What the hell you can't even be wonder woman what kind of super friends game is this?
And, the game relies too much on multi-player games. I don't have any friends to play with!!

a big dissapointment

1 Graphics are horrible and looks like a SNES
2 Enemies are dumb and you can just shoot like that EASY
3 it's a dumb and easy easy game and you should not buy it

I am big fan of dreamcast and the ps2 hence very excited about getting the xbox. BIG mistake...this is the worse system i ever bought. 1st the console..its big, ugly, and very flimsy. then there is the controller..its way too big, and the buttons are are positioned way too close together not to mention way to very small buttons. 2nd the game (halo) the graphics are not that good, and game play well where is the game play? just shoot thats it. SAVE YOUR MONEY don't get the XBOX!!!!!!!

New to Xbox? GET THIS GAME!!!

As my first xbox game, I discovered how amazing the graphics can be. Foot and vehicle combat is awesome when put together and mixed in with lifelike environments.
You are the last of your kind - and you must take the marines and discover Halo's dark secrets. Halo is an ancient alien ring where you play on the inside circle of it. Circle-Halo-get it? Cinematic briefings and other parts of the game bring the plot's detail in very well. The disk also includes many microsoft xbox game previews, some interactive, so you can pick your next game. I don't want to say too much, so as soon as you get an xbox (good luck!!) get this game. check out Xbox.com for more info

Excellent game.

Halo is truly spectacular on a widescreen tv and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound system. I am at a lost for words.

MUST BUY!!

This game is awesome. There is nothing else like it out in the gaming world. Driving a warthog is the coolest experiance I have ever had in a game. Disabling a security system is only the beginning of Halo's many challenges. A must buy for anyone!!

its good, but rated mature?

This game looks like one that can really give xbox a leverage in the game console. It has awsome graphics, great gameplay, etc. But is it really mature. If you were to go to a site and look at the strategy guide,a dn even the cover- you would find in the left hand corner it has a big fat "T" for teen. i want to know which one it is before i rush out and get this awsome game. If you can get mature games- get it, if not- pray for the game to be teen

The Game That Changed The Gaming Industry Forever!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say, this is Halo!!! This has to be one of the best games, of 2001!!! Halo reigned supreme as one of the best and most innovative games of all time, which gave the Xbox an edge over the other systems!!! This game has been declared game of the year in 2001 by major gaming giants which include:-IGN.com, -Electronic Gaming Monthly, -Official Xbox Magazine, and about 40 other companies!!! Some quotes by these companies include:
"One of the best shooters ever!"/ Videogames.com
"... one of the best games in recent times, on any console, bar none."/ Electronic Gaming Monthly
"This is the most important launch game for any console, ever."/ Edge Magazine
"... Halo's single player game is worth picking up an Xbox for alone."/ Videogames.com

... as you can see this game took the world by storm and began a new generation of first person shooters!!!

Most people, who own a xbox must have heard of Halo by now since it has been on the market for about 5 years, still one of the best games around too!!! Games like: Halo 2, Doom 3, Star Wars: Republic Commando, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, and Area 51 are just some games that were influnced by Halo's example of what a real game is supposed to be!!! If you don't own Halo, you have been missing out on a lot, don't hesitate to BUY!!!!! You can now buy it cheaper than ever at prices $19.99 and under!!! Just buy it, you won't be sorry!!!!

Halo as a game is strongly put together from single player action to some great split screen action!!! If you wan't to hear the story you should buy the game but, I will you a brief idea what is going on!!! You are the last of the Spartans ( a elite group of cyborgs), the rest were destroyed at the human colony of reach by the Covenant or group of aliens battling against the human in an everlasting conflict!!! You and the Pillar of Autumn flee Reach and make a blind jump into space hoping to lose the Covenant, which didn't work out to good!!! The game begins with the level "Pillar of Autumn"!!! You start off with a quick tutorial and almost immediatly face the enemy!!! You make your way to the bridge and meet Captain Keyees an important person in the game, and Cortana another important role in Halo and Halo 2!!! Your mission is to make surse Cortana, a super computer who is a holographic projection of a women, that you put in your head as a chip, look I tried my best to explain about Cortana, but it is easier to buy the game!!! From there you help out some marines and fight your way off ot the ship!!! You and the survivors land on Halo, and from ther the story kicks off!!! You then play through the level "Halo"- during this level you rally the surving marines, in hope of forming a effective ressistance!!! Then you move on too "The Truth and Reconcilation"- Your objective is to board a Covenant Crusier and rescue Captain Keeyes, easier said then done!!! "The Cartographer"- Your missio is to find the map room to find the secrets Halo holds!!! Halo is a super weapon if you wanted to know, that is some what of religious immportance to the Covenant!!! Then you move on to "Assault on the Control Room" - You must defend the control room after wave after wave of enemy troops!!! After the first 5 missions you deal with the flood and everything breaks out in utter chaos and it is up to you to save the universe from Halo!!! Yes that is only a brief summary, to learn more buy the game!!!

The single player campaign is darn fun, and will be hooked on it for hours or even days!!! I bassiclly explained a little bit about the campaign, above so I will just talk about the multi player action!!! It is some great stuff, but the Cooperative mode is the definite highlight when you can play the campaign with a friend, which was pretty awesome!!! The Split Screen was pretty cool too with up to 16 player if you link four xbox consoles with 4 controllers each!!! It is stuff that has been done before but with the cool environments and weapons you can't loose!!! I was slightly dissapointed since there was no Xbox Live or online play, but that was new at the time so I understand!!!

The environments in the campaign mode are awesome, along with some nice graphics, weapons, and some marines!!!

The graphics were the best of the of the time and are still some of the best, though uncomparable to Halo 2 or some of the newer games!!! 4/5

The Environments and level design were breathtakingly beautiful, too bad I had to ruin it with those dead aliens and their blue blood splashed all over the place!!! Each level was unique and never the same, I give them lots of credit!!! 5/5

The marine A.I (Artifical Intelligence) and enemy were the best and most innovative of the time and opened the world of gaming to the limits!!! They are intellgent and can sometimes help you out, once you get into Legendary mode they don't do much good , but in all the other modes they can help you!!! The enemy A.I.is pretty good too but, not that smart, for example when you throw a gernade on a grunt they go running into a group of aliens and basically gets them all blow up, which my job easier though!!! Also when you kill an elite, the grunts, start running yelleing remarks "We're All Gonna' Die" and "Runaway!!!" it was hilarious though!!! Still the game is great and the A.I. is some of the best!!!4.5/5!!!

The Weapon were pretty cool especially the alien weaponry!!! The pistol and shotgun were the major highlights of the human weaponry!!! The pistol was light and had lots of ammo with a zoom too a very effective weapon!!! The Shotgun comes later in the game with the flood parasite!!! It is great for close quarters combat!!! All the weapons were cool except the Assault Rifle , which was a chunky and uneffective!!! The weapons were pretty cool but, new games with better weapon were released!!! The Plasma Rifle and Needler were both awesome and very effective too!!! 4.5/5... for sleek design on alien and human weapons!!!

The vechiles were pretty hot too with the Ghost and Warhog; The Ghost is the Covenat light attack weapon and the Warhog is a light moblie jeep with a machine gun and passanger seat for tatical fire!!! The Banshee is a high flying attack fighter that is a very valuable asset to the Covenant with laser cannons and a fuel rod cannon!!!! The Humans though have the heavily armored Scorpion tank which has a a huge gun with a machine gun too!!! The Scorpion is so big that you can just run over anything in your path!!! The Covenant Motar tank is a weapon you don't get to use until Halo 2 but, it is still nothing compared to the Scorpion Tank!!! 4.5/5... compare this to Halo 2!!!!

This game one of the best games on the market and opened the world of gaming to a new level of gaming to the entire world!!!
This is gold, start from finish, so buy it!!!

The game is awesome 4.8/5!!!!!

Great, just not THAT great.

I don't get what all the hype is about... Seriously. I don't. Halo is a very good (make that great) game and I still play it a lot, but from what I've read and heard about it, I was expecting to be blown away! The tornado I was bracing for turned out to be a nice, gentle breeze. Throughout the entire game, I was hoping and hoping, but it never reached the state of being the "greatest FPS of all time," or the "best game for the Xbox ever" that I had been led to believe it would become. However, that's NOT saying Halo is a gigantic disappointment in any respect. I know people are going to start telling that when it was made, Halo was way ahead of it's time. Be that as it may, I hear people saying that it's still the greatest game ever made, when in reality, it isn't.

All the levels, except the moronic "The Library," are large and designed nicely, and aren't as linear as in a lot of other games. The graphics are excellent, even by today's standards. The weapons are realistic (except the pistol, which kicks the assault rifle's butt, somehow), and the enemies are original, intelligent and challenging. Co-op mode and multiplayer are both great. The vehicles are powerful, although needlessly difficult to drive (it would be much better if buttons were used for acceleration and braking, and the thumbstick was used for steering). The storyline is interesting, and the game is very well-designed overall. But, unfortunatley, I don't seem to be able to find that certain "spark" that captured so many other players' attention and made them fall in love with this game, no matter how hard I try. Many people seem to worship Halo, but I don't see what the big deal is! It might be my own fault or maybe I'm just confused, but I don't think Halo is as wonderful as it's made out to be. Seriously though, don't get me wrong! Halo is a great first-person shooter; just not the greatest.
