The only decent RTS on console. That one was made specifically for the 360 so the controls were optimized for it. I kinda liked it.
So is Halo Wars ok or not?
I've avoided getting it numerous times even though it was cheap.
It's worth a try now that it's fairly cheap.
:shrug:
It plays well for what it is albeit a super simplified RTS. It's really up to you if you want to spend a little on it.
Snerk... heh... hehe... Ha ha ha HA HA HA HAHA! Relaxing he says. Creepers, Spiders, Zombies, Skeletons with Swords, Skeletons with Bow-and-Arrow, Skeletons with Sword or Bow ON A SPIDER, Endermen (Slenderman). At night crawling around (or UP your home in the case of spiders) to attack you, at day your only real threat is the Creepers until you go underground, where everything lurks. Creepers explode upon contact, tearing out huge chunks from your home or the earth. God forbid if they're struck by lightning as their blast radius becomes on par with dynamite in that case! Even when you have the game set to Peaceful mode, you can still hear them creeping around inside the walls of caves and even your basement. I often hear the spider's skitter, the clacking bones, and the mournful moans. It's like they are waiting for you...
When you enter a hellish plane of fire, lava, and warped rock, you encounter a whole new set of foes. Blazes are creatures of fire, a strange fire/crystal elemental that shoots fireballs. Ghasts are ungodly jellyfish ghosts that sound like children until they open their mouth and eyes revealing they are Death given shape. Their fireballs actually explode upon contact with the ground. Magma Cubes are a sort of fire-Slinky Slime. Slow, but much easier to kill than their fellow Nether-dwellers.
And finally, there is The End. A dimension of beige rocks and obsidian towers home to just one creature: the Dragon. Hide of obsidian, eyes like a Nether Portal (an ethereal purple glow), it cannot die as long as the strange crystals surrounding it exist. The problem is that the Dragon flies, the crystals are out of reach, and the crystals restore its health over time. And there are a lot of crystals. The beast swoops at you and then flies so far out of reach that your arrows may not land and the world it lives in is an island suspended in the Void so if you're not careful you may fall while dodging the Dragon's attack.
There is a reason why I play Peaceful mode. I may be a coward, but I am a living coward.
