Halo I know there has been a lot of halo reviews out and this one isn’t any different. I give the facts on the game not on my taste. Personally I don’t enjoy “space type” games. They usually are difficult with poor game play. But Halo is totally different. With it’s outstanding sound, game play, and, graphics, it is one hell of a game. Sound: through out the whole game there is sound.(Duh)Sometimes the sound influences the way you play the game. In Halo the sound is incredible. There is a sound for every gun, grenade, and explosion. The sound works with the graphics to enhance the gamers environment. When the music starts to get faster the gamer plays with more intense and when it gets slower you tend to relax. Halo does just that. The sound in this game reflects on how much work the creator put into it. Sound Rating: 9.5 Graphics: While playing Halo you sometimes lose yourself in the graphics. I haven’t seen a game that has put so much into graphics while still having great game play. From the detailed opponents to the falling snowflakes these graphics are great. Graphics Rating: 9.6 Game play: It’s that simple Halo is just a great game. The levels are not to hard but most important not to easy. The levels are divided in to sublevels with titles to tell the gamer what’s going on. The levels are not only long but interesting. There is only a few parts where you could predict what was going to happen next. One thing that halo has that not to many other games has is unlimited lives. Most people see infinite lives as too easy. Halo must know that some gamers get very frustrated when you get up to your last level and die. The idea was not only clever but it worked. One downfall to halo’s game play is there is only 9 levels. That would only be my only suggestion is to make more levels for this game. One thing that I couldn’t forget is the vehicles. There are 2 human vehicles and 2 alien ones. The names are the warthog, scorpion, ghost, and banshee. This game play is just plain great. Game Play Rating: 9.8                                        -Chris
