Halo is the second best game ever. Halo 2 is the best. Halo is fun and has graphics that are off da fa shizzle dizzle. There are only 2 problems with this game
#1. you can't ride banshees
#2. you can't hijack vehicles
The rocket launcher, the shotgun, and theSniper rifle are the best weapons and the ghost and warthog are the best vehicles.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Halo is a science fiction based game.It is also a First Person Shooter.Arguably the best shooter to date.Halo takes place in a futuristic imaginative world.With aliens bent on filling out a prophecy.You play as a cyborg/human who is the last of his kind.Created by years of work and research.

You fight the aliens (the covenent) gun to gun in this epic other wordly game.You guide marines in battle and go over many landscapes.From beaches to mountainous snowy horizons.You crash land on an ancient planet.With an mechanical touch.It's name is Halo and it's shaped like a ring.

Hordes of aliens out number you,but you have many options on how to approach this.You can creep about and take them down one by one or gun them all down and toss a few grenades to sweeten the deal.

This game has builtin co-op wich is the prime meat of this game in my opinion.Co-op lets you replay the story the same exact way but 2 cyborgs now take on such a challenge.You and a friend can easily overcome the on comming frauth easily with teamwork.Change the diffaculty and let your enemies now have a bigger one-up on you.They are now smarter and stronger,and they actually use these new abilities.
The multiplayer plays out like any other FPS,gun down friends or catch a flag.Heres the catch you can make your own game type awsome.The vehicles are stunning and crafty from the tanks to the gohst(a futuristic enemy craft).The weapon variety is fantastic.Handguns are nice with an optical zoom for tactical operations.Snipers and AR rifles are in here with nice new touches.The alien weapondry is vast and advanced and lower shields easily.

Fight a parasitic creature the covenent fear and find the truth of Halos purpose at the depths of Halo center.Work along side your fellow marines to the very end and last but not least make it out alive.

This game is kickass!!

This game is really freaking fun. Most of the other reviewers have said what I want to say, but I wanted to add that this is a funny game too. The comments have me in stitches sometimes. The soldiers are known to say things like "get up so I can kill you again,".

Great game, probably my favorite combat game out there.

An Incredible game for the X-Box & FPS genre

This is a FABULOUS game in every sense of the word...if you are a FPS fan. Graphics, Sound, Gameplay...all phenomenal! The storyline, cinematography, Artifical intelligence of the characters are top notch. Built from the groud up for the Xbox (unlike titles like Max Payne), it makes ample use of all the X-box features (i.e. HDTV, Network Gaming, Force Feedback). If you have an X-box this is a must rent, Chances are you'll be clammering to purchase it. A lot of fun, I hope other games for the X-box turn out as well.

The best console fps to date.

If you own a Xbox I can't see you justify not having this game! This is definate the best console fps (first person shooter) out there, most console fps's have the stubmling block of not being able ot offer the precision aiming required for many fps games on a controller, somehow halo overcame this and the aiming is fine tuned as well as any fps I've played on consoles and I've played almost every console fps worth playing. The game features a good many levels, however there is one major gripe here, while there are around ten levels ( I cant recall the exact number at the moment) most of the levels are repeat levels just playing it backwards to an extent, and some levels are THE EXACT same room after room, the level design is mediocre in my opinion, if you can get over that this is an amazing game thats fun to get into. You have a variety of weapons to choose from including human and covenant (the alien race in halo) The game offers a variety of ways you can play through the scenarios offering much replay value (plus you can play through levels again witha a friends offering a new level of stategy). The most fun however involves the multiplayer matches. Unfortunatly no bots are availible but if you can hook up a bunch of people to a lan through a switch routher or something of the sort using network cable (in my experiences if you hook up more than 2 xbox's, which requires some sort of ethernet hub you cannot use system link cables to get it to work right so be warned) but multiplayer is unbeatable and insanely fun. My friends an I have actually organized halo parties to play multiplayer. Hightly recommed to any xbox owner, however with the pc version on teh corner I have a hard time telling you to buy and xbox just to play it when you can soon play the pc version online :D

HALO is number one!!..try playing it on the xbox 360..it will blow you away!

first off i loved this game since i got it for christmas with the first xbox system..i mean its why i wanted a xbox to begin with..
this game has fantastic graphics high replay value and a great story and great characters... master chief can take on joanna dark anytime while saying "is that the best you can do??" without even breaking a sweat LOL perfect dark zero?? no thanks.. halo and halo 2 are the real deal :) cant wait for halo 3 on the x box 360 :)

ok when u play this on the x box 360..it feels different..in fact better! ok its halo turbocharged .. the controles seem to be smoother and the cut scenes are now presented in widescreen format..not bad at all ! and the graphics are smoothed out more..to the casual eye you cant tell but if you are a hard core halo gamer it rocks !

play halo..and stay away from games like perfect dark zero..and quake..which are just pale rip offs its my opinion and im entitled to it...nuff said..

Best FPS I've ever played.

The graphics are amazing, the controls are splendid (and utterly customizable), and the multiplayer is intense. There's a fantastic variety of weapons from Sniper Rifles to alien Plasma Rifles. And much to the enjoymant of so many, there's finally a melee button. Tap it to smack an enemy in the back of the head and get an instant kill. Instant gratification. Yes, the story is just any generic Sci-Fi story for most gamers. But spend a few minutes at fan sites and learn about all the story going on behind the scenes... there's much more going on than is immediately obvious.

There are also three interesting featured of gameplay that define Halo gameplay.
-Shields: You have a rechargable shield that automatically recovers itself to save you. If you can keep the damage down, you are essentially invincible. The problems start when your shield hits 0 and won't recharge until you can get out of open fire.
-Tactical combat: Unlike Quake, this is not a twitch game. The gameplay is a step faster than Counter-Strike. Action is a bit slower than most games, but in that it becomes much more intense. That extra moment when you're lining up a shot trying to get that last-moment kill make the experience so much more.
-No magic pockets: You can only carry two guns (and your always-present melee ability). You'll spend tons of time thinking about the battles that lie ahead and what weapons to take. Ah... the Sniper or the Rocket... what to do... classic FPS gamers tend to complain until they set down and see the real strategy in the choices.

But something sets Halo apart, and it's the attention to detail. Fire your assault rifle and listen closely, you can hear individual hammer clicks and the chambering of each bullett. On a big outdoor level, stop for a moment and you can hear the wind whistling through the terrain. You can hear birds chirping in the distance. Watch an alien run to get in position, and you'll hear feet/boots clacking and armor smacking as they move. And if you've ever played Bungie's previous series Marathon, you'll quickly notice a million tiny connections. The detail makes it great.

Not to mention the detail in the physics engine. I don't want to spoil too much, but there are a LOT of interesting tricks that this engine is capable of. For example- putting explosives under a vehicle flips it over. Getting more gets it airborne. Pile up two dozen grenades, and you get something special...

Near perfect.

My company bought an Xbox for the breakroom and about 10 games for it. Halo immediately became the favorite and has been since December. Halo is unlike any console game I have ever seen. In fact, I have yet to see a PC game match is fluidity, realism and near seamless animation.

The campaigns are fun, but in my opinion, not the game's main attraction. Halo's main attraction would have to be its multiplayer modes. We have gone so far here as to link up 4 Xboxes and play 8v8 on some of the games larger maps. What a blast, even our wives would have to admit we are having a better time than they do at their scrapbooking parties.

As far as first person shooters go, Halo is not really my favorite genre. I prefer the more realistic types like half-life but Halo is just so well done I have to make an exception. The only flaw I see with the game is that the campaign levels are too repetitive.

A creative Masterpiece for the new generation of Gaming.

This is deffiently the greatest game for the XBOX system. It has great graphics a nice story and great special fx, weapons, music everything that takes a good game, its like an album with 10 songs in it, its like the debut album for a great band, that has the most original creative juices flowing.

First off you get instructions and what not, and a great story - 5/5

Difficulty has 4 different and equally fun versions of play - 5/5

Multiplayer is great having co op, and vs. modes with many different games for each - 5/5

Level 1 - A great opener for an intense game, have good story and introduces you to the play. 5/5

Level 2 - Another great level about fighting on an all terrain force, and rescuing soldiers. 4/5

Level 3 - Quite possibly the BEST level on the game. 5/5

Level 4 - A good fun album with a beach head mode in it. 5/5

Level 5 - Another great epic battle level. 5/5

Level 6 - A new enemy has arrived. 5/5

Level 7 - Though lengthy this level is great. 5/5

Level 8 - This level is possibly the most un entertaining level in the game, its too long and to numbered. 3/5

Level 9 - Were drawing closer and closer to a close here - 5/5

Level 10 - A fast paced good end level - 5/5

Price - Great for what you get. 5/5

So there you have it, the greatest game for xbox right here.

My son loves this game....

and so do all the other boys in the neighborhood. I appreciate the fact that you aren't fighting/killing PEOPLE, but rather aliens. Great graphics!
