This is the best game on any console!!! |
| Soldier of Hell from Vice City, Florida says (24/Aug/2003): |
This is the, uncontested, best game on any console which HAS ever been made (Halo 2 will be better). You can keep all your "Vice City" for your PS2 and your "Zelda" for your Gamecube, but they are pale compared to Halo. Halo shot Vice City and Zelda down. Halo is the best on earth. Halo is the reason I have an Xbox. : ) Here are some catagories of the game...
Gameplay 10/10:
The gameplay is the best you can get from a shooter or most games. It is so fluid, you know, it isn't soiled by hard enemies or alternative game modes which spoil it. Driving is cool. Flying is the best experiance you'll get from a shooter. On foot the action is non-stop team-tied-solo fight fest. Gameplay makes the game great.
Graphics 10/10:
Great, clear, kick < remove me > at $$ graphics. You can see the individual blades of grass when you look down. When you shoot water it parts in the blow. And explosives act like depth-charges in water. As for the water, it is just so real!!! You can't get much better from a game before 2003. It's great. The fire is great and goes out after time, rather than staying lit despite snow and wind like in other games. The people are realistic and so is their movement. Overall, the graphics are great and to get better you'll have to wait for Halo 2 and Half-Life 2. Count the days and play Halo in the meanwhile.
Sound Quality 10/10:
The sounds are great. The voice actors are great at bringing out emotions and the sound quality of Halo does justice. Explosions are great. You really know it's an explosion and not just a baloon pop recorded. It's great. Gun noises also. All you need is surround sound. If not, It's still great.
Difficulty 10/10:
The difficulty is not set. You have four different difficulty settings so your never over-challenged or bored. It's great. Even the rock-hard flood don't spoil the experiance.
Overall: 10/10
The best game yet on any console.

The Master Chief is God!! |
| Matt from Calgary,Alberta, Canada says (14/Sep/2003): |
Halo is Dope as all h< remove me > at #%!! It is outright the best FPS ever! However Halo 2 hasn't actually hit the streets yet, which may actually be better than the first one if that is at all humanly possible. But if there is anyone out there who knows the few little problems Halo did have, it's bungie. Therefore, they've had all the time in the world to work out those little glitches in the first one, and add all the wonderful things to the second one that they didn't have time to cram into Halo before it's original release date with the XBOX. Case in Point; Newer,better weapons,the brutes,some tasty new vehicles,and best of all better marine and Covenant AI. I know this is simply a Halo review, but I am just as excited about the second installation as I was about the first one. I know I've preordered my copy, Have You?? I've played and beaten Halo on all three difficulties and loved every minute of it!! The game is purely a perfect model of what a FPS should be. I've said my piece about the game, Everyone whose enjoyed it are not alone. If you haven't played it, don't let me convince you; You can judge it just nicely on your own.

The greatest game there is. |
| Andre Berry from Moreno Valley California USA says (19/Sep/2003): |
When you think about another FPS game you think they're all the same, but when you play Halo it's a whole different story. For the people who say it's boring, I'd like to see you get every badge on the game (add legendary to your list last and the last two levels will be unrealistically hard But I have them all anyway). There is no way this game can be boring until maybe Halo 2 comes out.
|
best game ever! |
| Darren Daignault from Cranbrook bc canada says (7/Oct/2003): |
Halo is the most unreal game ever as it stands! still waiting on halo 2 which should be even better, cuz there taking there sweet time making it. But this is the kind of game a person can get right into and wont drop the control for hours. what makes this game complete is a system link.....when you get 8-12 guys all playing longest, its a blood bath and i love it! keep up the good work x-box

Thank God for Halo!!!!!! |
| A gamer from USA says (3/Nov/2003): |
I and many of my friends believe that Halo is the best thing to happen.I mean look at the graphics,storyline,sound etc. It's just a very fun game! The graphics are awsome,the weapons are off the hook,and the story is just plain interesting. How the heck can someone say something negative about it? As I read some of the reviews,they said that it dragges out to much and that it gets you to hyped up. But to me that's the whole fun of the game. If it all ended in one game and didn't want you to wonder what's going to happen next it wouldn't be fun! Whoever doesn't really appreciate Halo isn't a true gamer!

THE BEST FPS GAME AND THE BEST XBOX GAME TILL HALO 2 |
| T-Dizzle from milwaukee says (6/Nov/2003): |
this game is the best game ever made for xbox. its totally worth buying xbox just to play the halo series. I dont even have to say any thing about this game just play it for yourself. The only thing is that there should be more guns. But halo next will fix that problem.

Stop Cusing U Re-Re's |
| Blondie from USA says (7/Nov/2003): |
Exactly what I said Above. Halo is the Best thing since Sliced bread! The Graphics are amazing, I play capture the flag with 4 tvs hooked up every friday night, and 16 people play. The Graphics are amazing, and we put tanks up on the base and kill everyone. there are even proffesional contests in each State. Tell me thats not cool. you can't because it is the coolest!

Halo!!!Timesplitters beater!? |
| Emmanuel H from Evansville,Ind.USA says (23/Nov/2003): |
Halo is the best first-person shooter.The graphics are very good
considering that it was one of the first games to come out on Xbox.I like how the music only comes on when the game is going to get though or the level is about to end.Timesplitters2 was a very good game but will not beat Halo.I encourage you to buy this game.

Halo is an awsome game!!!! |
| Angus Newhouse from Kennewick, USA says (26/Nov/2003): |
Halo is probably my favorite game that has come out on the market so far. Not only is it a good, solid FPS with good graphics and fun missions, it also has awsome multiplayer! One thing that makes Halo mulitplayer so much better than all the other multiplayers is that at sidewinder and bloodgulch you can pilot vehicles and run over all the other guy. HA HA HA! The weapons are varied though I was slightly dissapointed at the number of weapons. Only 8. UGH! But they are still awsome to use and the multiplayer levels are huge witch is always a good thing. The replay value is huge and the graphics are really nice! The gameplay itself is awsome unless you get lost in some huge underground place in single player. Then your kindof screwed especially if you have lots of flood after you. THe music is catchy and the game all around is almost perfect. But not quite. That's why I give it a 9 stars. The perfect game hasn't come out yet. I'm half expecting to be the one to make that perfect game. But Halo is definately the best one out right now! If you have an X-box, go out and get it!!!!!!

Halo is the best game I've ever played. |
| Mitch from Joplin, MO, USA says (18/Jan/2004): |
There are many reasons that make this game the best. The graphics, campaign mode, the guns, multiplayer, etc... I believe the music in this game really matches it's atmosphere. What is cool about the music is that whenever you here it, you know to be prepared to be attacked. The guns are cool, but I don't really like the fact that you can only carry 2 of them. Even though it is more realistic to only carry 2, it would have been more fun to carry at least 3 or 4 of them. The aliens (especially the grunts) are funny to watch. The grunts usually hang around the elites because they are to weak to fight themselves. However, if you are in legendary, don't be fooled by their size, if their is a group of them, they will kill you quite quickly. The hardest aliens to kill is the gold colored elites. Most people would say that the hunters are the hardest to kill, but all you have to do to kill them is get behind them with a pistol and shoot their back. I even killed some hunters without using any bullets or grenades just by getting behind them and doing a melee attack on them. It is not very smart to get close to a golden elite,however, because they will kill you with just one slice of their saber/sword. The vehicles are really cool. I do not really have a favorite vehicle because they are needed equally throughout the entire game. Although I don't like the idea that you can't blow up the tank/warthog. My favorite combination of guns, in multiplayer, is to have a sniper rifle and a shotgun. The reason for this is because you can shoot the other guy at long and short range. Plus, with the shotgun, if you are close enough, it only takes one shot to kill something. The fragmentation grenade usefull whenever you have an enemy trying to run away. Just lob one a few yards ahead of the enemy and let them run right into it!lol The plasma grenades are used whenever you are tired of joking around and you want to get rid of the person immediately. Just throw it on them and it will stay put until it blows, needless to say, their dead. If you have a vehicle in multiplayer chasing after you, throw 2 plasma grenades onto the vehicle, if the person doesn't get out, he/she is dead. Also, you can flip the vehicle the person is in just by throwing the fragmentation grenade in the path of the oncoming vehicle. Just one more thing, if you have a person in multiplayer, who always seems to go into the tank and it really seems cheap that he kills you soooo easily, all you have to do is get a sniper rifle and wait until you get a frontal view of him, then shoot where the person's face is showing. It will take at most 2 shots to kill the person in the tank. A more effective way to kill at short range is just to lob to plasma grenades onto the tank. I think I've covered most of this game. Can you see why its such a great game?!!!!!! How can you not like this game??? I think its the greatest game ever, until Halo 2 comes out, that is. Well, good luck on beating this game!!!!!

halo rules all |
| Tyler stilions from new york city says (28/Sep/2004): |
in my way i think halo is awesome. U people ou there are stupid if u like ps2 better. ps2 blows. i have seen that people liked ps2 better yea right.geez i bet halo2 will prolly geta better sale than ps2.prolly halo got a BETTER SALE. People u have those gai games like monkey ball and those unrealistic games for gai cube and ps2 are dumb. u guys probaly havent played halo or xbox. or any of bugies games or others. I used to like game cube but the only good game they had was super smash bro meele and that was a long time ago. i saw a xbox and its way better. i dont know but game cube has to childesh games.xbox has both but a little more in violence. halo rules xbox rules if u dont think so ur a idot.

I LIKE REAL SPROTS GAME) omg hes a fool. halo is good graphics and its cool lol. he said the aliens where stupid. i thought the grunts where funny a heck.

Best game of ALL TIME |
| Super Gaijin from Charlottetown, PEI says (12/Dec/2003): |
Greatest game ever made, it is now THE game amongst all of my friends who have played it.
Some of the smoothest, most detailed graphics I've ever seen on any console and better than half the PC's out there. The controls flow together so well and have even revolutionized FPS control setups ever since then. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound and HDTV support are such nice added touches to the XBox and make Halo even better (I didn't think it was possible either). When you've got a nice surround sound system with good bass and a nice 36" HDTV hooked up to it, the game just blows you away completely, especially in single player.
People complained about having alien races for your enemies since they were used in the past to avoid the human body coding that was so difficult to pull off. However, the bodies of these alien creatures react almost seamlessly as you rip round after round through their bodies. I just wish there was a little more gore in the shooting (ie limbs detatch, heads pop off, bodies torn apart by grenades and rockets). It'd be the absolute icing on the cake for that game but it is still absolutely amazing nonetheless.
The great assortment of weaponry is a nice little feature. That and the concept of only being able to hold two weapons at a time adding that nice touch of realism to bring you back down to earth. The weapons aren't as plenty as they are in some other games, but the tactics employed in using each one of them makes up for it. I'd sooner have 4 or 5 weapons with some substance to them than 20 guns that are just mostly modified versions of other guns already existing in the game or wielding multiple weapons (with the weapons just getting better as you go through them, *yawn*). A real marine wouldn't pull out dual pistols and fire them both of repeatedly with perfect accuracy, it's all about function over flair.
This game is absolutely incredible and even though I've been playing it since it pretty much first came out, I've never found myself bored of it.
If you play just one game on XBox, make sure it's Halo or you'll miss out on a whole new way of thinking.

BEST GAME!!! EVER!!!! |
| Sean from USA says (24/Nov/2003): |
This is the coolst game ever!!!Anyone who says it sucks deserves to be kicked in the face, HARD! I loved every minute of it! I cant explain how good it is! The wepons are awsome! The plot is really cool! The master chief is so cooool! I allways look in my Xbox magazine at the rating of the game before i buy it, but not with halo! It Is soooooo great! The aliens are awsome! The graphics are the best! Buy an xbox just so you can get halo. One thing though. It really should be rated teen.

HALO rules |
| Justin Desousa from Fall River,Massachusettes says (9/Feb/2004): |
It is the best game ever.Compaired to other fps this one stomps over the other's.The graphics on this game are great,the vehicles you can use are the best,heck even the covenant are cool.But master chief is the best.He looks cool and is cool.Microsoft did an awsome job with this game.And also i can't wait till Halo 2 comes out.That will also be the best game.I have beat halo 10x on legendary.i also found some glitches in the game that are cool,like the hidden rooms and being on top of the levels sniping all of the aliens out and beating all of the levels.And then playing the system link and beating all of my friends.i wish that halo would have been online enabled so you could play with other halo fanatics.i think i am really good at halo .and also i think that the banshee is the best because you can fly over the aliens and kill them.my friend is also a big halo fan.he is the person who got me to like halo.he is also the best at halo.he is the one who told me about the glitches and the part that you can go to the top of the level.

BEST GAME EVER TO HIT STORES!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| A gamer from Redding, USA says (16/Mar/2004): |
Halo I have to say is the best game I've ever played. Cleaning the floor with enemies is a good trait of mine. This game is great if your a kid looking for some action. Glitches and cheats aren't my favorite thing but, I have to addmit there sweet! One would be in Sidewinder (Caputre the Flag) if you have the flag go to the bars that have the boxes next to them. Press the R button to throw it across and have a teammate pick it up. Great tatic in this level. I now many more so if anyone out there thinks there the best consider otherwise. Overall this game is a gamers dream. I can't wait for Halo 2. Online action will be sweet. Killing people from other countries, huh, who could image. This game is a must get for everyone. I couldn't sleep the first night I played this at my friends house. After that I went out and bought and I'm only 11. So you see I am the best and age 11. If you would like to to know more about Halo make another review and maybe we will meet online, you never know. So to sum it all up this game is the best and I can cream anyone. But, who knows maybe a student will surpass THE MASTER.

What a Game Halo Is |
| Miguel nunez from Killeen, Texas , United States says (17/Mar/2004): |
Halo is $#< remove me > at !ing awesomes. I first played in summury vacation 2003 with my friend Ron on Xbox on Versus mode it took me about 2 hours to get the game. But i mastered it and beat my friend ron and jeff. They good , in fact best players i ever went against ecept for a guy with a profile called Halo king who i battled online. making a clan. beat a game with an old freind in co-op. and beat it in pc and been playing it online which adds two new weapons and six new maps pretty cool , but you get 2 more new maps in gamespy and other things. Cant wait for halo 2. Im a gamer and halo is an awesome game . Well im a good player . shotguns and machine guns are my style of weapons im a good sniper too . Ask some folks in internet (my profile is Ghostkiller). Well im hoping to find an awesome player who can kill me with an hog. Im pretty good my self on vehicles , i went agaisnt 3 strong enmys and won 50-4 by myself.Well i try not to play much but im still good , even have a lot of rookies in my team and started teaching them my styes

Halo Rocks!!! |
| LegolasElf says (15/Dec/2003): |
I have never seen such an awesome game as it, because its got puzzles, aliens, and my favorate, combat. Although I dislike the unnessessary cussing, its one of my favorate games. I often can't figgure out the puzzles, so I go places like here for help. I also love the Co-Op mode, as, my brother and I beat it as. It was hard going over the debree with the warthog with such low time. He got killed, and couldn't beat it without me as I saved the day. I just can't wait for Halo 2! I saw on the final level he said it just began. Oh, and those Flood freak me out! I have ventured with my brother through the levels, solved puzzles, and wasted my bullets on trying to kill the Moniter. We like shooting dead aleins and walking around next to the fire. When a hunter comes, peice of cake, as we shoot him down dead and cortona gives us a hand. We also like to kick back and stare into alein's faces with the sniper rifle. Man, they need a bath!
