A great FPS for the xbox
As stated, Halo is a FPS (First Person Shooter), and is a great one at that. It is action packed.
Master Chief has a lot of weaponry to choose from. Throughout the game you will come across two kinds of weapons, these are Human and Covenent type weapons. The human weapons include assault rifles, pistols, and even rocket launchers. The Covenent weapons are a little different, instead of using bullets they shoot out a plasma like energy, and instead of running out of bullets you will deplete the battery inside the gun. The covenent weapons are basically the plasma versions of the Human weapons you can get.
There are also driveable vehicals in the game. Once again there are both human and Covenent vehicals. One of the Human vehicals is the Warthog, which is a souped up Jeep type vehical that has a machinegun mounted in the back, in which the Marines you will encounter on some of your missions can use while you drive. One of the Covenent vehicals is the Banshee, which is a miniature 1-seater flying vehical that is rather cool to use when you can get your hands on one.
The multi-player is one of the most shining aspects of this game, and it is what will keep you coming back for more...so pick this game up if you have an xbox, you won't regret it!
