Amazon.com Review:
More often than not, when a game is in development for more than threeyears, it does not live up to the hype. Bungie's Halo is the exception.Not only does it meet expectations, it greatly exceeds them. This sci-fifirst-person shooter is a nearly perfect blend of gameplay, graphics, and sound.
The story revolves around the conflict between humans and an alien race known asthe Covenant. The aliens have discovered a powerful artifact--on the ring-shapedplanet called Halo--that will shift the balance of power, and it's up to theplayer to stop them. In addition to several first-person-shooter levels, thegame offers numerous opportunities to engage in vehicular combat. Both the enemyand allied artificial intelligence are extremely impressive. Enemies will usethe terrain and layout to put you in tight spots. Allies will know when to coverand aid you. For instance, if you hop into a jeep, an ally will know to jump inand man the turret on the back of it.
The graphics are exquisitely detailed, but only move at 30 frames per secondrather than 60. The sound effects and voice acting are superb. The level designis among the best ever; most of the game is engaging and challenging withoutbeing frustrating. There's also high replay value thanks to the built-insingle-player, cooperative, and deathmatch modes.
Much like the outstanding GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64, Haloraises the bar for console first-person shooters. All console action games willbe measured against Halo for years to come. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros: - Outstanding game design
- High replay value
- Impressive AI
Cons: - Several maps are used multiple times
- Save functions could have been better implemented
- Graphics move at 30 frames per second, not 60
Amazon.com Product Description:
This action shooter takes place on a mysterious alien world. It offers a combination of team-based first-person-shooter gameplay (reminiscent of Tribes) and third-person vehicle combat elements. Gameplay kicks off with the player heading down to the planet's surface in a troop carrier, à la Aliens. As the player and fellow marines exit, the remaining troopers form a flank in reaction to an oncoming onslaught of human and alien enemies.
It's this smart AI system that makes for a noticeably unique gameplay feel. Another very nice feature is the seamless transition into vehicular elements. As you venture through mission objectives, a variety of enemy flyers and on-ground buggies are yours for the taking. Come across a vehicle and the camera will pull back to a third-person view as you strap in and motor through crossfire. A co-op mode allows a friend to join you in the single-player missions. For chaotic fighting action, up to four players can duel in split-screen deathmatch mode or link systems for LAN play. However you choose to hero your way through Halo: Combat Evolved, the action should break in your new Xbox in explosive style.

Rating:  - Halo Forever!
Halo is perhaps one of the best games in history! At first I played it at a friend's house and then I decided to buy it. Halo is not as good as Halo 2, but has some advantages that Halo 2 doesn't, such as weapons. The Graphics are very realistic and it feels very intense. Lots of Weapons such as, Assault Rifles, Snipers, Rocket Launchers, Pistols, Plasma Pistols, Plasma Rifles, Needlers and Grenades! And lots of Enemies such as, Grunts, Elites, Jackles, Hunters, and the Flood! Halo is just really ... Read More
Rating: - Halo: Combat has Evolved
Not much for me to say.I beat Halo 2 and 3 on Legendary, but had never even played Halo 1.Kinda sad.So I got the game, and also beat it on Legendary.I think it's much tougher than Halo 2, but it's a classic.If you haven't played it yet, you must, if you are fan of the Halo franchise.
Rating: - This could very well be the best launch game ever.

Rating:  - The best of the series
Even foe none halo fans this game should be somthing everyone is able to appretiate. This game has one of the most in depth story lines ever for a Shooter no other hsooter ever got this involved with the story line this is less true today with games like Timeshift and Haze. But for it's time a great game everyone should try.
Rating: - What can I say?
My nephew had me get this for him. I haven't played it, but he loves it. So, I guess it's good!
