I believe this game will get around 75% to 80% average review scores when all of them are in. A good game though worth giving a shot.

TeamXbox just uploaded their review

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1659/Halo-Wars/p1/

Halo Wars - 9.0

Some hardcore peeps might find it thin, but it's perfectly tuned for everyone else.

The Halo Universe in perfect miniature. Sweet.

Awesome original soundtrack that plays with classic Halo music themes.

Skirmish mode for loners, multiplayer for online freaks. Thats years of entertainment with some DLC (you know it's coming).

If addition is the result of subtraction then yes. Wait, it can be, right?

Awesome! It's doing fairly well. I'm still on the fence on whether I wlil buy this or not. Sooo many great games from the last two holiday seasons that I haven't thoroughly completed. I'll have to get through all those first and trade them in. By that time, this will be a little cheaper and there'll be 10 other games I want to play. lol
