Advantages: Great Online Play, Good fun with friends

Disadvantages: The game might be a little shot

Halo: one of the best rated first person shooter games of the pre next gen gaming consoles and still remains largely popular.

First thing you are in controll of the master chief a super soldier that has been trained from a child and has been augmented to improve speed power intelligence to basically make him super human. He is fitted in the MJOLNIR mark 2 suit which adds armor and gives him extra speed and power, The suit itself is so powerful that only the "spartans" can use them because of their augmentation they can handle the pressures that the suit puts on the body. The back story to the game comes from the halo novels.

When you first start you go through the basic controlls of moving the cross hair and then the story begins.
You are fighting against the Covenant a race of aliens looking to take over all life in the known universe. The crew encounter a huge disc (which happens to be called halo) and crash land on it finding that it has an atmosphere much like earths.
The crew soon discover that the halo is actually a large weapon and send the master chief on a mission to try and stop the covenant activating the weapon.

Graphics

This was groundbraking graphics when halo first come out now since that has been a few years naturally graphics have progressed into the realm that is HD. This game however does not dissapoint and can make stunning views and very large and gory battles

Sound

The music to this game is composed by Michael Salvatori and Martin O'Donnell, it really expresses the mood and tones of the scenes in the game. The sounds of the weapons are also produced very well.

The game has different difficulty settings so the easiest setting can be played through for the rookies and if you find yourself getting better you can up the difficulty and make it a little more challenging.
It also has a very good multiplayer so when you get together with a group of friends you can have a laugh and battle against each other to see who will become the victor. There is also online multiplayer where you can battle it out with people from all around the world to see if your as skillfull as you think you are.

Overall its a very good game and even when you have completed it you can still have fun with it online or in lan play and it can bring countless hours of entertainment

Summary: Overall good game is good online and Lan play
