Warhammer: Battle March for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The game on the PC is great, an easy 8 or 9 out of 10.

But it's nearly impossible to play with a controller. The comands are badly placed and have a massive learning curve, and even once you get the hang of them doing things like selecting groups of units, moving the camera to other units and issuing individual commands is vertailly impossible without a having a mouse to select units.

The game is rendered nearly unplayable for not having a pause button to issue 60 seconds worth of commands that would have taken 5-10 seconds in the PC version, while the A.I. is trouncing you in real time. While the A.I. can easily command 5 units at once outflank and steamroll units before you can even find them on the map.

I read the other reviews saying how hard the controls were to master but I was determined to figure them out. I am such a fan of the PC versions of the Warhammer series I thought it would be awesome on my flat screen TV. The first night I played I did the tutorial and sort of muttled through barely. The next time I went to play I was uable to remember all the commands. After pushing every button and combination of buttons I could think of, I gave up. I was unwilling to do the tutorial again and with the format looking quite different than the PC version, I decided not to waste my time. I have Command and Conquer and LOTR Battle for Middle Earth for Xbox to satisfy my strategy gameplay. If you have a great memory for game controls maybe you will have better luck than me. I'm sure the game is fun to play if you can remember the controls but I never got far enough to form an opinion on the actual game play. Hope you have better luck than I!
