Video Game Reviews of Risk Halo Wars
Customer Review: fun, fast, team mode, educational
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun game! and fast. the new rules make winning the game possible in 3 rounds (~60min). set up takes about 5 minutes. the first time you play, read through the directions (very easy to follow the step by step process) to set up--expect about a 15-30 minute 'getting your bearings' buffer. then you will be able to read through the directions while playing. in easy mode the game comes with scenarios, in which piece placement is already done for you. i haven't played the more difficult versions yet. my son and i play the 3 player scenario(if i feel like losing) and he plays the UNSC and i play the Flood. there are team mode rules that allow him to get full control of sectors without having to battle himself for control. else we will play the 4 player scenario and we both get 2 teams--UNSC vs the Covenant.
my 9yr old son hates math. but add in HALO to the equation and all of a sudden he's all like lets do math for survival of the human race! this game is based on reinforcements. in order to figure out reinforcements you have to add all your territories plus colonies, divide by 3, then add base, sector and card bonus. ((T+C)/3)+B+S+C=Reinforcements received. it is easy math, but to a 3rd grader, this is a great mind challenge. my sons math skill has gone up tremendously and he even said to me yesterday, 'dad, i'm starting to like school'. educational. very. and it teaches you patience and strategy. dont go attacking with all your troops. save some for defense (that is where the odds are). my son doesnt have this down yet--as i span across the board all his territories have one single unit. but, he is learning.
cons include cheap pieces. the pieces dont look durable, but to a kid this game is all about imagination.
there are somethings left out in the open, like "do achievements pass to different players?" and "what are the 2 other dice for?". probably answers easily found on the internet.
