Halo

This game is awesome! Ever tried getting 8 friends linking your xbox's together with 2 tv's and battling it out? hours and HOURS of fun. You can change the multiplayer settings to have different guns, same guns, change the spawn times, play capture the flag... SO many options! Working together to drive a vehicle and having another shoot from the back of it is always fun and jokes. It's a great multiplayer first person shooter! If you don't feel like going head to head, grab a friend and beat the different campaigns available! Have no friends? STILL GOOD! You can shoot every alien or bug in the single player campaign! Too easy you say? Well play it on hard or legendary if you feel like challenging yourself. I perfer Halo 1 over Halo 2 due to the brightness, clarity and overall feel. A must buy if you own an xbox console!

Halo was an extremely good game, and i think it deserved the game of the year award. Halo's biggest asset are it enormous and incredably detailed levels. They feature inside and outdoor enviroments, that are incredibly realistic, with lifelike enviroments, and terrain. The enemies you fight are a bit short in variety, there's only for of them, but there's a lot of them and there AI is really guite good. They will hide behind objects, dodge your gernades, and strike using strategic procedure. You have your own little band of marines, they're actually quite stupid, and are sometimes more trouble than there worth. The things that they yell and say are very entertaining though. The selection of weapons is very nice and detailed, you can choose between an alien or human arsenal, which both have different uses. The human weapons include an assault rifle, pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle, and rocket launcher. Alien weapens are plasma weapons, and are actually more effective and accurate than most human weapons. There are no bosses in this game, which is a nice change, the levels transition in a very fluid motion, and you won't notice the loading. the vehicles were a blast, you can ride a tank or an alien hovercraft. One of the very few faults i can find with halo, was the last half of it or so seemed to much like resident evil. You'll see what i mean when you play the game. You begin to fight enemies that take a bit of the fun a way from the game. The rest i'll leave up to you as a suprise, but i would recomend halo as a good game to anyone

The game Halo in my opinion was and still is the best game ever created for a game system. It's filled with tons of killer fps (frist-person-shooter) action and is nicely complemented by and amazing story-line. You take control as a character only known as the master cheif, a genetically enhanced cyborg with a virtually indestructable suit of armor. (for more information on the master chief i would recomend reading Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric S. Nylund. It's a great book filled action and sci fi themes that could put any other sci fi writer to shame. Eric Nylund did a great job on this book and I would recommend buying it also. 5 stars as well!...) As the master chief you can choose between an arsenal of 7 human weapons including a rocket launcher,assault rifle, and shot gun, or 5 alien weapons including a plasma rifle and a gun that shoots explosive needles. Both races also sport grenades. Besides the weopons there are also a variety of vehicles you can use in the game such as a human all-terrain vehicle sporting a 50mm chain-gun or a human tank with a 90mm barral and a 7.62mm armor peircing machine gun. The aliens in this game known as the Covenant also have some intersting transportaion including a one person reconnaissance vehicle that sports 2 plasma connons and a ground assault aircraft that has 2 fuel rod cannons as well as 2 plasma cannons. Besides these vihicles there are many other that you will see but not be able to operate. (Find out about them in the book or in the game what ever u like.) As u play an incredible story unfolds that will be unforgetable, and it even has an unexpected plot twist at the end. But,even with all that I think the best part of the game is the multi-player mode which allows for cooperative play or just playing against friends. But its not just fragging, o no its much more than who can kill who more times, u can play in variety of modes such as king of the hill or capture the flag or a game where u have to have possecion of a ball for a certain amount of time. All are fun and even just that regular fragging style is fun too. In conclusion all i can say is buy this game and buy the book too because they will keep you entertained for a long long time(I've been playing since February) So in conclusion all I can say is you won't regret buying this game and I would suggest playing the game before reading the book, it's better and easier to understand that way.
P.S. if u like the feel and sheer size of computer games better than system games than dont feel sad. Halo is coming out for the pc also. So have fun gamers and buy this game!...
