Err..
Not a really great game. it reminds me more of chess than fighting but some people like that. And for the purpose that its more stategy there is less violence.

there is only some violence, because you can only see blood in the cutscenes because you are to far away to see it when you are playing. Sure there will be a few bodies flying around, but that why its rated teen

Well made strategy game
Halo War's is a great game for both Halo fans and fans of strategy games. It takes place 30 years before the very first game, exploring the war between the UNSC Marines and Alien Covenant. It's also the first T rated game, as the violence is less graphic then the games released before. The game is actually kind of simple. There are different "slots" around the map that you can capture from computer controlled factions ((Human Rebels/Forerunner) and use to build bases. Then build buildings in more slots, using them to upgrade or build units. The campaign is pretty solid, with a decent plot and varied objectives. I cant say anything about the online game though, as I dont have it. Overall, a decent addition to the Halo franshice.

awsome game!!! :)
It is not a first person shooter it is more of a stratagy game which I personly like just because you have to think. Not the best graphics but still good.

Good
Halo Wars is OK, but Skirmish and a lot of other stuff is not as good as Halo 3.

Hmmm...
This is a good game, only problem is that the games is not a first person shooter(FPS), it's a real time stratagy(RTS). Unless you like those kinds of games, don't get the game!

Kids 10 and up can handle this strategy game.
When I bought this game I thought it was going to be another violent first person shooter Halo game. But this isn't violent, bloody, or gory at all. This is a strategy game and all you do is command your squad/team where to go. Not very fun but not very violent as well.
