Halo: Reach

This is one of the best Halos. With the addition of armor abilities it made this one of the best multiplayers. With beautiful art and impactful story it was an amazing goodbye from Bungie.

"Halo Reach" takes place about a month before the events of "Halo Combat Evolved" where the planet Reach is under attack by the Covenant Empire.

I've played other Halo games before (Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3), but this is the only Halo game I own. And it's awesome. The campaign is good. I like how it shows what happened before the first game and shows you how those events led to the defeat of the Covenant (as we see in Halo 3).

The graphics are great, the A.I. is actually really good, and the voice actors are pretty good. Also, multiplayer and Firefight are awesome, especially with being able to drive warthogs, ghosts, etc.

Also, no Halo game is complete without its amazing music. The theme music delivers that "war tone" feeling you would want in a game like this and the other games in the series. I also liked playing co-op campaign with either other people or just with a buddy.

Overall, "Halo Reach" is a great game, one of my favorites, and I give it an "A+". By the way, I also play "Call of Duty". I'm saying this, because I know there are a lot of people who play Halo and don't like COD, or vice versa.

I just beat the game after 4 hours so granted, game play is not long but what Bungie did was condense over a dozen hours of tedious "busy work" missions and BS into just several hours of pure excellence--which is what I'd rather have than an empty but long game. The plot was genius and incorporated everything from previous Halo games in a sophisticated, implicit manner that felt like it merged perfectly with this game. Online multi-player is also fantastic with new add-ons like active cameo, sprint, jet pack, bubble shield, etc. (I love jet pack). Also the graphics and physics engine are impeccable and bring both multi-player and campaign alive with realistic, open environments. I bought the game today (9/18) after an extensive debate between preordering CoD Black Ops or buying Reach as I was on a budget. I am so happy that I chose Reach and do not regret it for a second. I know I won't get bored with this game for months to come.

Well, wow, i'm doing a review of this game... and i don't like it. At all. No matter what anyone says, the critically acclaimed Halo series only had 2 good games , Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo O.D.S.T. If you want to know why i like those games and none of the other games of the series, just check those out on I.M.D.B for my review on those games. Really, i think they got too full of themselves, and wanted to give the player, TOO MUCH. That's the HUGE issue with this game. Too much unnecessary bullshit that pubescent boys like to use online. The campaign is just downright awful, really, one of the worst storyline that an acclaimed title can give. Really? Did they just think that going online is the only thing that matters to gamers? Well, for the most part, yes and no. You complete things like beating the game on legendary to unlock some armor, but that's it. but my point is, even if i wanted to, i still couldn't grasp the meaning of the game. Overall, i think that this is once again a ridiculous add-on to the series of games. 5/10

My best friend and I have always been Halo fans and this new game once again reminds us why. In true Halo form, the graphics are amazing. They draw the player into the game and enhance the experience.

We love the multi-player and ranks, plus the game has really good music. This game seriously has everything – good campaign, forge and tons of fun game types.

I honestly think that you are missing out if you don't play this! Yes, it is another Halo – but it is the beginning of the story! Of course you can read it online, but it's definitely not the same as playing it and seeing it all unfold.
