First-Person shooter fans will find a lot to like here. Halo's story is unique enough to be worthy of a look all by itself. Bungie's wonderful handling of the story only makes it that much better. The number of weapons in your immediate arsenal has been reduced so as to change the emphasis from charging into confrontations to a more deliberate and strategic weapon management unlike anything seen outside of FPS military simulations. Enemy AI and in-game physic is some of the most realistic you'll find in a video game today.

For multiplayer fans, Halo will offer a decent time as long as you have the players to make for a heated playing session. Though many levels are suited for two players, four, six and perhaps eight players will make for a better time. Halo's two-player cooperative mode is one of the best out there and well worth a look.

Xbox fans already own this game so there is no need to tell them to purchase it.

Parents should also take note that this title is rated Mature. The game is quite gory featuring body deformities, heavy blood spilling and other imagery that may be too much for younger audiences.
