Date of Review: May 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Halo is simply the greatest shooter game ever. You never get bored of it, and it is a great game.
Halo
Do you enjoy whacking aliens in the back? Do you enjoy watching a helpless little grunt struggle to get the grenade you threw off its head? If you find doing these things fascinating, then you should definitely look into the game that made history called Halo.
I was breathless, the first time I played halo. Literally, I was breathless. Drool was coming out of my mouth, as I watched in awe as a grunt went flying across the screen. Now let me tell the readers of this article something, if you own a Xbox and don t have halo, then you are more pathetic than I can describe. Everyone needs to own halo, I will tell you why.
The most impressive trait that halo has, is that it was a starting game for the Xbox. Most games that first come out with a new system are pretty dumb. However, Halo is a phenomenal exception. Many professional gamer websites rated Halo 9.6 out of 10. This is the highest rating yet. Very few other games have ratings equal to this. Halo is quite the game of choice if you like to have massive alien casualties.
Also, most shooter games really don t have a story plot. All you want to do is see how fast you can kill something. Once again, halo is the exception. The plot is deep, and pretty easy to follow. It also has twists around every corner.
The graphics are excellent for one of the earliest Xbox games. Every single alien has been meticulously detailed to perfection. The vehicles have dents and scratches. Marines have unique personalities. The time that must have gone into a game of this magnitude is simply impossible to measure.
The many varieties of aliens give the game an individual quality. Also, the guns truly give the game its appeal. You can choose from a range of arsenals. Machine gun and sniper rifle are just some of the many marine weapons. Plasma Rifle and needler, are some of the Covenate s brutal firearms. Fortunately, you can have whatever weapon you want.
Overall the game is simply brilliant. Don t you look forward to pumping lead into aliens? Don t you want to blast a rocket into a covenate vehicle? The answer is simple, go get halo. NOW!
