In a word, save your money. This game is not worth the hoopla. Its a good rental but two people can beat the game in an afternoon...on easy of course. Like all the Xbox games, the graphics are great, but the game play is bad. I found myself going back to my N64 to play James Bond for my role playing fix because you can have more guns.

Ever wished that James Bond was wearing concrete boots in Goldeneye? Well, Bungie has made this fantasy a reality with Halo. Don't worry about falling out of your seat; Halo keeps the gameplay at a crawl...Not much fun, but a great way to ease into siesta.

Yes, it's 2005 and my wait is over. I had this game sitting on a shelf for almost a year, and finally I took the time to fully enjoy it.

Usually, the first games that come out with the launch of a new game console are there to show off it's capabilities, but they fade away into obscurity very quickly. Halo is one of the very few exceptions to the rule, and this is without a doubt, the game that built Xbox's reputation into what it is today, hands down.

In my opinion, the main factor in keeping me coming back to this game was pure playability. I didn't admire so much the landscapes, the weapons, the AI or even the great vehicles available for combat. What I really admired was the ease of playing (and I mean playing, not actually winning). The controls are comfortable, the movements are smooth, the feel is just perfect.

All games have room for improvement, for me Halo has its major flaw with the automatic checkpoint saves - The program automatically saves your progress at specific (I call arbitrary) spots during the game. I found myself going way back to a previous checkpoint after spending almost an hour of tough combat. This situation also brought another gripe, sometimes I felt that certain parts were supposed to be completed in a seemingly "specific" way, with no room for improvisation. A slight deviation in tactics and you ended up flying in the air and back to the last checkpoint. Also, if you did something wrong, such as wasting ammo or grenades, you had no way to backtrack into a more comfortable position. A couple of times I had to restart a level after finding myself in an exceedingly frustrating impossible checkpoint because of the lack of weapons and ammo.

Sound settings would've been a nice addition to the game. I often noticed that the music and sound effects volume didn't allow you to listen the game dialog clearly enough. Dialog is important to succedd in more than a few missions.

After several days I was able to complete all the Campaign missions in Normal mode. I recommend a new player to start with Easy. I believe Normal mode is still a bit difficult for the average player.

In the end, Halo for Xbox is a truly exciting action game, with many different combat options that will keep you hooked until the end. A must have.

Awesome

When I first got this game, I was shocked lol. I mean the first day it came out I got it, and I played it non-stop. This game was very addicting, and it is when you first play it. Since Halo 2 is out now, thats the main game, but this game was truly hecka fun when it first came out. The multi-player was especially fun playing with friends.

Halo's still the best

The basic idea is that Halo, this ringworld planet, is essentially human's last hope for survival. They have been battling with an alien Race known as the Covenant for who knows how long, and the war has been see-sawing back and forth. You are a Master Chief, a highly trained supersolider sent to retrieve a captain from a ship that crashed on Halo. You'll shoot your way through all kinds of aliens, and there are also humans there to help you out from time to time.

One of the Greatest FPS I ever played!!!

Halo is a fast-paced,fast-action First Person Shooter.
Not only is the story line great,but the graphics,audio effects
are terrific!

If you like playing team-player based games,Halo is for you.
You get to Drive 4 wheel terain vechs,Fly aircraft,and use a host of lethal weapons.

Better have DSL,on high speed Cable connect for on-line playing.
Works great with Video Cards with 64MB or greater.

Far better than Halo 2

Greatest shooter on x box and/or x 360. Halo is far supperior to Halo2 in every aspect (other than no live support, although xbconnect is available). Halo appeals to someone looking for great gameplay with above average graphics, and great sound. The strategy and fun provided by halo can not be replictaed by Halo 2 or any other shooter. Halo 2 feels like a game produced for mass appeal vs a game produced for great gameplay. Those who like Halo 2 above Halo 1 most likely either havent played Halo 1, or can not win at Halo 1. Halo2 is another example of commercialism as seen in every aspect of the entertainment industry.

Great Game!!!

This game starts you as master cheif a spartan (a robot super solder) who is the secret weapon for humanity against the covandent (sorry for spelling but they are an alien race). The last human ship, the pillar of autumn, gets into a battle with the covendent and crash lands on a strange circle machine called Halo. Cheif lands with them and starts fighting the covandent to figure out what this place is. They find out they are not alone with the aliens on halo another enemy called the flood live in halo. They multiple in extreme rates and could find a ship and leave halo to colonize and destroy more planets. The covenent seek to destroy them but it has a high price for destrution...

Graphics: 9/10 not great but pretty nice for its time.

Sound: 10/10 every bullet is heard wissing by you and the alien weapons make nice sounds. Believable voice acting.

Control: 9/10 takes a little time to get used to but is great after

Fun factor: 10/10 compling story with great FPS gameplay to go with it
