Halo is the Xbox game to get. Its exciting gameplay truly changes shooters. Along with that, Halo delivers on style, music, and story.

Halo came out as a launch title for the Xbox, it was the killer app the new console needed. Halo's gameplay is perfect. In shooters, the little details really matter, from the details on the gun to the muzzle flash to the sound of the gun, and halo does it right. Every move you make feels just right. Every thing is balanced in way so you get sucked right into the game. Then, the action takes place. Everything's amped up- the aliens you're fighting are smart, they work together, they use snipers, and they attack with blazing speed. You're on the edge of your seat most of the time in Halo. As well you're given an awesome arsenal to fight with- rifles, snipers, grenades, rocket launchers, plasma weapons. Each weapon is useful in its own way, and they’re all fun. Plasma grenades stick to enemies, needlers follow the target you're shooting. Bottom line- this game is FUN.

Along with that the game is charged with powerful music and nice graphics that compliment the game play. The game progresses amazingly, you do not get bored half way through, nor do you feel rushed. Like I said, the music is powerful, and it really fits the whole setting and feeling of the game. The music also changes depending on the mood and what's happening. As well, Halo has an excellent multiplayer part to it that is great fun. There are plenty of options in multiplayer and it's very exciting. The multiplayer really adds great replay value. Halo is a superb game; it really delivers in all aspects and is plenty of fun.

Pros: Game play, design, levels, weapons, music, multiplayer.
Cons: Not for everyone.
