Halo: Combat Evolved (2001 Video Game)
9/10
A great time spent playing Halo.
25 December 2009
Upon it's release Halo was recognized as the the best game for the Xbox mainly because it offers good graphics, great gunplay, good story, and a great protagonist. The first thing that I really like about this game is the music and sound especially when you're in the games menu listening to this attractive music that sounds like it was sung by a church choir. When your amidst a battle, the music will get wilder and louder but that's one of the reasons why you will enjoy the game more. I didn't play Halo on the Xbox and I didn't really catch the real experience but it was more than exceptional on the PC. There are hardly any dull moments in Halo because there are battles fought around you and when there are no battles, there is the story. That reminds me to tell you about the world of Halo but first I am going to talk about Masterchief. He is a Spartan who maintains peace and protects planet earth from enemies such as the Grunts, Jackles, Elites, and Hunters. He hardly talks and you can never see his face in the game, not even a one second glimpse. His body is covered in armor which has defense shields that recharge every time it is fired upon.

After being marooned one the ancient ring world called Halo, you lead an uprising against the Covenant, an alien species bent on exterminating mankind, and then you fall into something bigger than the Covenant. You have to rely on yourself and your A.I. friend, Cortana, and escape from Halo.

The graphics are pretty impressive for a game that was made 8 years ago and you will find yourself awing as you look behind you and see the ring Halo. One of the main points in this game is the story and it affects the game a lot because without story whats the point in playing. The gunplay is unique and very different from games such as Deus Ex, Half-Life, and Farcry. The enemies are smart and will kill you by any means. Some of the enemies are easy while some, like the Hunters or Elites, are very difficult and you have to find your way around it without blowing yourself up. Overall the game is pretty impressive and if you have time go play it and enjoy!
