Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: More often than not, when a game is in development for more than three years, it does not live up to the hype. Bungie's Halo is the exception. Not only does it meet expectations, it greatly exceeds them. This sci-fi first-person shooter is a nearly perfect blend of gameplay, graphics, and sound. The story revolves around the conflict between humans and an alien race known as the Covenant. The aliens have discovered a powerful artifact--on the ring-shaped planet called Halo--that will shift the balance of power, and it's up to the player to stop them. In addition to several first-person-shooter levels, the game offers numerous opportunities to engage in vehicular combat. Both the enemy and allied artificial intelligence are extremely impressive. Enemies will use the terrain and layout to put you in tight spots. Allies will know when to cover and aid you. For instance, if you hop into a jeep, an ally will know to jump in and man the turret on the back of it. The graphics are exquisitely detailed, but only move at 30 frames per second rather than 60. The sound effects and voice acting are superb. The level design is among the best ever; most of the game is engaging and challenging without being frustrating. There's also high replay value thanks to the built-in single-player, cooperative, and deathmatch modes. Much like the outstanding GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64, Halo raises the bar for console first-person shooters. All console action games will be measured against Halo for years to come. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros:
Amazon.ca Product Description: This action shooter takes place on a mysterious alien world. It offers a combination of team-based first-person-shooter gameplay (reminiscent of Tribes) and third-person vehicle combat elements. Gameplay kicks off with the player heading down to the planet's surface in a troop carrier, à la Aliens. As the player and fellow marines exit, the remaining troopers form a flank in reaction to an oncoming onslaught of human and alien enemies. It's this smart AI system that makes for a noticeably unique gameplay feel. Another very nice feature is the seamless transition into vehicular elements. As you venture through mission objectives, a variety of enemy flyers and on-ground buggies are yours for the taking. Come across a vehicle and the camera will pull back to a third-person view as you strap in and motor through crossfire. A co-op mode allows a friend to join you in the single-player missions. For chaotic fighting action, up to four players can duel in split-screen deathmatch mode or link systems for LAN play. However you choose to hero your way through Halo: Combat Evolved, the action should break in your new Xbox in explosive style. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Can't F-k with Halo, baby!This is the reason why the Xbox sold, the defintion of console FPS shooters is here. Unlike many games, Halo offers a sanbox style of play, while still focusing on the traditional genre that is belongs to. There is a lot of beautiful looking enviroments that look ok even today, with quite a few indoor. Vehicles are a must, you'll have a blast playing co-op with one player in the gunner seat, and another driving. Multiplayer is lacking however, only because of the size. There still is no online support, unless you use a thing that barley anybody knows about. You can always try to use system link, but microsoft is apparently not making these anymore... This is one of the least violent M rated ... Read More: Rating: - Excellent GameThis game is awesome! Ever tried getting 8 friends linking your xbox's together with 2 tv's and battling it out? hours and HOURS of fun. You can change the multiplayer settings to have different guns, same guns, change the spawn times, play capture the flag... SO many options! Working together to drive a vehicle and having another shoot from the back of it is always fun and jokes. It's a great multiplayer first person shooter! If you don't feel like going head to head, grab a friend and beat the different campaigns available! Have no friends? STILL GOOD! You can shoot every alien or bug in the single player campaign! Too easy you say? Well play it on hard or legendary if you feel like challenging yourself. I perfer Halo 1 over Halo 2 due to the ... Read More: Rating:  - Some people here really do talk garbageAs a designer and AI programmer in the video games industry, let me set some people straight. There are plenty of reviewers here who appear to be talking far beyond their realm of expertise. This starts with the editorial review labelling as "extremely impressive" the AI that sees allied soldiers jumping on the back of a jeep to man the gun when you've stopped nearby. WOW! Do you know how long that would take to implement? About, ooo, a day and a half. You run a routine that checks for stopped vehicles nearby that have the main character in the driver's seat, you navigate towards it using the existing nav and collision avoidance routines, and you retarget a sit-down animation, locking it to a joint matrix on the vehicle. That's half a ... Read More: Rating: - It -is- pretty good.After having my Xbox for 7 months, I gave in and finally got Halo to see what the big fuss was about. Reviews on here keep stating that this is the "best game ever made". After going through Halo on normal and Legendary difficulties, it isn't anywhere near the best game ever made, but it is a pretty fun and good one. And I'd be willing to put this on a top 50 games list. You play as Master Chief, a top soldier whose job is to stop the Covenant from eliminating the human race with a "weapon"- Halo. Latear on, you find a new enemy- the Flood, who is also fighting the Covenant. For a FPS, the managed to put a few good story elements in. Halo's true use is revealed, and it turned out to be something new and not just there ... Read More: Rating: - Too easy............Too easy people say well maybe people shouldent just play the game on easy how about try hard or legendary or just hard. this game is great got it a year ago and still playing it. go out to the store and buy it. it's a hell of a bargen at $25.oo bucks |
