Summary

Best game ever played on the Xbox. It's gripping. It took me 48 hours of playing to finish the game. The story line is great and the graphics are the best. AI on the game is very good.

Sound

Queef?

Gameplay

Eat it more!

Summary

This has to be the best game ever !! I received this game for x-mas with my new x-box. After I started playing it I could not stop. Does not compare to any other games I have played, a MUST have. The action is non stop, keeps you on your toes. I haven't played it in multiplayer mode yet but look forward to it.

Sound

Sound could use a little improvement, but I was so into the game it didn't really matter.

Gameplay

I could not wait to get to the next level and the next level and the next level...excitement grew as I continued. I hated to see the end come.

Summary

I think that although Halo won game of the year and everything, there were many flaws in it.

Sound

I thought the sound in Halo was great except one thing...ALL THE MARINES SOUND THE SAME!!! Hearing the same phrases over and over begins to drive you INSANE!!! Sometimes they just wouldn't be quiet so I'd just umm how do I put this...took care of business by myself...yeah. Well Again I thought the vehicle SFX and weapon SFX were great but those marines really got on my nerves.

Gameplay

Halo started off pretty fast and all but later in the game I felt like I was playing the same levels over and over again. The story was great and all but I felt like I was playing just to get to the next level alot of the time. But what I thought was great was the multiplayer. My friens linked together two X-boxes and we played four on four and let me tell you, it's awesome. We played multiplayer for hours on end. So even the campaign mode seemed to drag on and on I still loved the multiplayer so I'm gonna give it a four.

Summary

Wow...i never thought a game could be so bloody, yet violent at the same time. My dad bought this for me 3 years ago for Christmas, i was like "this game looks like it sucks". But i just gave the game a chance, uploaded it into my xbox and i got sucked away... I spent 2 weeks playing this. Though, it was toooooo dang easy. You start off in a 'cryo chamber'. You get the controls, figure it out, do some tests with the humans and then BAM!!!!!!!!!!. Som1 juss died, then you go on from there I reccomend it, very fun Two thumbs up...way up

Sound

7/10 The *(spoiler kind of)Silent Cartographer, 4th level, has the only good music, when your getting out of that big building...thats the only good music....the rest is cruddy

Gameplay

10/10 violent, yet fun...cant forget the amount of gore

Summary

Unmatched in the FPS genre. Hands down, the best shooter since video games have been in existence. One of the top 10 greatest games of all time.

Sound

Good. Quality music. Explosions are great, voice acting is excellent.

Gameplay

Very smooth. Everything flows at a nice pace, and its so friggin addicting.

Summary

this is the greatest xbox game ever created and quite possibly,best ever on any console.i dont know what game the guy below me is playing but it's not halo,it's impossible to finish the game in 1.5 hours,even if you had it on easy. the ai is great,graphics are brilliant,sounds is amazing,gameplay is terrific,you never get bored each level is a thrill from beginning to end,all you have to do is check out every major games review site www.ign.com www.gamespot.com just to name 2 and u will see why this game is so good. there saying halo 2 is going to be twice as good and if it is it's going to be quite an accomplishment. if you have an xbox and dont have halo there's something wrong.

Sound

A+

Gameplay

A+

Summary

the game is awesome.From the moment it started to the moment it ended, I was blown away by how good the game is.everything about it is flawless. the graphics,the enemy AI,and the smooth nonstop action. you are master cheif, a spartan(some kind of super robot). your mission,basicly...kill everthing non human. More specific, the covanent. An alien race bent on destroying mankind. The game is fairly short, spanning only 10 levels. However, some of the levels can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete. The game really shines during co opp. Most co opp games lose some graphic and gameplay quality, but halo seems to maintian all its greatness even during multiplayer.It would have been nice to see some kind of online mode, or at least bots in multiplayer. Thats right,unless you have two xboxs to play system link,your CTF, and deathmatch's can only hold up to 4 players. but set that aside, its all about the single player experience.When the game first came out it was awesome, now almost 3 years old and 30 dollars cheaper the game still rocks.Best game ever...that is until halo2 comes out later this year

Sound

very good.All the gun shots are very realistic,great vice acting. And the sound of the plasma weapons is awesome

Gameplay

flawless. nonstop action. unlike every other fps you can only carry 2 weapons and 2 types of grenades,both human and covanent.Human weapons consist of a pistol,assualt rifle,shotgun,sniper rifle, and frag grenades. Covanent weapons are plasma pistol, plasma rifle, needler(shoots exploding needels), and plasma grenades(stick to target and then explode.the grenades are actualy a secondary weapon.the grenades have their own botton.just pull the left trigger and off goes the grenade.you never have to worry about running out of ammo. if you do, just come up behind an enemy and hit him in the head, then take his weapon. There are also trucks with gun turrets on the back. for instance: in co opp one player can drive while the other mans the gun. A tank,one person can drive and shoot while the other sits on the side and shoots their own weapon. A ghost, a covanent vehicle that ripidy shoots plasma,and a banshee,kind of a flying ghost with a plasme rocket launcher. Very simple controls.

Summary

Halo is a futuristic first-person shooter which was hyped up to be the best game ever. The game takes place thousands of years in the future on a ring-shaped planet known as "Halo." You are put into the MJOLNIR Armor Suit of the Master Chief, a genetically enhanced supersoldier who has been sent to obliterate an enemy so powerful, you couldn't imagine it in your worst nightmare--The Covenant. During your adventure, you discover many hidden passage ways, and shortcuts, and secret tunnels to make your mission less difficult. In almost all of the levels in Halo, you fight off the oppressors with teams of Marine soldiers, not as powerful or highly trained as you, so instead of them protecting you, you will most likely find yourself protecting them.

Sound

The sound is next to horrible. Your assault rifle sounds like crap, and every other sound effect in this entire game is complete turd.

Gameplay

The gameplay is excellent when you play the game for the first time. When you are playing through the levels, you feel as if you never want to take your hands off of that XBox controller. HOWEVER, once you have beaten the game, the replay value drops on you like a lead weight. Once the game has been beaten, no matter what difficulty you have it set to the second time around, it is the same boring crap you got when you played it the first time. The only difference with the difficulties is that the higher the difficulty, the harder the game is (obviously), but your enemies do the same combat maneuvers, and the levels are exactly the same, just harder. And even so, it is extremely easy to beat Halo on the hardest difficulty, Legendary. I give the gameplay a 3 out of 5.

Summary

Solid title for an inexperienced gamer. Anyone who knows anything about videogames will agree that Halo is an overated, repetitive Block Buster. I don't want to down play this game, but some serious changes need to be made if Bungie hopes to have Halo 2 be just as successful. Frankly I think that Bungie is very lucky that this game is as big as it is!! They got rich off of a title that many think is very "poor." Halo 2 better not have any repeats during the missions. Rushed development of Halo might have been the reason for all the cutting and pasting I saw, especially during the "Flood" missions. This is where I was really disappointed. The Game is a good three on my Scale.

Sound

The music was done very well. I liked the agressivness of the drums. It made you feel like you were in combat, If not for good music and decent voice overs, multi-player would be the only saving grace.

Gameplay

Same as any other FPS. I did like throwing alot of Gernades though. This gave it a necessary combat effect along with a limited a weapon capacity. Being able to carr 10 different guns is fun buttotally not realistic.

Summary

This game rocks! The graphics are incredible and the multiplayer / split screen options are also very good. It reminds me of playing war and shoot 'em games as a kid. I'm not a big gamer but really enjoy this game and it's complexity.

Summary

Ok this was my very first X-box game when i got it back in 2001.Let me start off by saying that this game sets the standards of gaming.This game ,in my opinion, is the best game ever made to this date!!(until Halo 2) It has a awsome story line (i passed the whole game on every difficulty) and a great co-op and a great multiplayer.I will say they could of had bots or X-box live but system link is the best.

Sound

Sound is great with good action music and menu music.

Gameplay

The Best gameplay of any game. Sweet controls and great game modes ,multiplayer and co-op done very well.

Summary

This game is a must-have for ALL XBox gamers. The action still great and it does everything right for a first person shooter. Though, there are minor glitches in the graphics,They are easy to overlook with good controller configuration and fast, mindblowing action. The story line is one of the best and most unique. The game plot is one of the reasons why I think Halo is still a good game. The music in the game goes perfectly with the struggle for survival that gamers must face. Halo was the very first game I've ever played one the XBox. I mean, you have to give this game credit if you've been playing it for two years and still getting your butt kick on the highest difficulty in the game, because of the intensity. I've seen other games that tried, but cannot mean the 'Halo' Standard.

Sound

The sound is one of the best that I've ever heard. The voice acting is really good. The environments sound real, the people in the game bring it to life, and each time I play, the music intensity to Halo.

Gameplay

The controls are fairly easy to learn, in all aspects of the game and there are only a few weapons to carry at a time, its the best if the average gamer does not wants to worry about carrying ten different kinds at once and figuring which one to use in the heat of battle. The story line is very good in quality compared to the other games I've played. Multiplayer Halo has a huge variety of game types to choose from. The levels of difficulty in the game are real, not like some games where the difficulty is the same no matter how many times you change it. The AI is very intelligent and when you don't play the game 'right', the game actually punishes you for it.
