Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox

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!

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 and...

Pros: Gameplay, graphics, replay value, various modes and much to customize, multiplayer modes
Cons: Comparatively higher learning curve because of the default controls.

Halo is my new favorite game to play. I had been watching this game, and awaiting it's arrival for some time now. Finally, Bungie delivered, and the product was amazing. At first, I was simply awed by the entire game - the artificial intelligence, the...

Pros: Excellent multiplayer, good overall gameplay, nice variety
Cons: A few more 'levels' would have been nice.

My husband and I recently purchased an XBox. Halo was part of the package and my husband started playing it.. I watched for a while and then yawned and went back to what I'd been doing before. Another "shoot-em-up" game, as I call them - the genre that...

Pros: Graphics, Story, Gameplay, Music, Sound, pretty much everything
Cons: Can get a little tough in spots.

Before i get into the game, I suggest picking up a copy of the prequel called "The Fall of Reach." Even if you don't read you'll really enjoy it plus it gives even more depth to the game's story.

Halo has been anticipated as one of the...

Pros: Graphics, AI (more advanced than I have ever seen), multiplayer options, exhaustive detail of 'levels'
Cons: Not enough variation of enemies, weapons, vehicles; too short; not enough customization

Halo is the title selling game for the Xbox system and for a reason. The graphics I have seen are some of the most meticulously details I have seen in a game. Not only that, but the AI of the marines and enemies are quite advanced. I have had many times...

Pros: Graphics,Sound,Gameplay,Depth,Presentation-basically everything
Cons: nothing

The graphics in Halo are breathtaking to say the least. The character models of both your comrades, and the villainous aliens are eerily well detailed. You'll see elite covenant troopers jump at you and flail their weapons in effort to make contact with...

Pros: Awesome visuals & mood music, immersive, Multiplayer features.
Cons: Linear game play, erk! I only meant to play it for an hour. :)

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: BEST DAMN VIDEO GAME. EVER.
Cons: repetitive levels at time. Few weapons.

Now, I know that the title of "Best video game. ever." is going to get a lot of criticisms and heat, but from the simple that this game can be put up against for such an argument says a lot. First, it is one of the most polish games I've played in a...

Pros: Great graphics, great controls, great story, great game
Cons: No bots in deathmatches

I really cant say enough about Halo, it's such a great game. The game centers around the scenario that an alien race has conquered Earth, and the surviving humans have fled into outer space and crash-landed on this strange artifact known as Halo. The...

Pros: You can't stop playing this game. It creates a new standard for console. games.
Cons: You may get blisters from the hours that you will play the game.

INTRO:I if you are reading this you're probably trying to save time, so I will keep this brief. Below are the reviews of the STORY, GAMEPLAY, SOUND, and GRAPHICS. Enjoy!

STORY: The story to "Halo" deserves a reward on its own. Basically there...

Pros: Graphics, sound, plot, weapons and vehicles, great multiplayer
Cons: The Flood is too weird. Needs a sequel soon!

Halo is the best game I have ever played on any system. The graphics make nice "eye candy" and the sounds are great. The storyline is terrific. The weaponry and vehicles in Halo are stunning. Multiplayer mode is awesome! You actually feel like...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

So you have gotten around to reading this review have you? You want to know about the game Halo don't you? You want me to shut up dont you? alright enough of my rambling, lets get to the game.

This game is visually stunning. Everything is...

Pros: This game takes full advantage of what the Xbox has to offer
Cons: Too much like quake or half life

First of all let me just say that I can not compare this game to other Xbox games because I only have 1 other one and that is Madden but anyways here is my opinion.

First of all you will notice that the game is set up in the since of a first...

Pros: Co-op mode, addicting multiplayer, SYSTEM LINK SUPPORT FOR UP TO 16-PLAYER MULTIPLAYER GAMES!!!
Cons: Have to wait until Halo 2 for online play :(

There is no doubt in my mind why Bungie's first XBOX title received a 9.5 rating by the Official XBOX Magazine. The game has got it all: crisp graphics, good story, and INCREDIBLE multiplayer.

The single player mode (campaign) may have its...

Pros: Best Game on Xbox.
Cons: No on line Capabilities.

Assuming that most people reading this review already know a bit about what the game is about, this is my opinion.

My background: I had started with Atari 2600. Then got the Commodore 64, Nintendo, Sega, Super Nintendo, PC, Playstation, and...
