Halo Anniversary gets a 8 on GS.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]I don't get how this can score lower than the original? It even has upgraded graphics. But somehow I knew this was going to happen. Stupid reviewers.sts106mat

its about fair i reckon, the game doesn't deserve a 9 or a 10 just because its halo. the game is great fun, but you can see some of the old school level design being an issue for some. it is a 10 year old game updated, with sound and graphics. if it was a brand new game released today without anyone ever hearing of halo, i reckon it would still deserve an 8 - 8.5.

I don't care what you paid for it. I said I wanted my $30 back when I first played it. Then you gave me a rash a crap that the game is $40... Then I show you what I got it for ($30) and then go on about OMG I got it cheaper then you. I don't care. Game doesn't play like the Xbox version on the XBox. It plays like a POS recoded game with alot of bugs that arn't in the xbox version when played on the xbox. All I know is I see things that I never seen happen in the xbox version and I don't need a fanboy telling me it plays the same when I know it doesn't. Your not gonna get a game running a 100% emulated, then with extra crap piled onto it like skulls and kinect junk.Truth_Hurts_U

To be fair, it's not emulated. Thus the gameplay is exactly the same, which also means no new bugs are going to pop up.

They also left in the infamous old bugs on purpose.

Standards and all that.

Imagine Space Invaders had a 90 Metacritic score upon original release. It'd hardly score the same today.

Extreme example but it's the same principle. Issues come to light that were as apparent back in the day or were simply ignored because they were looked upon as insignificant.

Today games have advanced tenfold so those same issues are inexcusable when stood next to recent releases.

Oh no graphics. This proves that graphics own the industry. Story falls at the wayside, which is a shame. But this isn't just Halo, but all of the other dumb remasters and upgrades. So don't buy these games at full retail. We don't like these schemes. Right?LOXO7

I...I just can't let that slide...

Halo story > any other FPS series story, this is still debatable?

From a level 51? Wow...

This game runs on the exact engine, exact coding that the original did. Emulated, seriously? :roll:

Kinect? Link for proof?

Delusional or halucinating much?
