Well this was the first Xbox game I played after purchasing my Xbox. And to tell you, I was shocked at how fun and good looking this game was and played. The controls were perfect, graphics were awesome and everything moved along great. Well let me explain each part of the game I liked.
-Graphics-
I thought they were great and met the Xbox potential quite well. I didnt find much flaws in the graphics at all really. There might be a couple spots in the game that could have been improved if you REALLY look at it, but just playing the game normally you can see the great graphics Halo has.
-Controls-
This is the good part. Halo has amazing controls. The movement of the Master Chief, the gun movement everything. Its all perfect, in campaign, multi-player, everything. If your looking for a shooter with good controls, this is it.
-Sound-
I also loved the sound in this game. The Halo music, is great, its goes along with the game perfectly. They had a great choice of music to put into this game. And the sound effects of the guns, the marines, covenant etc, good.
-Gameplay-
This game is just straight fun. I never got tired of this game. I played the Campaign mode countless times because it made me want to keep playing it after I beat it countless times. Its also more fun playing it on harder difficultes also. The multi-player was insanely fun especially with friends over. It never gets boring.
