So last gen i did not own a Xbox, so i never got to really play Halo 1 and Halo 2. And when i did get to play it, it was at a friends house so i never really got into it or thought much of it! I always told people Halo is not that great just another standard Fps with a interesting story!

Last year i traded my last gen console for a Xbox 360 and decided to pick up copies of Halo 1 and Halo 2 to see what all the fuss is about..........but i never played then intill now!!! As of 2 nights ago i have started the fight and today i finished the first chapter (Halo 1)! And Wow what a great game! Even thou its several years old and i have played games like Gears of Wars, Halo is still a blast!

My quick review of Halo 1!!!

Gameplay - Great! A nice mix of run and gun and vehicles missions! Also a good variety of weapons and foes especially towards the end! And nice big open environments! The only down side is you get a big sense of deja vu with the levels repeating then selves over and over again in some spots but its not that big a deal!

Story - One word "brilliant" Halo takes you one a rollercoaster ride from start to finish and leaves you wanting more!!!

Sound - Sound is good all round but the musical score is perfect bringing power and emotion to bring the story to life!

Graphics - You know when you play a game like Gears of War and then you go back and play a game like Golden Eye 64 which you use to think looked good but after playing gears, golden eye just looks like garbage now! Well i thought that might be the same with Halo 1 but i was wrong! For its day halo is a pretty good looking game even today! I mean its no gears but its not bad either!

Overall - Halo is unique experience that everyone should try at least once and should also have the honor of being one of the best games ever made!!!

Now im off to play Halo 2

The war has begin!!!
