Great story line game, as well as multiplayer action. If you like Driving games or shoot'em up games this one rocks. Multiplayer gives you great maps, vehicles and weapons to play with. I recommend you have a great video card as well as a fast CPU.
Great fun

Halo for the Mac is one of the best games made for the Mac os X platform. It's very smooth and has an engaging storyline. Now I want Halo 2 to be released for Mac!
A great game

A great game that lived up to my expectations. graphics are a little blurry when you zoom, and it will lag sometimes, but otherwise perfect.
Can't get enough!

Yes, it costs twice as much as the Windows version, and it took a while to come to the Mac... but it's here now, and it's still worth the price!
Graphics looks much better than the Xbox version, and best of all, you can play online for FREE (unlike Xbox Live).
Btw, the best mouse for this is NOT the MS one, but the Logitech G7.
Still fun

This game has been out on the market for a while now (almost 5 years since it's copyright) for xbox and PC, and now mac. Even with the sequel already released and the third on the way, this game will be a favorite to go back to. It is not hard to see how this game has acquired the following it has--fast gameplay, intriguing storyline, and a flow from level to level that keeps you at your screen a little longer than you said you'd be just so you can see what comes next. A great video-game experience.
The best

This game is most likely the best FPS I have ever played. I highly reccomend it to anyone that is interested.
Great gameplay. Questionable plot turn.

My (9yr old) son and I both enjoy this game very much, and come back to play the more enjoyable levels from time to time.
The decision to include CREEPY(!), zombie-like aliens put my son off the game; "Papa, could you get past this level for me?". I know, it's a "mature" game; but he enjoys many other "mature" games, all the way through.
Anyhoo, beautiful graphics, great sense of immediacy (we both lean and duck in our chairs, trying to avoid getting hit), and high replay value.
Not so great multiplayer

I've been playing Halo for years on PC and loved every minute of it. So when my PC died and i got the new macbook, i decided to purchase this timeless classic for well over $100. When i got onto multiplayer, there were only about 12 servers compared to well over 100 on PC. Not really the fault of the game which is why i still rated it high but lost a star due to few people actually playing it online.
arghhhh...

2 months late? no tools? almost $20 more? Sure does make the Mac version less attractive.
Anyways, aside from that its a great game, and the multiplayer is far beyond addictive. There are new weapons, new multiplayer maps, and the awesome single player game still intact.
