User Rating: 9.8 | Halo (Xbox Collection) XBOX
I've had a PS2 for years and just recently bought the XBox, primarily becuase I of all the great games that are coming out only on PC and XBox (Half-Life 2, Doom 3, and Deus Ex: Invisible War are the main ones). So of course I had to get Halo as my first XBox game. This is by far the best FPS I've ever played and it's also one of the best games ever made in my opinion. Everything that makes a game good, Halo has it in spades. For example, how many other people who've played Halo found themselves throwing Master Chief off of a bridge at the end of a sub-level just to replay that same level again becuase it was so fun. In most shooters I get frustrated when I die and have to repeat a section--here I was killing myself just to be able to do so! I've never played a game where I did that before, no matter how much I liked it. And of course the graphics and sound are unbef***inlievable. The best compliment I can pay the AI is to say that it is better than Half-Life's in my opinion. Anyway, all I can say is that despite the fact that the reason I bought the XBox was for the PC games mentioined above, which I'm sure will all be great, if I could only buy one of those games or Halo 2, it'd be Halo 2. -Andrew P.
