I just finished Halo Wars 20 minutes ago. The game is easy to play and features the best controlls ever for an RTS on a console. I stopped playing some time ago becuase RL-problems were huge and I had no time to get my hands on it again.

Overall:

8.8 / 10

I'm not trying to be a troll or anything, but how does Halo Wars stack up against PC RTS games like Empire: Total War and World in Conflict when it comes to pure strategic thinking.  I have heard that Halo Wars is a little light in those regards, and would like to get the opinion of someone who has played it.

I haven't played Empire Total War or WiC, sorry. I do play a lot Warcraft III though.

Well you have to think strategically in the multiplayer. The imbalanced ruined this a little bit though. You knew what the opponent will do and you still had a very hard time to counter it. I haven't played online after the patches went live, so there might be an improvement now. It is hard to do a comparison with other RTS, because they are on PC or they just suck on consoles. It is like comparing a Halo FPS to counterstrike. It is not as strategical as CS, but it is fun.

Go out and pick it up, you will find this for $10 now.
