Halo is a lot of fun.
Halo is an excellent game. Even though it may be getting dated, especially with the release of Halo 3 on the XBox 360, it is a very fun experience and should not be missed by any game enthusiast.

This game sucks
Such an overly overrated game like god of war. This is just another fantasy FPS that is nothing special (at least to me.) I'm not gonna write some long review on why it sucks. I'm just gonna recommend a much better substitute like doom for playstation
-P.S. Get a life halo fanatics. Theres more to life than some stupid looking green astronaut shooting other stupid looking things

HALO (Plot Simplified)
Introduction:
Okay, I'm writing this review because of an article I read in Gamepro magazine that said that HALO's plot was so difficult that not even it's biggest fanboys could follow it, and I strongly disagree. I do not consider myself to be a HALO fanboy and in my opinion, HALO's story & plot are rather easy to follow compared to other games out there.
So, just so you know, I won't be writing much about the gameplay here. There are already plenty of other reviews for that, my review is to simplify the plot so that anyone who read that article or heard from a friend that HALO's story/plot are too difficult to follow can read it and draw their own conclusions...
Why? Because HALO is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and I'd hate for anyone to miss out on it because some people happen to think that it's plot/story are to difficult to follow.
The Plot: (Simplified)
In the future, human kind has finally created space ships capable of interstellar travel. However, this has caught the attention of The Covenant, an alien race of religious extremeists who view human kind as some kind of great demonic presence. (Sound familiar?) Now human kind is locked in an epic struggle for survival against The Covenant.
The Marines: Human kind's finest soldiers. Unfortunately, The Covenant soldiers tend to make short work of them...
The Covenant: An alien race of religious extremeists bent on the destruction of the human race.
Spartan II: Super soldiers trained for combat since they were just children, complete with cybernetic enhancements, the Spartan II's are the only soldiers who can go toe to toe with The Covenant's soldiers and hope to prevale. Unfortuately, since the Covenant attack on the human space colony "Reach" only one Spartan II was known to survive. Spartan 117, the Master Chief.
Reach: A human space colony that was attacked and destroyed by The Covenant.
Spartan 117, the Master Chief: The ultimate Spartan II, capable of handling both human & covenant weapons & vehicles. Man kind's last hope for survival.
HALO: A ring world created by the Forerunners as a last resort against The Flood.
Forerunners: An ancient alien race that is now extinct, they were responsible for the advent of HALO.
The Flood: A paracitic race of aliens, once they attach themselves to a human or covenant host, the host will begin to mutate and reproduce more Flood spores.
This is basically all you need to know about the HALO universe, the rest you will learn as you play through the game.
If what you've read so far sounds too complicated, then it probably is for you. if not, buy yourself a copy of "HALO: Combat Evolved" and let the adventure for the salvation of the human race begin!
I was never a big fan of FPS's, (First-Person Shooters) but HALO's smooth controls & epic story made me forget I was playing an FPS at all!
Overall Rating: 5 Stars! The award winning classic that started the epic adventure! No XBOX LIVE capabilities, but top-notch multiplayer function & epic story make HALO: Combat Evolved a 5 Star experience.

This game rocks!!!
All I can say is that this game was made for the Xbox. I had so much fun with it. The game has great graphics and is vey intence. If you don't have Halo already then I suggest that you buy it. You will probably enjoy it as much as I have.
