space warrior versus aliens galore


You are a space suit-armored green warrior with several guns against a whole bunch of ugly and deadly aliens (the Covenant). Looks like fun. They stand in the way of you gaining control of a large mysterious ring located in space in this first person shooter. The story is told wonderfully in this action fest. You have fellow unarmored that speak to you as you meet them. Sometimes they join you on drives in jeeps and tanks throughout the game. You have the freedom to use the vehicle as a weapon here too. Alien road kill As the game progresses the mystery seems to rise and fall. The sound of guns firing, aliens "speaking" and explosions fill the air. This game is full of well paced action. It includes surprises and tension. The splendid graphics only enhance this game. It is a world that you can travel throughout if the area is reachable. You land near a sea and gradually make your way into the Covenant base The aliens range from a small orange squealer to a large and fearsome armored spiked foe. You can blast several of those small guys in a few seconds. The larger enemies will require more patience and care. The enemies actually are smart. They looked for you after they see you as if they have a plan. If they drop weapons you can pick those up and use it on their makers. The heat seeking needlier is nice. The enemies have tricks of their own too. Some are invisible. The gameplay is great in Halo. You can fire with abandon at your foes but it would be wise to find cover and pick your attacks. This is one long single player game. The multiplayer provides fun afterwards too. You can join with friends in different types of matches and try to kill each other in differently colored armors. This is a full game.

This has so much to offer and is a star among games.

Hardly Over-hyped

I was one of the last people to purchase (or even play) Halo, yet all of the hype hardly put a dent in the overall fun-factor when I finally suited up as a Spartan. The story is engaging and the controls are highly intuitive. Bungie's masterpiece certainly raised the bar for the genre--it is what a first-person shooter is supposed to be. If you own an XBOX but not Halo, you seriously need to amend that situation.

The Beginning of a Legacy

If you have ever touched a video game then you know about Halo. This game is one of the best things to happen to video games in a long time. It started the legend that is known as Halo and continues to even today. Books, sequels, prequels, anything you can think of; it's been made about Halo. If you say that you are a first-person shooter gamer and you don't own this game... then you are nothing...
