Pros: graphics, gameplay, story, Master Chief is so cool
Cons: lame indoor environments, a couple of bad frame rate drops
Summary: Out of all the system releases, out of all the different games available at launch, there has only been one system that has REALLY peaked my interest, and that system would probably be the Dreamcast with Soul Calibur, followed by the Gamecube with ... read more

Pros: Refined gameplay
Cons: The grunts are still silly
Summary: Halo revolutionized the FPS genre in many ways which has led to a lot of people saying "Halo sucks". The truth about Halo is that the gameplay is so refined that it leads to far more strategic gameplay compared to most of the fast twitch FPS games that ... read more

Pros: a great FPS
Cons: But not the best FPS I have ever played.
Summary: I downloaded Halo on to my xbox 360 shortly after I got the console. I didn’t want to spend 60 bucks for Halo 3 and I wanted to know all the hype about the series. I have heard things like even better launch games then Mario 64 from xbox fan bots, ... read more

Pros: variety of weapons, variety of enemies, great story-line.
Cons: controls take some getting used to.
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED FOR X-BOX! The graphics and music are in perfect condition for this game. In addition, one thing I found to be nice about the game is the weapons. There are two different “types” of weapons. One type ... read more

Pros: Great Multiplayer, Great graphics and sound.
Cons: Single player is very boring, and repetitive.
Summary: It seems to me that everybody loves Halo, there are tons of halo fan boys and I just don’t see why everybody loves this game because it is really boring and repetitive. It just is really boring in the one player mode to do pretty much the same thing ... read more

Pros: Weapons, vehicles, enemies, storyline, multiplayer, and graphics.
Cons: Too short, not enough vehicles.
Summary: When I first got my Xbox in January 2002, my first game for it was Halo: Combat Evolved. When I first put that thing in this new and powerful console I wasn't real familiar with, I was amazed by everything in it, especially the fact it's the first game ... read more

Pros: Exciting gun play action. Superior graphics and sounds.
Cons: The controls are awkward at first. Some boring single player moments.
Summary: HALO (Microsoft/Bungie, November 15, 2001) It was only a matter of time but here is my review of the legendary Halo! Sure, as I'm writing this, Halo is still a fairly new title on a pretty new game system (Xbox of course) but in such a short ... read more

Pros: Extensive Levels, Multiplayer Mode is Awesome, Excellent Storyline
Cons: You can only Carry 2 Weapons, Cheap Ending after hours of work

Pros: Good, clean death and mayhem.
Cons: Eventually, you have to get some sleep.
Summary: Perfect. Just perfect. Until Halo2 comes out later this year, that is. Everyone has properly raved about the interactive campaign mode. The detail of the story is amazing. Everything becomes a weapon of mass destruction in the hands of the ... read more

Pros: Great Gameplay, awesome graphics and sound, wonderful storyline.
Cons: Some levels are repetitive, people with mono or even stereo speakers may get poor sound.
Summary: I first heard of HALO from a fellow firefighter who was a member of the Air Force. When he did his tour in both Iraq and Afghanistan, he told me all him and his buddies did was play HALO. I, at the time, did not own an XBOX. I made the decsison to buy an ... read more
