Halo is going to be great on the XboX, according to NextGen it is going to be one of those games that will sell the system, the demo for the computer is great but they have completley re-vamped it for the XboX, get this game you wont regret it.
Way, way better than part 2

Halo blew everyone away when it came out because no one was expecting it and it was one of the beat looking games of its time.
This is definately a good game to play if you've never played a first person shooter. Also if you have an Xbox, you should get this because it is awesome.

Well, actually [$$$] piece of garbage because you had to buy the Xbox. Before I begin, I'll list the good aspects of the game:
The graphics are good
There I've listed all the good qualities of the game. now for the bad:
*The enemies are kind of difficult to shoot
*The weapons are stupid
*The controls are difficult to use
*You had to buy the Xbox (another piece of [garbage]) to buy this piece of [garbage]
*The story is stupid, (you are on the last ship of the aliens that tried to destroy the planet), why couldn't they destroy the last one?
*The multiplayer levels are stupid
and the last, and biggest
*It was published by Microsoft
AAAHHH!!!
Save some money, if you want a better game with multiplayer and you want to fight something non-human,
get an N64 and Turok 2.
PS. If you want a good...First Person Shooter get a PS2, Red Faction, Half Life and XIII.
Halo in Dolby Digital

I am so addicted to this game, it's owned me for the last week. For those of you that followed Bungie's Marathon games (on the Macintosh), you will see many nods to that series within this game. I was originally ticked that Microsoft bought Bungie, but after seeing Halo on the incredible XBox, I'm over it. This game is amazing, and a definite purchase if you are a sci-fi shooter fan. If not, then I'd recommend the Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee game, which is equally amazing in it's genre.
For all you MGS fans, XBox will get an enhanced version of this game in early 2002, so play Halo now and MGS later.
Halo Is The Best Shooter Yet!!!!!!

I have never seen a game as good as Halo as Conkers Bad Fur Day on the Nintendo 64. I picked up XBOX along with Halo and the second I started playing I saw the best Gameplay I had ever seen and AI's better than The Sarge's Heros Series. I only used to have N64 and I think anyone who buys Halo will agree with Me.
Superb First-Person Shooter... much like Half-Life

I like this game to Half-Life. This is a fun game to play with just about anyone. I am not a huge fan of FPS-style games, but I definetely liked this one and it is by far the best one out on any console system.
PC gamers are just jealous.....

First off, I own this game, and it is the best game I have ever played. The graphics, gameplay, multiplayer, the list goes on. I'm tired of hearing PC gamers saying "FPS's can only be played with a keyboard and mouse." Thats a bunch of bull. I am an avid PC gamer, and I own Half-Life. A controller is much easier to use than a keyboard. You have to move with the directional keys, look with the mouse, hit a bunch of buttons to do simple stuff, as with a controller, you just hit a button, and they are all right infront of you. Computers were meant to compute, game systems were meant to game. Maybe you PC gamers would just realize that consoles are a much more efficient way to game. Anyway back to Halo, it's utterly amazing. If you own an Xbox, get this game. You won't waste your money.
In a nutshell -- it rocks!

Alrighty -- You've read plenty of reviews and whatever. Here's the poop. This game is incredibly fun to play. Somewhere between the stereo sound that told me to shoot left and the fun of chucking a grenade to launch your enemy over a cliff, I found myself quietly going through some hallway, only to get the (...) scared out of me when some alien popped out of nowhere.
Incredible.
Lucky for me my instinct was to pull the trigger....
Seriously, I'm familiar with the gaming world and all the types, although I place having a life above that. In a world competition, I'd lose. I thouroughly enjoy this game, and crank up the sound (much to the dismay of my wife). If and when you do play it, make sure external light is at a minimum. The controller takes exactly 5 minutes to get used to, so you don't have to look at it. Ignore your mother's warnings and play this in total darkness. You'll be impressed.
Another Bestseller

I think that HALO will be the best game out for the Xbox so far in history. I have long awaited one of these types of games to come out for a new sytem. Although HALO might appear great, you might want to think about some other things for a change, such as how long the game is, how many levels there are, how many weapons, and how much the gameplay is. I am not trying to put this game out of order, I'm just telling all you gaming fans such as myself, what this game really is. If you'd like to know more about me, go to my more about myself area. This game is a hit! no doubt about it!
It's Great
