This is The One...

...Xbox game I'd want to have on a desert island, assuming, of course, I had electricity and my HDTV home theater there too. Halo really raises the bar for other game developers to shoot for in this genre.

The weapons, vehicles and AI are amazing! The Scorpion is majorly fun, but my only complaint is the Warthog. For an all-terrain military vehicle, its complete lack of traction doesn't make much sense. Until, that is, you try to run the gauntlet at the end -- when you'll really hate it!

I finished Halo in about six late nights, and then went back for more. My son and I recently discovered the Cooperative Play mode, which is a total blast. I can't wait to try Internet Play with multiple human opponents.

Bungie's Halo franchise simply rocks on.

Great Game

Halo is the greatest game I have ever played. The first day I got it I did not sleep until dawn. Cooperative mode is the greatest thing ever! Once I beat the game on easy, I needed to beat it on hard and hell modes! I probably have 100 hours on that game and it still is not old!

Combat evolved you decide...

Halo - Circa 2002

GOOD:
- Balanced Gameplay
- Make or edited your own multiple player matches
- Considered Classic to many Video Gamers today
- A.I. is challenging but not overpowering

BAD:
- Some story mode levels feel a little empty
- Sometimes gameplay feels a little repetitive
- Lack of real variety in enemies
- Liner level design
- Story seems a little lacking (you have to fill in a lot of your own impetration)
- Small amount of multiple player maps

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- Sci-Fi military FPS where you fight off an alien race who wants you dead, similar to Starship Troopers, Aliens (Alien 2).
- Only get to carry 2 weapons at a time
- Drive vehicles, such as tanks jeeps and alien spacecraft
- No online play so system link seems the way to go
- Co-op play (only on system link or spilt screen) available

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Halo 2
- Doom 3
- Perfect Dark

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- There is a funny online show called Red Vs Blue which loosely based on Halo
- This is the second console tile for Bungie who released (in association with Rockstar who is know for Grand Theft Auto) Oni on PS2; P.S. Oni was not that good
- This game is also for P.C. (and it has more maps, online play and new weapons)

A true system seller

HALO is an outstanding game. The first thing about the game that will strike you is its overall intelligence. The levels, your weapons, your friends, and your foes are all smartly designed. The graphics are superb (but limited by the quality of your television) and the sound and music are both very good as well. There is a story and it is pretty fun and a little surprising even at points.

The game is not perfect. It has a tendancy to hold your hand a little too often and walk you through segments of missions where it might have been fun to figure out what to do on your own. The story is also fairly linear and you can't really get off the track they have set out for you. Finally, the game is screaming out for the ability to give orders to the marines that work with you, either individualy or to a squad.

However, the above detractions are minor and do little to subtract from an incredible game. The single player mode of the game has a surprisingly large amount of replay value thanks to random elements and the several different strategies you can employ to attack any given combination of enemies (i.e. you can go the sniper route, the berserker route, or try different sets of weapons and so on). But it is the multiplayer modes of HALO that give the game an effectively infinite life. The cooperative mode is a blast and the deathmatches can and will drain hours and hours of your time as you run through all the different modes and options available.

The bottom line is this: if you own an Xbox, you need to own this game. If you don't have an Xbox, HALO is, by itself, enough to justify the purchase.

Still the best X-Box game

Amazing graphics, good controls, solid game.

Halo remains one of the best games out there not only for the X-Box, but for all the console systems.

Wicked awesome

THIS IS THE BEST GAME FOR XBOX YOU CAN FIND!
this game is so cool that it justifies buying an xbox just for this. this is what turned me on to video games.
A while back I wasn't really into video games, but one year my cousin brought his xbox with him when he visited and we played a few games and i started to think about buying a xbox. well at some time he popped halo in and we started to play. it was so cool. you play as the master chief, a space marine. you start on a ship in space which is being attacked by the covenet so you fight your way through the levels saving marines and such. well the thing you landed on to escape the ship you were on is some sort of weapon and you try to find out how to unlock the weapon but along the way you discover the flood which eat humans, covenet, and you. you have to destroy the flood which means blowing up halo.
also there is the multiplayer game which alows you to fight your friends in unique surroundings. i suggest playing at hand em' high, one of my favorite places.
however, as great as this game it is rated mature. use your judgment and common sense, i would say that this game really isn't meant for people under 15 or so. there is swearing and blood and gore. so be sensible people.
that aside this is a great game i think you will be pleased and if like this i suggest buying halo 2, i don't own it but have played it. you won't be displeased.
