Don't believe everything you hear...... |
| Justin from Michigan, USA says (21/Dec/2002): |
Anyone who likes FPS games will definetly never play another game again. There is no end the excitement Halo dishes out, even after youve beaten and played it for over a year(like me). The story is kinda short but it makes up for it in all the twists that were added. As for tha MP, don't believe all those retards who keep sayin stuff like, "Duhrrr, Halo was bad cuz there ain't no banshee in MP, hmmmduhrrrr."
Even though that maybe, Halo is the best MP I have ever played since Perfect Dark. The gameplay is excellent. There just isn't any other word for it. The reality of it all. Not like one of those games where you can carry a million guns at once, with no penalty(slower walk, slower reload,ect.). Just simply 2 guns. Even with two guns, people(like myself)can beat levels on the Legendary difficluty. The graphics are phenominal, even during gameplay. Seams and pixel-visibleness were nonexsistent. The cinemas are sometimes long and cannot be escaped, not that this affects the excellence of the game anyway. The sound and music are classic. They go perfectly with the enviorment and situation(suchas the appearance of Flood out of nowhere and battle with the Covenant). The convienence of the carefully placed dead marines, as your ammo and health deplete, must be psychic in everyway. It's like the game knows when I need certain necessities. In (almost) every way, Halo captures you in an amazing spiral of gameplay, graphics, story, music, and reality.

OH MY GOD, THE BEST GAME EVER HAS HIT US!!!! |
| Alex King from Surrey, England says (1/Mar/2003): |
When I got my xbox I played this game first and I could not believe the realism of the fighting with the cries of pain and chatter of assault rifles. This game has to be the best reason to get speakers because you are completely drawn into the game.The controls are simple and the gameplay is slick.With every mission atleast 20 minutes and 10 challenging levels this'll last me an age. The multiplayer is great especially the wicked co-op. This is very origanal with an amazing story line.I think everyone should get this game, but be warned you'll play it so much your health will die out.

Halo's detailed review includes human and covanant weaponary |
| Annominous age 11 from Loughborough / England says (28/Dec/2002): |
Hello??? There is ONLY ONE game better than Halo.Halo 2(well duh).I think this game rocks, but as many of you know, its frustrating having only 2 weapons, because most 1st person shooters you can carry about 10 different weapons including dual pistols ect.However, this game is obviously realistic. Have you ever seen a person in real life hold twelve huge weapons each weighing a ton? Didn't think so. The makers obviously picked up on this, to add to the realism. I'm not surprised to see bungee helping out either. They had a similar weapon system with Oni. I'm suprised EIDOS didn't want to help out, because they've made some good games in the past, and a range of different genres, from football games, to role playiong games (e.g. Final Fantasy VIII(8).
Best weapon combonations:
The bestweapon combinations depend on your skill. Personally, I prefer the needler as a secondary weapon, and a assault riffle as a primary. The reason why i like the needler is because it takes rounds, like the human weapons, and doesn't rely on a battery. it also has a kind of homing device in it.

#@#; the ps2 |
| eat my guts from new york says (30/Jun/2002): |
i had a ps2 and then i said that x box sucks to my friends but when x box have been released everyone byed it. so i went to my friend and played halo it as thye best game ever its even better than counterstrike (ive heard that its gonna come something like counterstrike on halo) then i tryed to sell my ps2 but no one wanted to by it becuase it sucks everyone has xbox so i dumped my ps2 and got halo ive cleared the game 10 times now and it isnt boring becuase the weapons are cooool and the grafichs are fantastic and the best of all i the vehicles i love them, the story is incredible and so many glitches makes it fun. so this is the best game ever but halo 2 is maybe better (i swear halo 2 release date is next winter) so halo is a must for xbox owners

This game is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Reggie from woodbourne new york says (20/Dec/2001): |
I only have a couple of words to say. This game is cool
|
This game sucks... |
| A gamer says (24/Feb/2002): |
There are tons of glitches and errors and bad features that make this game one of the worst first-person shooting games ever. You can't even drive the Banshee in multiplayer. I prefer Perfect Dark and Goldeneye over this stupid game for Xbox.

Hello |
| Edward J. Trenton from Monkey Island says (17/Jul/2002): |
Halo is a terrible game (No offence to long term fans) PS2 has much better games to offer that will excell to Halo's glory. For Example new Grand Theft Auto titles and the "GETAWAY" are mush more fan loved titles tahn the old style first peron shooter such as Halo. I bought and played the game for a week thinking I was stumbling on a major gold mine, but my impatient ears were decieved. And I roecomend that other X-Box players should evoid this game.

HALO IS NOT THAT GREAT!!! |
| xbox hater from dallas, texas says (7/Jun/2003): |
my friend and i decided to rent halo so we would have something to do over the weekend, the game got so horribly boring that we stopped playing it all 2gether, they should have definately improved the freaken aliens looks, they do look like toys made of plastic."HAlO IS AWESOME" "HALO IS THE BEST".blah blah blah blah, if u want to play an addicting game, u should play tribes:aerial assault, now thats a good game

one word horrible |
| A gamer from mannford, ok says (16/Feb/2004): |
This game takes you on a trip of expansive settings of non-caring it is trifally boring and has no imaginary belonging to the gaming world. Make believe is the point of gaming and imagining that you can only pick up two weapons at a time is in one word stupid. Carrying on with the fact that your another person deep in the instilling facism of the army of tommorrow you go on to save the world (boring) what about saving your own or back tracking your own damnation by that same facist army or you know something new. I'm sorry it did not keep me satisfied. Interesting enough I wouldn't wish this game on my worst enemy, well my absolute worst enemy maybe, but you come on invest your money on something more interesting than this garbage pile. Although its fight scenes are interesting, except for the fact that you wish you had just that one gun you had earlier, but no you had to drop it because of the stupid limit that this first of the so-called great games that the lame (i just want to repeat that)lame console system known as the x-box has released to the public. Stick to the computers Gates.

Halo? No... i'll take something else... |
| Brad Felizardo from Luanda, Angola says (8/Apr/2004): |
You may start to love/enjoy Halo if you don't got another FPS game (or just another game!), and insist on playing it, that's it! But the game isn't that great, unless you are a FPS games maniac.
_Graphics_
A bit cool, but not great. Let's say you'll find good resulutions and textures, but you won't see what's supposed to be on a game like this: "Amazing graphics!". Many people say things like: "This is the best game ever!". Bull! There are so many games out there, if you think this is the best game you need to really get used to video games and try new things. The aliens (aliens?) on this game are the worst ever, i feel like i'm killing toys when i'm dealing with them, so, that's what i really consider on the game, if the enemy isn't cool there's no pleasure to kill them, there's no pleasure to play the game either.
_Gameplay_
The AI is somewhat stupid sometimes, but the cooperation on the game is great, many guys start liking Halo because of that, and later they say that's the best they've seen. So, resolution? You need to go and know/see more FPS games out there, cooperation isn't a new thing for gamers like me, so, i won't be amazed for that. Listen, you can only carry 2 guns at the same time! Somehow, because of this, this game is not only bad, but sounds like a demo, real FPS game lovers or maybe just real gamers may have much fun playing Perfect Dark (Nintendo64!!).
_Sounds_
The only thing really good. Sounds for the right momment, etc. But think, not even for sound those poor creatures they call aliens are great. Some of them sound like babies, others like a 1072844 old elephant, what's that?
Well, want an advice? You like this game don't you? Ok, this is just the beginning, you need to know and experience more games, later on, after following my advice you'll be looking to Halo like a piece of ****. If you like FPS games, please, they are many, from N64 to PS1/2 and PC, try to get another thing like Quake, Perfect Dark, Unreal, etc, and sell this poor stuff. Or if you only have your Thompson Xbox, then get some bucks and go buy Breakdown. PS: Don't attempt to get Halo2!!!

| Caro from Dallas, TX says (3/Jan/2003): |
This game called Halo was given such rave that I ran out to by it. What a worthless game? It was bad in ever way possible. The graphics were very lame and all the aliens looked like robots from the toy department in Wal-Mart. The weapons were rip offs from every sci fi game out there as was the extremely pathetic plot. They should have made the plot a off the wall joke like in Hunter instead this dramatic piece of fluff. The sounds must have come from the porgrammars garage because they showed no promise from the start. Single player gets boring within the first two levels and multiplayer brings nothing interesting new to the table. I am planning to pawn this worthless game so is any one wants to waste money just check the local pawnshops. I am a warning to all the people attempting to find out wether this game is acutally worth buying.
Overall this game is worthless and lame that has no real appeal so please stay away from it and get Splinter Cell or Ghost Recon

This game is as bad as the sweat under Louis Andreson Breasts |
| Mark Junop from Pembroke, Ontario, Canada says (27/Feb/2003): |
This has been one of the worst game I have ever played. All you do is kill, and there is no challenge what so ever. It is as boring as watch paint dry in a bath tub full of water. And believe me, its not fun. Multiplayer is so vast and unentertaining. The Librain? What kind of villian is that? Some stupid blue ball flying around going crazy because the game never ends? The only good thing that gives this game a one-star is pulling stunts in vechiles. This game is redundant as
knock-knock jokes. Knock-knock, whose there, THIS GAME SUCKS, this game sucks who, THIS GAME SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF ME BECAUSE IT IS SO BORING!!! I'm going to play Pikmin on my gamecube now.

Over Rated |
| Shirio Kumo from Woodland Hills, California, United States says (23/Jul/2004): |
Not to offend anyone but this game is overated for no reason. It is only a First Person Shooter, and just because Microsoft made Halo does not mean it is the best game ever. And also it was the #1 of the game of year when it came out, and now there are other games so get those...Also Xbox does not have many original games, most of the are sports games so of course they have to have a 4 slots. And PS2 and GCN controllers or even the older ones like Dreamcast were small because there isn't a reason to have so many buttons. GCN has two stick and a pad with five buttons, in games like Tales of Symphonia or Metroid prime or even in Legend of Zelda you can do alot with only those buttons. And the PS2 controllers have 2 analog sticks plus a pad with 6 buttons. So do not judge a controller by its size and buttons. Less buttons = less complications for me at least. I played Halo on the comptuer first, and I was addicted to it for about 2 days... then that's it. I just got sick of it because of the monsters they do look like toys. PS2 has many RPG games such as the Final Fantasy Series and other RPG types, and it does have sports game, but mainly it is a one player system. Gamecube has always been a type of mulitplayer system, no matter what game it always has a mulitplayer. Such as Tales of Symphonia, an RPG, can be played by yourself or with 4 other people. so do not say this is the BEST GAME EVER.
