Very over hyped.
rating: 4.0 out of 10
Detailed rating:
Graphics: 7.0
Story: 2.0 the story suckes, what is more, there is no logical reason to not have real names for main characters (Sarge and Master Chief? give me a break, MS and Gear box can do better then that, its completely devoid of imagination).
Also, this story compares way too much to Half Life 2's for my liking, like they were trying to mooch money from valve by following hl2's equation.
Music: 7.0
the music is fairly good
Replay Value: 3.8
Really, after playing this game, the only cool thing is weaponry.
The multiplayer sucks because of all the noob-pro people that call you a noob when you kill them and all the immaturity.
story line is crappy at worst and a copy of hl2 at best.
really, all in all, this is one to stay away from, go with half life, more mature people in the multi player's, better storyline, more solid background story.
