"Halo was, is, and will be the most memorable gaming experience to me for a long time. The first time I placed the disc into the drive and booted it up, I was in awe at the graphics, sound, gameplay, and very immersive story. The first level was intense as I learned the controls, and tried to get to the next level to continue the incredible experience!"
Overall: The game is one of the most perfect games that was ever created. Every aspect of this game was perfect in every way, from the smallest detail down to the largest detail it is perfect. Gameplay: Long action packed campaign is one of the main things that made this game so amazing. The multi-player maps are a master piece and do not lagg or glitch. There are a few gameplay glitches but none are major ones. Graphics: It was hard for me too believe that this game was an xbox game. The graphics are perfect and never lagg in campain or in system link. There are enough maps to keep it very interesting and keep busy for hours of gameplay. Sound: Sound was as perfect as the game itself. The sounds of the guns and grenades were perfect and were right on time with thte explosions. The voices in campaign were pefect and matched the characters so well it was as if the people were real. Suggestions: You should have made this mult-player!!! Everybody would rather play halo:ce than halo 2. ( i would ) If halo 2 werent already out i would tell you not to mess it up , but you already screwed it up.
I think halo is a cool game but the thing is after a while it just kinda fades away it just gets boring it is just youre gonna keep on making games of halo and soon i bet youre gonna go bank rupt you know how mutch games suck after its the sixth sequel but dont get me wrong i still am about to wet my self over halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gameplay:
THe only think that sucks is the weapn holding Graphics:
it still has the best graphics ive ever seen Sound:
good but i think rock would souit halo a bit better Suggestions:
Overall: Awesome, this is actually the first game I have ever played from beginning to end without stopping. This game sucks you in and doesn't let go, the cinematics are amazing! Gameplay: Where do I start? The campaign mode is kind of short, but it is never boring. The game has very good replay value. The difficulty settings will keep you busy for hours and hours. There is one part in the game that I actually asked myself if that really happened. One of the best games of all time, a must have for every xbox owner. Graphics: Visually this game is still one of the best looking games on the xbox and that is saying alot with it being released at the launch. Sound: This game sounds so good in surround sound, everything sounds realistic. It gives me chills every time I hear the menu sound :-)~ Suggestions: Wow, thats all I have to say
Overall: Halo is the best xbox game ever. It came out near the xbox release and it still reigns champion. The single player, the multiplayer, the EVERYTHING is AWESOME! Gameplay: Running around with big guns shooting aliens has never been better. The storyline is one of the greatest and most epic of all time! Graphics: The graphics... wow even today they are still top notch. Everything from the map designs to the explosion effects are stunning. Still one of the best. Sound: The charcter voices are beautiful, the gun sounds are great, and the music is the best in my books EVER! Suggestions: XBL!! (although u have that in halo2, so no, no suggestions :P )
Overall: FPS at its finest. Halo brings everything you want, need, and will ever dream of in a FPS. The weapons are all interesting and brings different gaming elements to the game. The vehicles are all a treat to take for a spin. The plot is full of twists and turns and it never lets your adrenaline stop pumping. Halo is a must have for EVERY xbox owner because it will be a classic for years to come. Halo:Combat Evolved? HA! Halo:Gaming Evolved! Gameplay: Almost perfect gameplay. The controls are a dream to work with. Plus you are able to adjust them to your liking. The weapons are all different and unique. The pistol has changed the game completely especially in MP. The MP is absolutely flawless. LANS are a blast and it is a shame that the game is not LIVE compatible. Graphics: Visiually, it surely does not push the xbox to its limits. However, it is surprisingly one of the best looking games for the xbox. The explosions are cool and guns firing look semi-realistic. All of the MC's look phenomenal and the Marines as well as enemies look good as well. The MP maps are what stand out the most as a true accomplishment for Bungie. Sound: Truly the best part, I think. The musical score for the game is absolutely amazing. The music is perfect for the game and it sets the mood while entering at perfect times to make certain parts of the game more exciting. Also the sound effects are awesome. Making a nade blow up and actually hearing the sound of sand falling down as a result just brings chills to my spine. Truly a masterpiece. Suggestions: This game just screams sequel.
Overall: Halo is an amazing game. I have had the chance to buy and play both halo 1 and 2, and two is no where near as good as 1. the polish is just not there in the second game. enough said, all you do is murder covenant alien soilders. now that may sound boring but it is not because there is a huge amount of strategy to it. plus co-op and multiplayer are amazing. Gameplay: This is a FPS meaning all you do is shoot run and jump in first person. plus you can only carry two weapons at a time so you have to find the right combination for each different alien type and situation. also you can play through thr one player game with a friend on the same tv. That makes the games longevity soar. one of the best games ever made in my opinion. Graphics: The graphics rock in halo. from the second I put the game in the XBOX I was amazed. every blade of grass can be seen and the draw distance is incredible. the mission objectives are there but the game gives them to you in a wa y that the game feels free roaming in a sense, and thats good because there is alot to see and shoot. absolutlely breathtaking. Sound: the music is great and the guns has its ownn distinct sound. when you hear the sniper bullet ring out you know your dead its gut renching and kind of neat at the same time. every thing sound and music wise goes together to create an amazing immersive expeirence. Suggestions: great job all around. I only hope XBOX 2 is backwards compatble so I can play the game even longer. wonderful game.
Overall: THIS. IS. A. REAL. GAME. i swear. i may have only had this game for a month, but i can't put the controller down. its that good. Gameplay: Awsome. simply awsome. 10 levels goes a long way, not to forget split screen. only a word like
superpowerlyawsome or superultraultimate can discribe it. no, wait, a word larger would have to. Graphics: Okay. not the best graphics but its nice. covenent aliens look cool and the master cheif looks awsome. not to forget the cool weaponary. Sound: The music is awsome. i'm going to order it soon. each song begins to play right when it needs to play. Suggestions: This is a real game. i'm amazed.
Overall: Now this is one of those games you just got to have, very good Campaign and also very good multi-player. So i say get out there and buy it! Gameplay: The gameplay is amazing the whole story behind the game is so complex you really cant grasp the whole thing playing the game through once it also has an amazing multi-player option.
Graphics: From the massive environments to the highly detailed characters and weapons,Halo,even to this day,has some of the best graphics ever seen Sound: sounds are great. All the songs in the game match the position you are in the game so perfectly you sometimes forget theres even music playing because it gets you so involved in the game.
Overall: This is by far the best game ever made. But when Halo 2 comes out that will be the best game ever made and it will stay that way. Gameplay: I have had this game for more than two years and im still not tired of it, and ive already pre-ordered Hlao 2. Graphics: The best graphics that have ever been put into a game. This is just one amazing piece of work. Sound: This game has great sound and as usual, and its a little obvious this got game of the year.Its a shame every magazine in the world didnt this a perfect score. Suggestions: get started on Halo 3
Overall: I have played halo since I got it last year on christmas. Since then I have noticed all the neat glitches and tricks that are in multiplayer lavels and in campaign mode.Its a really great to play on XBConnect and system link CTF games with lots of people. Gameplay: Multiplayer is the best. But if you by yourself and you don't have XBC then campaign is good. When your playing online for the first time, it feels really good when you get a double kill, triple kill, or even a killtacular. Also if you get head shots with a Sniper-1 shot- and with a pistol-3 shots- Graphics: Personnaly,I think the graphis are better than pretty much every other game. Although Warthogs, Ghosts, etc. are not a realistic. In Halo 2 you will be able to blow off hub caps on 'hogs, and smash through weak points on bases and structures. I have to say they did a pretty could job with the blood. It really sprays when you get an elite hot(plasma sticks to enemy). Sound: I like the sound a lot. It is really realistic, for example when an elite gets its shileds taken down it gets pissed and yells. The grunts yell at you and scream with fright. If you kill somebody they will bake different groans and yells. The warthogs have kind of a wierd thing about them though. When you get withen 20 feet of a warthog the key turns automatically. It wouldbe better in my opinion to make the the sound of the ingition and the key turing when you get in the warthog. WHen I play it sounds really good because i turn up my base on my "Logitech wireless 5.1 surroud-sound speaker system w/ volume contol remote" Suggestions: Make the ignition to the 'Hog sound when you get in the car. Make the game so you can blow off week points and break hubcaps. Get more weapons and features. New characters and new enemy creatures. Put in a surprise in Halo 2 just like the flood in Halo.
Overall: its a pretty fun game. the story is lame though. if u play it once it gets pretty lame, even with the different levels of play.
the biggest reason y i play this game is the multiplayer feature with system link, or XB connect.
this is definetly a jiant party game Gameplay: desent but single player could be better.
controlls are good but needs more tactical moves like leaning Graphics: solid visuals with guns, terrian, and enemys. Though if you have a darker tv or high def, it gets very dark very fast Sound: excellent sound though the first song they play you get the impression you are going to fight monks Suggestions: all of the problems.........
FIX THEM ALL FOR HALO2
Overall: This is THE best game for X-Box by far! You will never grow tired of it, especially with the multiplayer. Gameplay: The controls are really easy, and the guns are sweet! I love driving the vehicles on this game. Overall, the gameplay rocks. Graphics: The graphics are awesome. Some of the textures and backgrounds look amazing. Master Chief's suit looks so awesome! Sound: Most of the music on this game is really good. The guns sound really cool. It's awesome when the grunts squeal! Suggestions: More vehicles and guns in Halo 2.
Overall: lets see best game of all time soon to be second only to halo2 this game truly owns my sole not really but poetically yes Gameplay: intense i played co-op with my friend he litrally peed his panse i dont joke he smelled of urine till we paused good thing it was at his house not mine Graphics: one of the best visual games out there splinter cell might be better but.....i dont think so halo is better Sound: besides the assualt riffle sounding whimpy everything else was awsome i especially liked when marines would say something like get up so i can kill you again ( !&%$@#* mendoza) Suggestions: i want to be able to blow those dropships out of the sky
Overall: unspeakably the best game ever everyone knows ddddddduuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh whats to argu?

GAME CONSOLE... AND YES I AM A
TRUE HALO ADDICT AND A
UNBEATABLE ONE TO! Gameplay: this game had the best levels and all the
best enemies... my props to microsoft for
making the best game ever to obe

can ever think of... the only problem is
that i wish they could make more
glitches....like in every level
Sound: pretty good sounds... although they are
not the greatest everything else makes
up for this little part Suggestions: no suggestions just MAJOR props... best

Overall: HALO IS THE most EXILENT game iv EVER played i love the guns are realistic and the CO-OP IS EVEN better
Gameplay: The story behind halo is the BESTrd and the CO-OP is Fun Chase sometimes during the game i felt like fighting my Friend in the MULTILAYER Graphics: The visual description is EXILENT
:} the explotions where ok and the COVENENT lookes where very real Sound: The sound was EXELENT ;} i know i say that alot but it was GOOD i love the sound of the VEHICALES SCREW FLANDRES. Suggestions: MAKE MORE WEAPONS
Overall: THE greatest game in computing history, i dont care what all you half life bums think, this wupps half life and all its mods combined, this is gaming, i bought this game nearly 2 years ago now, and im still playing it now, ive nearly played this game every day since i got it, fantastic graphics, (in my opinion), fantastic sound, sensational gameplay, beats all other games, the only game you will ever need....EVER. Gameplay: Like i said the greatest game ever, what more can you ask for killing, many different species, lots of blood, marines getting killed left right and centre, first person shooting + flying + driving and an awesome multiplayer aswell, how can anyone ask for more, this is all types of games in one, including beat em ups, ooooooo killing an elite with ya fists, cant get any better than that (well until HALO 2 that is). Graphics: In my opinion ace, has its flaws i will admit but still watching a frag grenade explode in the middle of a jackal gathering and watchin the plasma grenade stick to an elite is alrite in my book, and as for the blood, even tho its all diff coloured, (what you expect, aliens havin red blood), also the water effects are brilliant, and as for the detail on Master Chief...well its just ace. Sound: Listening to the scorpion tank unleash its fury on the banshee, hearing an elite scream for help when you kick ten lots of **** out of it, well what more can you ask for. Suggestions: No suggestion at all, you have created by far the greatest game ever, well done bungie and microsoft. I pay my homage to ya.
Overall: Oh come on you already know. The best FPS ever made. Ive had this game for more than 2 years and it still amazes me. A more Perfect combat game youll never see. Join the rest of the human race and buy it now. Gameplay: Flawless. It brings to life every sci-fi fans dreams as soon as you start playing. These controls have single handedly redefined how FPS's are played. A true work of art. Graphics: I have no words to describe the graphics but since you need 100...how bout Perfect, Flawless, Amazing, Incredible, Unreal etc, etc. Sound: Are you kidding?! I own the CD single where Master Chief raps about the Covenant being a bunch of alien !&%$@#* . Perfect war music. Perfect Monk music. Perfect in every way. Suggestions: Halo forever.
Overall: Now this is one of those games you just got to have, very good Campeign
and also very good multiplayer.
Now the weapons are just so powerfull they will blast you out of your seat and blow your hands off with the recoil of the controll pads vibration.
There are a vast range of weapons from handgun to RPG (Rocket prepelled grenade).
So i say get out there and buy it! Gameplay: The gameplay very easy to pick up its 1 of those games you just pick up the controller and learn it within a few minutes.
its a very realistic game that just gets your adrenalin pumping Graphics: Now on to visual Eg. The grass has been patched in which means it actually looks like real grass it is truely amazing and the graphics on the guns are also very good personally the best iv seen so far Sound: Now sound this is the good part even the sightest bang in the game will blow your ears clean off dont let that put you off ;) Suggestions: Keep up the good work guy you do me proud ;)
Overall: I think this is one of the best first person shooters ever. The controls fit the game perfectly. This game also has a great storyline and great graphics Gameplay: One of the best games ever. The gameplay is so addicting. I don't know how many times I've played slayer or done the single player campaign. Graphics: Great graphics in this game. I love the textures on the environments and the convenant look amazing. The vehicles also look amazing. Sound: Fantastic sound in this game. I love the sound the elites make when they're angry and the sounds the grunts make when they're scared. The weapons and vehicles also sound great.
Overall: A fun overly addictive fps, but let me set this clear with everyone, ok. It is just so old and outdated, but at the time of it's release, by God it was the best game ever. Gameplay: You can explore the open space sometimes and you can also steal weapons and ammo from anything. Enemies aren't very smart, altough they do run for cover and stuff. The marines are a discrace to the IQ test. I wish they had college in the future, because those guys are busted. Ok so the AI isn't top notch, but the weaponry gameplay is. Graphics: Excellent. Even for it's age it is a graphical powrehouse. When it was released a long time ago it was pretty much the best game in the video game industry. Sound: The aliens called grunts sound like a baby is yapping its head off. Plus the sounds your marines make just makes you want to beat their brains out with your rifle. The voice acting is excellent, but could use work. Suggestions: I already know it's going to be the best game this year so why should I help you with Halo 2?
Overall: This game is the best game on xbox. No other game has given me the enjoyment halo did the very first time I played it. It is a great game with a great story line and even better multiplayer. Gameplay: The gameplay is awsome, the fit the controls just right to the xbox controller and its easy to pick up. Single Player is great and playing campaign on co-op mode is a blast. The multiplayer is great and even better with system link. Graphics: The visuals were great at their time and are still good compared to some games out now. They could have been a little more polished but they were fantastic back in 2001. Sound: The sound is great, the bullets flying past you in multiplayer, vehicles and guns sound awsome. The soundtrack is great. Suggestions: Need Halo 2 NOW!!!!
Overall: Released alongside the Xbox itself in 2001,Halo is truly the killer app for the Xbox. The graphics,the sounds,everything takes advantage of the Xbox's awesome power. The multiplayer is one of the best I've seen since Super Smash Bros. Melee! I can't say enough positive things about Halo. All I can say is,bring on Halo 2! Gameplay: The controls are quick and responsive,with the only weakness being the initially aggravating vehicle controls. Graphics: From the massive environments to the highly detailed characters and weapons,Halo,even to this day,has some of the best graphics ever seen. Sound: The voice acting is dead-on,from the Marines' smack talk,to the screams of the Grunts. The environmental sounds are highly realistic,as well as weapon noises. However,it's music that earns sound the 5.0 rating. Suggestions: My suggestion for improvement is this:Support bots for multiplayer!
Overall: Is best game ever a description? Its a shame no other FPS can compete with its quality. It is a bit short, and doesn't allow for many options in MP though. Still its fun and excellently designed. A work of art. Gameplay: Battling aliens has never been this fun. Running them over in a jeep, or blowing them 50 feet into the air with a few grenades, or dropping one from hundreds of yards away with a sniper rifle, this is stuff dreams are made of, mine anyway. Graphics: Visual description: EXCELLENT
Textures are great, and bump-mapping boggles the mind. I love draw distances, and hence I love Halo. Sure it isn't photo-realistic, but its really nice anyway. Sound: I love hearing explosions, automatic gunfire, and little aliens scream like pigs as I lay waste to them. The theme music is some of the best in any game. Suggestions: It sounds like the sequel will have everything I could ask for. More is definitely better.
Overall: normally i despise shooters but this one is tight
the graphics,sound, every thing just plain kicks. I esspecialy love stomping all over my friends in multiplayer. Gameplay: The gamplay is simply put
mind blowing. The controls are perfectly set so when i first played i instinctivly new the controls after they were mentiond once. The story is a great addiion to the awsome gameplay. Graphics: The graphics were awsome. No doa3 but still completely perfect. The well orcestrating and ever melding graphics as you took down the blue blooded covenant. Sound: The sound is great. The bullets of 10 marines' guns all pounding out while grunts screem for their lives is just blissful.
Overall: The best game ive ever had the pleasure of playing. Getting this game is the best choice you could make, especially due to the new low prices. XBOX wouldn't be the same without it Gameplay: You can't get much better than this, with a smooth story line finished off with a twist to excite any gamer. Smooth running controls to add to the already stunning handling of the game. Graphics: As one of the first XBOX games out, you would expect many improvements over the years. But this game still falls above many games in quality and . Although levels tend to repeat the same type of rooms over and over, the enemy gives you little chance to notice. Sound: Great sound. It really takes affect on the library level, giving you the feeling of danger. The sound in this game doesn't irritate you like others will, even after you have played it for hours and hours. Suggestions: For a game that has been said as the best on xbox, you wouldn't find many suggestions to give. I was a little disapointed at not being able to use banshees in multiplayer though.
Overall: Best game I've ever played. If the sequel is better I'll never get anything done in life, since I'll be playing Halo 2 nonstop. I'd give it a 4.9 if that was an option, just to leave room for Halo 2 to get a 5 (hopefully), but !&%$@#* if it doesn't deserve a 5. 29 months and still going strong! Multiplayer ensures this game will never grow old. Gameplay: Controls are perfect. Action is perfect. Physics are amazing. Just the right combination of fps, storyline, adventure, etc. Graphics: Stunning. Is it really going to get better without going to XBOX 2? It is amazing that they got this kind of quality out of a launch title. Sound: Incredible, and at times creepy. Try hooking this bad boy up to a good surround sound system. You hear things you wish weren't there! Suggestions: Drop the bomb with Halo 2!
Overall: Halo is the best first person shooter of our time, bar-none. This game is an action simulator, not a treasure hunt for keys or switches to open doors. The unique thing about Halo is that you can only carry 2 guns and 2 types of grenades, which not only gives a realistic feel, but adds a great strategic element to the game. Single player lasted me at least 24 hours, just because of the legendary, a near impossible game, but it was very fun and worth the time. Then their is mutliplayer. O how sweet it is! Up to 16 players can play by connecting up to 4 xboxs and it's the greatest multiplayer explerience of all time! From driving vehicles,destroying aliens,and owning friends in multiplayer, Halo is the best FPS of all time, and you owe it to yourself to pick up this baby! Gameplay: Greatest gameplay in a game ever. This game could have been broken down into 2 seperate games with all the stuff you can do! Going from 1st person shooter to driving a tank or jeep is flawless and easy, no loading times. Switching guns and executing shots is simple and becomes very easy when you get used to it. And it is also the greatest grenade using game, its so easy and well executed, you will be at Bungies mercy! Graphics: The greatest graphics in a game I have ever seen. The visuals are simply stunning and it trully shows what the xbox can do. Sound: This to me is the weekest part of Halo, but it is still great! From the trashtalking marines to the high pitched voices of the grunts, to the "wart wart warts" of charging elites, the voice acting is dead on, the best I've ever seen in a video game. My only problem is that with my stereo, the bullets don't sound as powerfull as they should be, but it's probably my fault anyway! Suggestions: Please please please release Halo 2 in the summer, I can't wait much longer! I need this game!
Overall: When I first played Xbox, Iplayed Halo, I was so impressed and about 2 hours later I found out I was getting Halo and Xbox. I was so happy. I played it for hours, and unfortunetly I had the game beat by the end of the day. Now don't get me wrong this is one hell of a game, but I like replay value and this game lacks horribly in that category. I had the game beat on legendary by February, 5 person Halo is a blast, but multiplayer is the only reason I give this game 1.5 I love multiplayer! But the fact of the matter is this isn't a very good game. Gameplay: I like it between December '01 - February '02. Then I got bored of it. No replay value, No extras to keep me playing this game. Graphics: The visuals are nothing short of amazing. Not as amazing as DOA3, but amazing. The detail in the dirt, blood, and alien were great, one (okay about the only) of the best aspects in the game. Sound: Great sounds from the guns, to your teamates, to the aliens screaming "Run, He'll kill us all" I love it. The grenade's (exspcially Plasma) sounds were awsome. Suggestions: I must admit I cannot wait for Halo 2. But Hurry up and make it! Halo was the main reason I wanted Xbox And I was very dissapointed. Add some replay value to Halo 2, and alot more levels. 8 isn't enough.
Overall: I remember when I first got my Xbox through EB Games. The excitement of setting it up and the ensuing debate of just which game to play first. I settled on Halo and sat back in wonderment (even playing on my cheezy old 13" tv).
This game has doubtlessly changed the way combat games (especially with intriguing storylines) will be made for the next 5-10 years. The originality factor is high, if a bit inspired by its predecessors Half-Life and even Doom--but it pays sweet homage.
Its system of controls has become the standard of almost every FPS on the Xbox since its release. Gameplay: For the first time player, the controls take a little while to get used to, however they are intuitive and are adjustable for the most comfortable gaming experience.
You have the options of piloting all sorts of vehicles in concert with the storyline, which is arduous but has a great payoff. Graphics: The visuals of Halo, like so much of the rest of the game's aspects, have set the standard level of expectations from us gamers. Some may find them slightly less than perfect, but to me they made a totally immersive gaming experience. Sound: The sound of Halo is in depth and varies in style and mood as you progress through different areas and situations. All in all, the soundtrack itself is excellent, as well as the foley/sound effects. The voice acting is quite good.
