Wow, so a 9.7 game goes all the way down to an 8.0 for its remake? Then again, that's not so shocking as Sonic Adventure, a 9.2, going all the way down to 5.7 for its GC port. Cloud_765

Solid score. I picked it up today. It's a very faithful reproduction of Halo CE. A great fanservice.

Overhyped? They could've pulled a Hancock and put up ads on the moon and it would'nt have been too much, this is Halo we're talking about.

Ocarina of Time ain't ten years old, bro, it's thirteen.

agreed. I certainly didn't expect AAA for it. Hell, I'm surprised it got reviewed at all. I'm loving it, but it is one of my favorite series, so no big shock.

Resistance 1+2+3 < ODST

Spartan070

ODST had Halo 3 MP + 3 maps. Halo 3 got a 9.5, half of the game is MP so that means MP alone was 4.75 and ODST got a 9 so subtract the 4.75 out of 9 and you get 4.25, but because it adds 3 additional maps you add 3 more points so the total comes out to 7.25 which gamespot would round to either 7 or 7.5

I'll try replaying it some time... After my rage is over at all the bugs I seen in the game the first 30 mins I played. Really can't stand the elite glitch... Where they just stand there. Seen 6 of them doing that on the first level alone. Then the AI for the marines seems way worse then I remember. They don't even talk as much and only heard them say 3 differnent things out of like the 5-6 things I remember hearing them say. I get pop in with the graphics even when it's installed. 3D is a head ache litterally. All the 3D I seen and played... not once did I get a head ache. The jags and horrible res = eye bleeding 3D effects. There was delays in sound as well. Killed an elite and 3 seconds later it did it's death audio. First impressions mean alot and I feel like they really drop the ball on this remaster/remake. I would give it a 6 and slap a $15-$20 price on it.

Oh I remember the days of the original Halo...Must have played that campaign 10 times through one after another, and co-op with my brother a few times as well.

And then we moved into LAN parties with the Xbox system link, and had big 8v8 sessions spread out throughout this one guys house with little groups in their own rooms. It was sooooo funny to hear someone yell, or cheer in the house when something exciting happened.

Basically throughout the entire generation I played that game with friends, and had the campaign going.

It's one of few games I'd give a perfect 10 to for just bringing hundreds of hours worth of enjoyment, and dozens upon dozens of friends together (I met a ton of people through Halo years and years ago that are still my friends today). I can't wait to get my hands on the remake.

I believe the plan is to have a big 360 Halo LAN party this Christmas holiday when a friend is in town. We have like six or so 360s ready to go, and a handful of big screen TVs, and some computer monitors as well. It'll be one glorious Christmas that's for sure.

Oh don't get me wrong. I like the series and this game included. I just felt it was the culmination of all the annoyances I had with all the other games in one package. And the 30 minute cutscenes and 20 plot twists didn't help either. :P

Time and/or getting a review copy.

They can't review every game (obviously), so maybe they just didn't have time when those other collections released.

OR it's possible that Sony didn't send Gamespot a free copy of those games.

I'm surprised it scored so highly. FPS's have moved on since the original Halo came out, so 80% or 8/10 seems like quite a good score. I personally wouldn't buy the game as I think the halo series is actually terrible, and the repetitiveness of the later stages of Halo are too mind numbing to have to sit through again.

Why is anything reviewed? Because a significant number of people will want to buy it, and they'll want to know it's not completely broken or something.
