only thing bad is its an old game but thats not really a factor for me
Rating: - Great Game!
This is a great game with lots of action but its pretty hard to play on the keyboard, so be sure to get some sort of controller. there is lots of action and you dont even need a $70 video card to play because you can click on safe mode. have fun with it!
Rating: - Fun for teenagers
I bought this game for my 13 year old son who played it with his 9 year old cousin all summer long. He loves to go on line or just on the computer and play this game. He plays it every chance he can.
Rating: - Halo didn't fulfill my expectations
I remember the big hype about Halo, when it was released. I would have bought it right away if my machine had fufilled the minimum requirements. Lucky me, I had to wait until now and could get the game for a low price. Here is why:
The graphics are not great. Even for the time Halo was released, the textures are not too detailed and the landscape looks like cut from cardboard. Unreal did almost as well in 1998. The story is good enough with three parties, each stiving to achieve their own goals. Also, the use of vehicles makes the game some fun. But the rather lame and very linear construction of the levels don't live up to the possibilities.
Multiplayer might be great with MODs, otherwise it is just slow and boring.
It was ok for 10 bucks, but I recommend to get something better (e.g. Far Cry, Max Payne).
