Amazon.com Review
More often than not, when a game is in development for more than three years, 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-fi first-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 as the Covenant. The aliens have discovered a powerful artifact--on the ring-shaped planet called Halo--that will shift the balance of power, and it's up to the player to stop them. In addition to several first-person-shooter levels, the game offers numerous opportunities to engage in vehicular combat. Both the enemy and allied artificial intelligence are extremely impressive. Enemies will use the terrain and layout to put you in tight spots. Allies will know when to cover and aid you. For instance, if you hop into a jeep, an ally will know to jump in and man the turret on the back of it. The graphics are exquisitely detailed, but only move at 30 frames per second rather than 60. The sound effects and voice acting are superb. The level design is among the best ever; most of the game is engaging and challenging without being frustrating. There's also high replay value thanks to the built-in single-player, cooperative, and deathmatch modes. Much like the outstanding GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64, Halo raises the bar for console first-person shooters. All console action games will be 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, a 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.

 Halo: Combat has Evolved October 2, 2008
Carl W. Brown
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.
This could very well be the best launch game ever. September 28, 2008

September 29, 2007 - Man where do I start with Halo I have so many great memorys playing this game ,the first time I seen the game in motion I was just blown away by how great the graphics and sound where and also seeing the enemys and the friendly AI fighting back and forth it was amazing,Halo has been out for a while now but to be honest this is my favorite xbox game ever.
I just beat Halo3 and I had the urge to play threw the Halo series again so I went and I got me a copy of the game,the best part about Halo is the AI your enemys have Bungie has some of the best programmers in the world and the AI in the game for its time was groundbreaking.The enemys will flank you they will run for cover if you toss a bomb at you and they also do things like yell out commandes to other bad guys.
The game also has some of the best graphics of last generation,for the longest time it was the best looking FPS to hit a console last generation.The world Bungie made is fantastic its a ring world that is called Halo and it fills like earth but also at the same time it feels very alien the world its self is very imersive.
The game also has the best multiplayer to hit a console since Goldeneye,the game supported up to 16 people and it has some of the best maps made and the modes are fantastic also.They range from CTF all the way to team Death match.
If you have a xbox and you have not bought this game you really should you really dont know what you are missing out of.
 The best of the series September 22, 2008

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.
What can I say? August 19, 2008

Great Game and a Record Breaking Champion. It also runs on the 360 System!!!
Released in Early 2004. Halo Combat Evolved broke records like a bear walking on twiggs. Setting the new standard for both Platform and Computer First Person Shooters. Halo was a huge success. Bungie was raking in the money and awards.
Based in the Future where a war with an alien religious coalition known as the Covenant. the war goes bad and mankinds only hope is a cyborg warrior known as Master Chief. Halo enters you into a world of amazing detail and epic battles. Follewed by Halo 2 and The Most Anticipated Game Ever, Halo 3.
And as i said. Halo and Halo 2 Xbox Games Run on the Xbox360 System. Its original 480 Pixals will be upgraded to 720p High-Def on the 360.
