A few days ago the Halo Wars demo was released for free on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Since its release it has become the most downloaded demo on Xbox Live to date. Within five days it had been downloaded a total of 2,000,000 times. This single day download record was no doubt in part to it’s obvious relations with the high profile Halo franchise.
This game looks like it will be successfully linking the successful first person shooter Halo with a real time strategy game. They are a completely different genres which makes me wonder how many of those 2,000,000 downloaders got what they intended?
What did you guys think of the demo? I’ve heard the interface is one of the better console interfaces for a strategy game; however it still isn’t as good as those of computer strategy games. Are you going to purchase this game for $60? Let me know what you thought of the demo and the game play.
