  • Summary: Halo
  • Comment: Great game, as fun as the console version. Multiplayer is still running strong even after more that 5 years since its release.

  • Summary: What does this button do?
  • Comment: Although this was by far The Best FPS(First Person Shooter for all you n00bs out there) I have ever played,(except, perhaps, its numerous sequels)it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I wasn't sure how much would be missing from the sequels, either.
    *Pros*
    *Great Graphics, Almost 0% glitchy
    *AWESOME weapons,Sleek armor
    *Realistic Vehicles,Believable Story(for science Fiction)
    *Tension, Drama, and epic enviroments
    *Liveable condtions. On, quote: A giant Hoola-hoop

    *Cons(There are a few)*
    *Blotchy Terrain(Multi-player only)
    *Missing a lot of my favorite things from the sequels
    *Can't place Bots(Computer controlled Models)in multiplayer
    *Can't use certain weapons the enemy has in single-player(the energy sword turns to dust if you try to pick it up)

    Overall though, still a great game! Can't wait to get halo 2!

  • Summary: How could anyone feel like this game is repetitive?? Red vs Blue is on there 8 season!!!
  • Comment: So, any whack job who decided to call this classic piece of work with a 4 or less star rating, let me just say how terrible foolish you are: this game kicks all FPS butt.

    Why??

    1. Boom Booms (guns), aliens, marines, and totally retarded pistols that have the greatest stopping power.

    2. Single player knows a good plot working within the limits of the Xbox, even better for PC players, cause the look is better.

    3. Multi-player is a little better because two extra weapons are added: Fuel Rod Gun and Flame thrower.

    4. Easy and fun hacks and mod servers that are hilarious.

    5. Music is most becoming and fitting.

    6. did I mention lip-sinc is actually good, and the sound effects and voices perfect??

    7. Blood and swearing: only two things pop in my head: WWII and Halo.

    don't miss out: its the best FPS thats actually affordable on the market: It will probably go on as long as Starcraft has been out, so no rush
