This is game is the only reason i bought my xbox. If you were a fan of the legendary Goldeneye on 64, then this is what you have been waiting for. Story line is complex and fantastic. Some people don't get down with the whole sci-fi alien stomping madness but i promise you will re-consider on this game. Game play is the best of it's genre. Several options are open to you when it comes to how you want to kill your prey, from several different weapons, melee attacks and throwing grenades which is fluidly executed with ease. multiplayer cannot be matched on this game as well. co-op to team up with your friend against the alien forces or go play some death match with 3 other xboxes to get up to 16 players. the look of the game is incredibly real, too. The only thing i can say bad about this game is that its not online compatible. i dare anyone to say anything else bad about this game.

story line-8 you'll get into it
game play-10 you'll see what i mean when you play
replay-9 the game is so big and so awesome
look-9 looks pretty real to me
multiplayer-10 infinite hours of fun with friends

overall-9.2

For a first person shooter, this game has such variety. With rideable vehicles, intelligent aliens, numerous guns, smooth controls and lush beautiful graphics, this game is Awesome!

The only complaint I had was; the main character had a flashlight with a 30 second battery power. This left me stumbling in the darkness with aliens that can see fine. Ok, we're in the space-age with a suit that can deflect plasma rifle blasts; sorry a battery powered flashlight is too much to ask - come on :(

Having voiced my complaint, the fact that you didn't have to graduate to a better gun every several levels made for so much more fun.
Picking up alien weapons and grenades added to the realistic (if it were possible) experience of a space war.

Alien dialogs were humorous and intelligent.

Thank you Bungie for such a winner.
