 Shockingly good June 17, 2008
When Halo came out I was not much of a gamer, but my brother told me he had heard it was good so I gave it a chance. I credit this game for This making me a gamer because it was simply that good. It's one of those few games that you don't expect much, but end up being among the best games you play. It's so great that even if there had not being any sequels it would have still remain as memorable as it is today.
Best PC Game ever June 11, 2008
Halo was and continue to be the best PC game ever released. Best storyline, best drama, best graphics, great MP, simply great. If you never played Halo you have not experienced scifi yet. Outstanding work of creativity, soundtrack, plot, characters, what can I say !!!!???
timeless June 6, 2008
Halo is truly one of the best games ever made. Its getting kinda old, but I think its timeless, like doom. Several elements come togather to make this a great game. The graphics, the combat, the soundtrack, even the story, the're all perfect. Some of this is up to opinion, but the one thing thats undeniable is Halo's unique gameplay. Most first person shooters are very linier, the missions, the objectives, they are all planed out for you, like a movie. The problem with this is that the second time you play it, its just not the same, you already know whats going to happen. Halo is different. There is no word for it so I'll just say that Halo's combat is like a mixing bowel. Instead of planning the mission out for you, they give you an open battle field, and several ways to get throuhg. For example; on the level Assault on Control Room, you immerge out into a valley, not a planned senario, just a valley with various friendlies, enemies, weapons, and veicles in it. You have the option to get in a warthog(big jeep with a turret on it) and drive around shooting the enemy, you could find the sniper rifle and snipe the enemy, you could use your assault rifle to go out an meet the infantry on foot, you could even find the rocket launcher and take out the mortar tank, the possibilities are endless. Making this combat experience even more complex is the fact that every veicle, weapon, and enemy has their own strengths and weeknesses, which means you must think to get out alive. All in all, Halo is one of the best games ever to play in campaign mode. Sadly this game was made before xbox live, so theres no online, even though the multiplayer is breathtaking.
If you like shooters or games with engrossing stories, but this, what do you have to lose, its so cheap now lol.
Halo Combat Evolved! Great! June 2, 2008
Hi, I just beat Halo, I know, its a little late, we are in 2008 and halo 3 is the big thing. But I'm 13 and I was never allowed to play halo till now.
I beat this game in about a week and a half, and I say this is a very fun game and a great game.
Pros
Graphics are great only in that time it was made, if it was made today, the graphics would be better.
Multi-player beats every game at this game mode. With two player, its fun but not as fun as three and four player. Multiplayer has so many levels and games. Multiplayer is easily one of the best (maybe the best) in this game.
Campaign is very fun, the cutscenes are very realistic and very cool. i feels like a movie, really. The story is very addicting and the flood just made the story even better. Without the flood, the game would be just about shooting easy covenant aliens over and over again. The flood makes the game hard.
Cons
Music is horrible. Thats all I have to say.
Not enough aliens. All you fight are Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Hunters (barely), Flood (four different kinds) and senitals. Thats all. It might seem a lot but its not. I hope Halo 2 has more and better aliens.
Why is it M rated? There is blood and violence, and thats it. Barely any bad languague, and no gore. I heard there were T games worse than this. Its just weird.
I can tell why Halo got game of the year for 2001.
 I was mis-led May 22, 2008

I bought a used xbox just a few weeks ago. Now we all heard that Halo is a must have, so natrually I ordered a copy of this also. WHen I first played the first level, it was descent. But after the 3rd level, I honestly just stopped playing. Not only is there an ENOURMOUS amount of back tracking, but no map. I cant begin to tell you the furustration I had/have. I honestly never completed this game. I stopped after the level called 'the flood.' I guess the rumors of microsoft paying off reviewers is true!
