    it's an RTS
    it's called Halo Wars
    and was designed by the creators of Age of Empires

    RTS games generally don't do very well on consoles

    -----------
    Halo Wars picks up 20 years prior to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. We asked if that means there are only two playable races, as presumably the humans have not yet encountered the Flood. To that, we were given the somewhat cryptic response that no humans that we know of have encountered any other alien races or the Flood at this point. Perhaps a hidden third playable race will yet be revealed. In any event, the game follows the UNSC support ship Spirit of Fire, its crew, and Serena the shipboard AI through its trials and tribulations while fighting the Covenant. ---------

    RTS with a controller is a pain in the butt.

    they say the studio spent alot of time on the control mechanics

    why they don't just offer an adequate mouse/key accessory is puzzling

    I cannot compare, as I am a console dude, but Command and Conquer was pretty easy to control. It was also a relatively fun game. I'm assuming that this is the same type of game. Tho' I'm new to the genre. I will likely try this just because of my familiarity with the Halo series.

    I'll give this game a try. Don't remember if I've played any game like it a lot. There was this game with old Chinese tribes fighting each other, I think it was similar :ha:

    What would make it not work well with a controller? Need a mouse to make quick moves?

    go download Battle for Middle Earth (LotR) or Command and Conquer-Tiberium wars and see if RTS gaming on a console is for you

    if not just get it on PC

    they make adapters for using keyboard/mice units with the 360, but no official accessory that i know of
