No, mate. I love it. I feel blessed.


What was Halo? huh?

Halo was 8 weapons, 2 types of grenades. 10 levels where you just go from point a to b to c. Halo had 4-5 different types of vehicles and a few more types of enemies. That was it.
That was Halo.


But so many don't understand. They don't understand that it's about the chanting monks. It's about being a supersoldier on a dying star, falling from grace with a carmina burena inspired soundtrack! That's what its about.

the... pink enemy palette. the bright colors and strange art designs. the mix of tactical only-two weapons, and frantic doom run and gun(the libary level)...

it all just colided together.


And when people ask me, why I love Halo so much, I just look at them. I just look at them, and I don't say a god damn word. Because they dont understand. They dont understand that its about the guy next to you(ai or co-op buddy).

Closing Comments
So let’s recap. Single player’s good, without question, but the sheer weight of hype alone brings inevitable disappointment. It would have had to have troubled the very best single-player games ever to reach for those highs but it doesn’t. But it all pales into insignificance against the tech-brimming majesty of the multiplay. Again, the conventional multiplay aspects would have left most reviewers a sweaty mess on their carpets, but Bungie’s innovations have pushed the boundaries on not only what multiplay does, but what multiplayer is. Shooting doesn’t seem to be the be all and end all, all of a sudden.

8 Presentation
Epic blockbuster stuff. The soundtrack is an 11th man, lending authority, excitement and gravitas and it’s all pulled off with expected aplomb.
8 Graphics
Make no mistake, this is next-gen eye candy. But we expected better graphics from Microsoft’s number one men.
9 Sound
Exemplary. From shell casings bouncing on the ground and dislodging fresh pebbles to Marty O’Donnell’s iconic and amazing soundtrack, it’s a genuine highlight.
9.5 Gameplay
What Halo does best. Solid. Professional. Has the touch.
10 Lasting Appeal
If you play over Xbox Live, this game is going to gobble your life like a cancer.
9.5
Incredible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

strong + weak transalated:

- Strong point: It associates a block bus sprouting movie beautiful [su] toe [li], until fine material feeling the graphic and the realism which are expressed well the sound which overflows, will become worse the fun of game and the mote play

- Weak point: The [thyu] toe [li] will freeze and not to be FPS it comes in contact to it is adapted to this [me] ramyon opening initially, it is difficult a little degree?

That can't be from GameSpot.

It's too well-written.
 
I just published 1UP's review -- but it usually takes a couple minutes to show up on the site, so hold tight.

awesome/10.
 
IGN: 9.5 OMG

Presentation
An amazing replay editor, four-player online co-op, map editor, and community support make this the most robust feature set ever in a videogame.
9.0 Graphics
Despite a few moments of slowdown, this is a gorgeous game, especially considering the demands of the replay function. And it's to die for in 1080p.
10 Sound
This is the reason God created Surround Sound. Halo's theme is a futuristic anthem that inspires the troops. The chatter during combat is fantastic.
9.0 Gameplay
There are a few questionable design choices in the campaign, but this series remains the most fun first-person shooter on the planet. Multiplayer and the Forge are fantastic.
10 Lasting Appeal
The campaign won't take you long to complete, but this is a game that can be played for years. There are so many things to do, and it's so much fun to do them.
9.5
Incredible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
