    I love Halo's reach. It was the first game I saw in my life. Honestly, I'm pretty sure many have some critics due to art style and music but it's better than Halo 4-5 art.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure many have some critics due to art style and music but it's better than Halo 4-5 art. Halo was about how Master Chief and Cortana discovered the Halo array and also discovered a bigger threat than the Covenant. But Halo Reach was different. At the time I thought Halo was about Humanity fighting a losing war but yes, it is part of Halo. But this one is different, this game shows the reality of the War. Not all Spartans are almost invisible as the Master Chief. NOBLE Team's death was ironic. Because why? First, Jorge who loved Reach died when sacrificed himself to destroy a Covenant ship but died in Space instead on Reach, Kat the brain of the team got shot through the brain, Carter the Captain (Commander) of the team goes down with the ship, Emile who loves getting Covenant kills gets stabbed but takes the killer along with him. Noble Six, the lone wolf died fighting alone. But Jun the sniper, on the other hand, decided to take distance and survived. Overall, it was basically Rogue one but better. Noble six who is you, the player, played a major role who helped Cortana and the Chief escape Reach which led to the story from Halo 1-3 we love today. I understand those who hate Reach had readed the Fall of Reach novel since it didn't really tied with the novel. Some had critics that many characters died. But they are such a noobies who doesn't know story telling. Noble six was the protagonist for this game but wasn't THE main protagonist of the franchise.… Expand

    This game is not bad at all. I have no negative thoughts. I have no idea about what people mean when they say thrown together. How am I supposed to know the meaning? I can't understand. I will not type more words.

    For me, this is the best Halo game history. My only complain is about the motion blur on gameplay.

    Halo: Reach is a good example of how a First person shooter should be made. The gunplay is solid, fun and gripping; what is the most important part of a FPS. In addition, the game is challenging due to different kinds of enemies that we'll have to face in different ways and the difficulty of the game in general, so strategy will be something that we'll hve to take into account.

    About the story, this time we've a prequel of the franchise, so it is a good way to introduce ourselves to this saga if we had not given a try before. Plot and characters do not disappoint, so we have a very enjoyable campaign mode. However, It's quite short, so we'll not end satisfied enough in the end. The variety of weapons is not big at all neither. So, that might feel a bit repetitive.
    Online mode is a good way to keep playing this game. It's a gamemode that stands out in the Halo franchise and It's competitive and gripping.
    To sum up, Halo is still a great FPS and one of the best Xbox franchises. However, I really miss more content.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having never played Halo before I had high expectations from this game and it exceeded all of them. The first mission is nothing special, it does a good job explaining the mechanics and controls of the game. As the game goes on it gets better and better, I really started loving this game halfway during the game. The characters are all well-written and distinctive. After Jorge dies and you see Noble-6 even lonelier than before you start understanding him more as a character. The game play is much different than other modern shooters. It is much more open than COD and other shooters which gives the campaign more replayability. My favorite mission was Lonewolf. The multiplayer was pretty good compared to other Halos but not better than 2 or 3. The multiplayer introduces sprint, and spartan abilities, i did not mind sprint and I thought that the spartan abilities were pretty fun and made the gameplay more varied.… Expand

    The final Halo videogame from Bungie, and what a way to finish. The story is a prequel to Halo:Combat Evolved and brings us to the planet Reach in which a group of brave Spartans try to save the planet fighting the terrible Covenant. An UNFORGETTABLE VIDEOGAME.

    Good co-op experience. Was never really thrilled with the story. Multiplayer is fun but similar to other Halo games. Recommend you try it out if you have enjoyed other Halo games but not a must-play for me.

    A downgrade from the rest of the series regarding the art design and characters. Otherwise a solid shooter.

    A classic among FPS with the story of a lone wolf being thrusted in a fireteam to deliver a package and protect humanities last hope. Gun fire grips one in a playground filled with covenant forces to stop you. Do not fret tough the ost will keep you in high spirits or make you feel as if you've lost a loved one.

    If you loved all the other Halo games, there's little I can say to dissuade you from purchasing Bungie's last creation in the Halo series.

    Halo: Reach is not a breakthrough, yet it's a clear showcase of Bungie's creative growth. The game is hardly a "must buy" – its single-player campaign is way too short and uneven in quality, while multiplayer has very little room for expansion besides map packs and useless character decorations. But with that said, Reach is worthy of your attention for a couple of evenings.
