Halo is an amazing game. It's no doubt that it is the best game on the Xbox. The Xbox probably wouldn't exist anymore without it. What makes it so good? Read on...
Halo is basically a game that take place in the future where the human race is figting a war against an alien race named the Covenant. The humans are losing badly, and decide to create a mean green fighting machine, who is the hero of this game. He is called Master Cheif(his real name is not mentioned in the game). As Master Cheif, you fight the war against the Covenant, in a desperate effort to save mankind.
This game is great fun. You really get absorbed into the story; The game immerses you in it. Graphics were amazing when the game was released. So much detail was put into them. The music was truly inspiring, and the sound effects were also top notch. The actual gameplay, however, is some of the best around, even today. The game, quite simply, gives new meaning to the word "fun".
As with the GTA series, the only games that will better Halo will be the Halo sequels. This game is a lot of fun, yes, but it really shines when you play it with a friend. The game includes a split screen mode, which provides intense multiplayer. Even better, though, there is a co-op mode!!! Play it with a friend, and you'll be left with lot's of good times, trust me.
By now, I'm sure I've gotten the message across that Halo is a good game. If you haven't played it yet(although that's unlikely), seeing as you're a gamefly member, put it on your que. You'll love it, I promise.
