I woke up this morning, and I ate atleast 3 pancakes, and then I bought a new scrren door.
I went to the park at about 3 o clock, and then I ate a tomtato.
And the the question occured to me, where is the Halo?
let me examine my facts...
The crayon was green...
no wait... yellow...
I ate a tomtato today.
And there is this bird talking to me....
So where is the Halo? I just don;t understand.
maybe someday a Panda will take me to Canada on a Narwhal...
I wish I understood why there was Fire Comming Out of That one Monkey's head....
Where am I?
Ummm... no

This game is, simply put, not good. I got bored to tears playing it, then ended up giving it away because it was robbing useful space on my desk. It is slow-paced, predictable, and not suspenseful at all. In fact, these characteristics are probably why it's so mainstream, even though it's laughable in comparison to real first-person shooters, which by the way don't even belong on consoles. Owning at this game means you are an average player. Any true FPS gamer knows what childish, pathetic garbage this is, while the rest just go with the hype. Many have successfully deceived themselves into thinking it's worth anything at all. It isn't.
Don't buy HALO!

Everyone,
HALO is very violent. If you are parents do not buy this game for your kids. Everyone except my best friend, another boy or two, and the girls like HALO. I mean, it might be fun when you play it, but what if that happened to you? The younger the kid is, the more they'll get corrupted. They'll join the army and blow themselves up. Don't buy this game or and X-BOX. Thonly good games are Oddworld and Fuzion Frenzy. Get a Gamecube instead. It has better games like Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin for kids and Star Wars and SUper Smash Bros. Melee for older kids. So don't buy HALO or an X-BOX.
Can I give it O stars? This game suckssss!!!!

here we go here we go...the ghetto jam is about to begin...THIS GAME SUCKS AND BLOWS all at the same time. When i first started playing the darn thing i thought to myself, hey this is kinda fun. Let me get to the point. This game should have ended after the swamp level and before the library...at the library level that stupid construct kept laughing and and going and going and going and going and going and going...kinda annoying hey. I kept thinking to myself the game was dragging on way too long. Its like watching a movie where the interesting part was at the beginning, and you keep waiting for the end and two hours later...the end. Watch the movie sideways, you'll know what i mean. The only purpose for dragging it on was? so you could shoot more evil dead people? what a joke. I borrowed this game from a friend...tommorow i'm sending him a pile a dog crap in the mail for fair trade. on second though i'm keeping my dog crap and mailing hime back the game.
Lets talk about the enemies...SUCK! the AI is stupid, so to make up for stupidity they just throw about 1 million evil dead monsters at you.
How about the weapons...SUCK! no variety, slow, and and ability to hold only two? what numskull thought this was a good idea. Here's a game concept...lets make a game where your weapons are interesting your variety is huge and the weapons themselves are fun to shoot. I ended up using the first weapon i had throughout the game because all the other ones sucked. I tried to care about getting to the end in this game but i felt like the japanese lady on dude where's my car...and then? AND THEN?....and THEN... a n d T H E N. how about just end it already. I wanted to take one of those cheap rocket launchers from the game and shoot myself but then i thought...no, i'll just use the alien gun.
My advice to microsoft...stop mixing prozac with viagra...and then do the world a favor and don't ever make video games again. No, i'm serious, don't ever make video games again. You people suck...stick to microsoft flight simulator...which no one plays anyway. well this is the end of my review...but first...let me talk about something else for an hour...no really this is the end...wait, oh no something has gone horribly wrong...now we have to run 2 kilometers to meet with the drop ship...oh no the drop ship has been chased by aliens...have to run 3 miles back the way you came...only there are aliens in the way...oh now the ship's not going to make it...now we have to get in a lame vehicle and drive into as many obstacles as we can. but wait we only have 30 seconds left. but the drop ship has blown up. oh no! now what do we do...lets do it all over again because its FUN? wait, i remember going outside was pretty fun and fresh air...i can't beleive i wasted my time on this game...i think i'll go outside now...but wait oh no the door blocked by fire! i'll have to go through the garage...but wait..oh no! the garage is 2 kilometers long and i only have 2 seconds...oh no! my alien mom is chasing me...
Save your 50 bucks

Don't believe the hype. Halo is boring after the first 5 minutes, graphics are good but this has no gampelay. The enemies are incredibly stupid and it is not challenging. It is only good online, which costs 50 dollars and is not worth it when PS2 online is FREE! The only time it gets exciting is on legendary mode, which you die in like 2 shots. The weapons look like s***and the shotgun, which holds 12 unrealistic shells takes exactly 5 seconds to reload and can kill someone from 50 yards away.
If you want to spend $50 on an FPS buy KILLZONE. Especially if you want a realistic war game. Halo also has no storyline that drives you. The vehicles are very overated. If you get a tank in multiplayer and keep your enemies away you untouchable. Unless you want a game where the AI is so stupid, guns suck @$$, no storyline,incredibly easy game, don't buy this waste of a CD and disgrace to world of gaming, save your 50 dollars to San Andreas, KILLZONE, or Soul Calibur 2.

Excuse the title, It is the total opposite of "r0><0rZ" This game had the privledge of wasting away at millions of peoples lives. If that wasn't bad enough, the game is no better than a simple game, like James Bond, it eats away at your head, until you have to buy the t-shirts, breakfast cereals, the "licensed" master chief helmet, then you try a game like Resident Evil 4, or the pure gold that is "life" you realize, hey, that's what light looks like!, and more importantly, hey... halo kinda sucks.
Oh Please

When i played this with my cousin it was so annoying. I know thats a lousy explination but it was annoying. When XBOX's president compared HALO to Metroid Prime for gamecube that was an insult. Metroid Prime is sooooooooo much better and has been in history longer than HALO. I doubt HALO can make a return like Metroid has. Alls i have to say is dont get this. If you do like it than Metroid prime will blow you away!

(...)First person shooters are meant to be played on the computer, because of two things. A keyboard, and a mouse. Its near impossible to enjoy a first person shooter on a console system using a game pad...I won't get into this argument though...nuff said.
On to the game...I hope it does extremely well, and based on some trailers I've seen, shows a lot of promise. Lets hope the transition to the PC is smooth as well...
