But damn, Halo instantly changed my mind! With Halo: CE Microsoft/ Bungie created an incredible Masterpiece! If it's the Gameplay, the breathtakeing Soundtrack or the interesting story about the Humans and the Covenant finding the ancient Halo ring. Nearly everything in this game is incredible in my eye's! The only critic i have about Halo: CE is that some sections of the game seems drawn out and a bit repetitive. But besides of that, i really can recommend everyone to play Halo: CE, it's an really incredible game that aged really well in the almost 20 years since it's release!… Expand

    This game is so Boring and repetitive. I dont know how people like it. Maybe if you play this game in the 80's it would be a 6/10 note.

    It was the reason why many of us bought the first xbox. Its gameplay, music and history they catch you from the first moment.

    One of the most influental and fun shooters of all time. The graphics, music, characters, style, controls, world, everything!

    The level design gets a bit repetitive though.

    Halo: Combat Evolved by Bungie redefines the FPS genre. From its cutting-edge graphics and remarkable animations, down to the action-packed campaign—build upon one of the smartest A.I. systems of our time—and the thrill-giving multiplayer that System Link made possible.

    I really enjoyed and loved the story. However, the maps were all a reskin of the last. There was like three different locations, and then everything else was a clone of the last. This was an old Xbox game, so I guess too much can't be expected. But that is the only problem I had with the game. The game was just rinse and repeat. But the combat was still fun.

    The game that got me onboard with the Xbox console and the FPS genre. The game is a master piece. From it's graphically fidelity that was limited to 64 GB of RAM, to it's iconic musical score, to it's engaging single player campaign, to it's transcendent multiplayer set up.

    Halo is the GoldenEye of its time. It is an absolute must-play title, bar none.

    Halo. The first game i ever played on the original Xbox and it was truly revolutionizing. In terms of gameplay, there were already plenty of FPS action games at the time.

    Halo: Combat Evolved still a game best played with friends. Had a great time powering through this one, its been a while since I've finished the whole thing in a night. Found a bunch of glitches. It having been a launch title for the original Xbox it holds up pretty well still. I'm really glad they changed Cortana's design in newer games even though I love purple.

    When you finally set down the controller the first time, and eventually hunger or exhaustion do force all of us to take a break, Halo has pulled you completely into its world and started one of the best sci-fi gaming adventures of all time.
