THIS MEANS WAR!!

Halo Wars is a game that was given a lot of bad press. People always complain that the game is bad or, that it is not as good as the other Halo games. This is partly correct as when compared to the other games Halo Wars isn't every good. However all those who say its bad are first person shooters, so to them a strategy game is boring or dull. Which I think is probably the problem, it's only fan base are from the books or from the other halo games. As a strategy game it is great,not as good as some of the Warhammer games, but still good. The mix of classes and mix of abilities really vary the battle and outcome.The problem is the platform, the Xbox. Selecting your units is difficulty and time consuming because you can't select the units you want without dragging like you can with a PC. I think the future of console strategy games is probably something along the lines of End war. Being able to command units verbally really speeds up the battle. Just as long as the console understands your words of course.  All in all the game is pretty good, as long as your into halo and strategy gaming, so this may be more suited for those who read the books than those who play the games.
