    5 Stars Magnificent Halo! 18/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic story and a great playable character.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It should have been possible to use the plasma sword.

    Well what can I say. At a launch of a new console, the flagship games are always vitally important. If they don't sell, the console won't sell. Luckily for Microsoft, Halo:Combat Evolved has become one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time, selling over five million copies worldwide. A personal favourite for me, a game I'll never be able to forget, and a game I'll never stop playing...EVER. A true masterpiece, no one can deny Halo's dominance and how it has changed first-person shooters.

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Solid FPS, clean graphics, original utilisation of weapons system, unique veichles and solid characters in storyline

    Disadvantages Disadvantages level design could have used more development, some graphic framerate glitches

    There are some people who regard Halo has the best thing to happen to FPS. Since the release of Halo the FPS genre has been revolutionised, with Halo becoming one of the most successful FPS in existance. Bungie and Microsoft have produced a real gem with Halo, an truly replayable game time after time. Halo puts you in control of Spartan 117 - a genetically and biologically enhanced super soldier fighting for the survival of humanity on the ring-world of Halo. the story begins with you fleeing the world of Reach which had previously been destroyed by the powerful and merciless Covenant armadas ... more

    5 Stars Combat just evolved into gaming greatness 12/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Graphics,Sound,Multiplayer,Single Player,the game is just great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a few more vehicle multiplayer levels wouldnt have gone a miss

    While I am fully aware that the last thing the world needs is another Halo review, especially one that isn't anything dramatically different from the other ones out there in content, I feel like writing about what has become one of my favourite games in a relatively short amount of time when compared to the others that make up that list. In case you don't know, Halo is a First-Person-Shooter, or FPS, in the vein of games like Doom and Quake, this means that you see the game through the eyes of the character you are playing as, with only the weapon you have equipped visible. Where Halo stood ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great enemy A.I. | Graphics and sound

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some repetitive environments | Control issues

    It’s hard to know where to begin with a game like this. Many regard Halo as the best thing to happen to FPS (First Person Shooters) since Half-Life and some even say that it is the best FPS in history. When Bungie began to show the world the first glimpses of Halo people were interested, the story line was nothing new (battle mean space monsters in other world) but it looked different, the gameplay seemed interesting and it seemed Bungie were trying to advance the genre. It was predictably slated to appear on the PC but then along came Microsoft with their big black box and even bigger ... more
