS genre. It’s almost like a normal RTS but without a free base building system. You’ll have a base with three, five or seven platforms and there you are free to build what you want. This part of the game is one of the absolute best. A lot of times in the single player you will be forced to have only base and then you must choose between ground units or air units. I think that this is quiet innovative, the game is all little more strategic both offline and online.

It’s a really nice story in Halo Wars. Captain James Cutter, Sergeant John Forge and Professor Ellen Anders are great characters and put a true Halo feeling in the game. All the UNSC units and all the Covenant units look really great and are fun to play with.

Online is where all the Halo games shines and Halo Wars isn’t an exception. The covenant bas is stronger and they have also the strongest units, but the UNSC have the crazy special abilities like Mac-blast that basically blows everything away in the area, they can also heal their units. Every UNSC leader has their special ability. On the other side, the covenant has the crazy units and the leaders who fight with the normal troops.  This makes the game extremely fun and balanced. It’s an awesome game, 5/5.
