Occasionally excellently repetitive
Great game, very fun to play, play is tight and enjoyable, AI is very good, love the music and the graphics aren't bad.
Unfortunately, in the middle of the game there is a long segment of repetitiveness, and it feels like your just slogging through the same enemies over and over again. If they took out the majority of that part it would be perfect. Rating:

This is it? We wait for TWO years and this is all you can give us!?
Halo, the game is one of the main reasons the xbox did so well on the console market. All I have ever heard from most of my friends was "halo, halo 2..," so when I finally get my hands on the PC version of the game, I thought that I was going to be in for one of the most extreme and best experiences in game history. That's not really what happened.
Graphics. This game is showing its age, it was made in 2001!
Sound. This sound is amazing, the sound director certainly did his job.
Gameplay. Ahh, well, yes the AI does give you a great experience, it wears off quickly, it's not helped by the fact that the levels are very repetitive. The enemies you fight are either the Covanent or the Flood, that's it, 9 different enemies. Well the gameplay was not everything I was told.
Plot. Great story, nothing more to be said.
Multiplay. Yeah, its fun, but it doesn't live up to my expectations from the 6th best game of all time.
Replay. You may decide to occasionally hop into multiplayer, or play the campaign with a friend, but that is it.
Sorry, Halo fans, but on the PC, halo doesn't really hold up to the high expectation, especially when it was released two years after the xbox version. It would have faired better if it was released at the same time.
On the PC, halo is crushed by opposition like Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, and Medal of Honor. That concludes the review, I am going to go play Unreal Tournament 2004.
Graphics 5/10
Sound 10/10
Gameplay 7/10
Plot 9/10
Multiplay 7/10
Replay 6/10
Stability: On the second to last level I experienced some serious graphical corruption, and after that the game messed up by graphics driver
Overall 6/10 - Passable (Sorry) Rating:

watch out
I bought this game because my friend said it was sweet so i gave it a try. i downloaded it on my computer and it worked well but after about a week it woorked for about 10 min then it shut off my computer. if you are going to play halo 1,2or 3 get it for xbox or xbox 360. Rating:

Better than the Xbox version...
The title says it all. I think this PC version is better because with a easily found internet mod, Halo can be played entirely in 3rd person view instead of the first person view. I love Halo in the 3rd person view...Halo is a very fun game if you like FPS (or TPS). Has multiplayer and a decent single player campaign. My only discrepencies are that some of the multiplayer maps are very small in size. |
