Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox

Pros: Astounding graphics, an interesting storyline, addictive!

Cons: Absolutely none.

The Bottom Line: Absolutely a Triple-A game, hard to put down. Keeps you thinking, and is thoroughly enjoyable to play.

Review: Sharing everyone else's viewpoint who have revied Halo here before, most would agree that Halo is "THE" game to own for 2001, and might possibly hold that title through 2002.

Nothing short of top-notch, Halo is the game that is helping...

Pros: The BEST console shooter in history.

Cons: No bots in multiplayer.

The Bottom Line: The greatest FPS of all time has found its home on the Xbox. Buy an Xbox to get this game.

Review: Some systems only wish they could have the successful launch that the Xbox did. PS2 had a pretty impressive launch but it didn't last as long as it should have due to the small amount of quality games. The Gamecube had a semi-successful launch with...

Pros: Excellent gameplay, absorbing storyline.

Cons: If you have played half-life, unreal, quake 3, quake 2 etc you have played this.

The Bottom Line: Great Graphics, Great Sounds, Great Story. But it is still a first person shooter same as all other first person shooters.

Review: General
Ok. I know everyone else gives this game glowing reviews. Don't get me wrong it is a good game, the graphics are great, the story is absorbing, the sounds are excellent. That said, it is still a first person shooter.

Weapons...

Pros: Awesome visuals & mood music, immersive, Multiplayer features.

Cons: Linear game play, erk! I only meant to play it for an hour. :)

The Bottom Line: This is the best reason to get one. Add the Hi Def AV pack and tell your spouse you got it for the DVD playback!

Review: I just got myself an X-Box. I have always enjoyed playing games, and surprised myself by still wanting a console at age 30! :) I usually favor RPG's and Space Simulations over arcade type shooters. Having heard all the news about Halo I decided it...

Pros: Graphics, speed/fluidity, controls, sounds, story, co-op

Cons: Some repetitive levels, no multiplayer bots

The Bottom Line: Killer App. Gotta buy it. Go now.

Review: Story:
An amalgam of various alien species have joined together to form a massive army known as the Covenant. They have determined that humans are sacreligious and must be destroyed. They march forth on a holy conquest to destroy all of...

Pros: Absolutely the best "first person shooter" I've ever seen or played and its on Xbox.

Cons: What cons? Don't bother me, I'm saving the human race!

The Bottom Line: Highly Recommended for Adults. And "mature" kids too. Play it with the sound cranked up on a big screen tv with the svideo. You won't be sorry. Its incredible.

Review: When I bought my Xbox System, Halo was one of the games that came with it. I purchased the Adrenaline Pack from Amazon. Although I had been reading reviews and stories about gaming systems and games and was wary of Xbox because of the newness of it...

Pros: Gameplay Great, Storyline Good, Detail of object animation incredible

Cons: Resolution for big screen display could be better.

The Bottom Line: Best gameplay, graphic balance to date.

Review: Being a former PC gamer, I have several games to compare this one to. I started FPS'ers with Wolfenstein, Doom, Doom II, then Duke Nukem, Heretic II ,Half-Life ,Hexen ,Quake Tomb raider , Turok, Unreal Tournament, and most recently Ghost Recon for...

Pros: Graphics,Sound,Multiplayer,Single Player,the game is just great

Cons: a few more vehicle multiplayer levels wouldnt have gone amiss

The Bottom Line: Everyone should own Halo, even if they dont like FPS games. Its just too perfect not to.

Review: 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...

Pros: Good graphics, excellent gameplay, massive multiplayer options

Cons: Difficult controls, lack of variey

The Bottom Line: Despite some controller problems, Halo is a must have game for ANY X-Box owner.

Review: I first played Halo at a friends when it first came out. After getting over the initial shock of just how 'real' the graphics looked, I got pretty into the game.

Halo places you as a Master Chief in the futuristic war between Humans and...

Pros: Unsurpassed graphics, artificial intelligence, multiplayer, fun, sound, vehicles, and control

Cons: Very few weapons

The Bottom Line: The best first-person shooter ever made. It utilizes the horsepower of the Xbox to take gigantic strides of innovation resulting in something you've never seen before.

Review: Halo's Hype

In 1999, Bungie Studios announced that they would release Halo as a PC title. Even the earliest demo of Halo at the computer-expo was groundbreaking in both graphics and gameplay which gave Halo its soaring expectations...
