Review: Halo, simply rules. The A.I of the convenant is a amazing, the grunts even scream "the're everywhere" sometimes, and the elites let out a long, agonised groan when they die. If you start on easy you'll complete it pretty fast but you'll come back and you will spend AGES finishing it on legendary difficulty setting.
The graphics aren't quite as good as Dead or Alive 3 but they do show off the power of xbox.
Aswell as being a shooting and action/adventure game, Halo also sees you driving and flying. Yep, you can drive in the jeep named The Warthog, or the tank, The Scorpion. Or you can hover in the convenant ship The Ghost, or fly in The Banshee. All of these ships are difficult to get to grips with, but brilliantly addictive.
The weapon choice is incredibly vast. It boasts of ten guns and two grenades- human and alien.
The mutiplayer is superior to any other videogame. The deathmatch handles upto sixteen players (you can link four xboxes) and has over ten different modes. And as if that is'nt enough, there is also a co operative mode, so if you're struggling you can tackle the game side by side with a mate.
But every game has its problems and Halo is no exception. Firstly, there are only four different enemy types: Grunts, Jackals, Elites and hunters. Secondly, some levels are a bit repetetive, for example the level 343 Guilty Spark, all looks the same. But when you running around the massive landscapes, killing the inteligent aliens and admiring the graphics these problems will seem so insinificant you'll hardly notice them.
So in conclusion, if, at £35, you don't buy Halo you'd be completely kerrrazy- it's worth every penny of it. |
