Just went out on my lunch from work and got myself Halo Wars for the 360. Cant wait to get down in the dirt with some covientants in this awesome RTS Game by Ensemble and Microsoft Studios. I played the demo with my brother and boy was it awesome. Anyone else buy the game today?

I played the demo with a cousin a couple weeks ago, and to my surprise it was pretty fun. Base construction is pretty limited and the game suffers in the same ways every console RTS suffer (no mouse). I'll definitely wait for a PC version to come out before picking it up.

yea, wasnt worth it. console RTS are pretty much phail for me.. no mouse. CFPS games are too, but they are fun so i buy them anyway -.-... but yea, tried halo wars, not worth 20$...... or anymore (however much it costs). i found it pretty lame, SC is where its at XD
I really want to try it. But at the risk of sounding like everyone else, I also am wary of playing it without a mouse. You'll have to let us know how smooth the gameplay was.
Played it at a friends house. For a console RTS it is done extremely well. Fun addictive gameplay. Probably not on the level of SC or c&C or WC but its damm good
They incorporated it to be SO easy to use with a controller.
I just played the demo, it didn't WOW me, then again I don't care for halo. But don't let the lack of mouse fool you, the controls are nice and smooth.
I rented it, its quite simple to play and the controller works better then I thought it would for a console RTS game... not really a Halo fan but its decent so far. The co op is great, fun to play with friends.
I agree with most of you here...this game does need a mouse for better gameplay like starcraft or warcraft. But all and all, you get to slam hordes of convient and human armies against eachother. This game was made to be really strategic as you can accomplish victory through anymeans. It even goes into a little rpg mode when and if, you control the leader of your army. The story line in campaign mode also fits pretty decently in the Halo universe.

I saw on my Xbox last night that there's a demo for it. I'm gonna download it and try it out tonight. I remember seeing the screens for this game awhile back. I actually thought it looked pretty fun.
