Halo: Reach


Steve 10/10
So my first impression of this game was "it could've been better," but that's because I played it and beat it in less then three days and had sleep deprivation. But then I got to fully immerse myself in the game play the second time around and realized just how great this game really is. The graphics are the best this series has to offer, and the game play, while familiar, threw in a couple of twists that kept it refreshing, and as always, "Bungie" delivers with a stupendous multi-player. The thing I loved most about this game is that you start the game knowing exactly how it's going to end but there are moments where it makes you think that it might end otherwise. This game might not be the best game of the year but it is a definite must own.

"Bungie" had told us that they wanted to go all out with their last Halo game. It probably wasn't on the level we all hoped it would be, but it still got a good shot. "Halo: Reach" is a pretty great game. It has great graphics, sweet music, and a cool story. However, it wasn't as different as I hoped it would be. While still plenty of fun, it was quite different enough. But it was the multiplayer that defined this game. It's incredibly addicting and has tons of new ideas and cool giant maps. It may not have been the best Halo game, but it was certainly a great addition to the franchise

My first thought when I saw this game come out, was " Are you kidding me? Another Halo game......" and I refused to play it. After I was convinced to play it, I almost instantly ate my words. The graphics were incredible, and as Steve said, even though you know how the story will end, you end up questioning if it actually will. In previous Halo games, I kind of stopped playing after I finished the campaign, but in Reach, the multiplayer kept calling me back. To me, a lot of it seemed like all the other games, where they copied a bunch of stuff from previous games, and not a whole bunch or originality, but it was still an awesome game.
Logan 9/10
Well I was certainly glad that this would be Bungie's last Halo game after the disappointment from "Halo 3" and it's "spin-offs," little did I know was that this game would be great. "Halo: Reach" is a prologue to all the other Halo games with a more realistic storyline packed into it. The gameplay is second-to-none for other first-person shooter games and the campaign is fun to go through. But what I really have to get credit to is the multiplayer, it's one of the best multiplayers I've seen in any game. Ever.
