    • Best Halo ever, i played Halo Reach like 7 times already...never get tired of it!!

    • if you love halo and don't like this, go somewhere, if you have never played halo, pick this up, and be ready to have one of the best gaming experiences you'll get this year.
    • Campaign was also pretty well done, it is a darker Halo game, but great story and an ending to remember!
    • As far as story goes, Halo jumped the shark when it was revealed The Little Shop of Horrors controls all the flood and Reach continues that nosedive
    • Now enough of the specifics, my favorite thing to do and most spent with is the Halo Reach Xbox Live
    • Halo Reach is Challenging.
    • Halo 3 (and the newly released, as of 11/2012, Halo 4) are considered more enjoyable online experiences to most hardcore Halo enthusiasts

    • Halo 2 was choppy and under-developed
    • If you like Halo, go get it
    • Purists will argue with me, but I've played every Halo and never really loved it or got into the universe.
    • Perhaps all of these are relevant, but I believe the real reason Halo Reach disappoints on some levels (despite being a beautiful looking game with classic Halo gameplay) is it feels too much like a knock-off rather than a send-off.
    • i think a great halo game would be a combination of team fortress 2,& unreal tournament, (for dreamcast, greatest system ever
    • If you like halo and like multiplayer this is a good purchase.
    • For me, Bungies Halo series (not counting Ensemble's still excellent Halo Wars) have always had distinctive, varied and free flowing combat I love, but Reach is really the pinnacle of that Bungie unique brand of FPS combat
    • Halo fans, like myself, felt compelled to see the story end and begin anew similar to watching the end of Episode III of the Star Wars saga.
    • Great GraphicsGreat funGreat gameNothing really further to say other than its the best Halo of the franchise.
    • I bought Reach opening night, and can now say after beating single player and spending several hours with friends on multiplayer that Bungie finally got back to what originally made Halo great and so fun to play.
    • The original Halo is a good, solid game, while Halo 4 is only good for collecting dust on a shelf after it is played through to the end once on Legendary.
    • So, if all you want is the classic Halo experience be prepared to have to endure tons of annoying and poorly conceived Juggernaut and Infection game modes instead of being able to play what you actually
    • If you like Halo, you're probably going to like this.
    • Halo 4 has since come out.y friends begged me saying the same thing" this ones different I swear
    • I played Halo 2 on Live a few times, but the trash talking turned me off of that forever, so I've always liked the Halo games for the story.
    • I have been a Halo fan for many years, Halo Reach does not disappoint at all
    • I haven't played Live yet, but I'm sure it's well worth it too (although nothing can top Halo 2).
    • I had recently gotten an XBox 360 primarily for Gears of War Two due to the fact that the game looks as though it will not be hitting the P.C.Well, there is obviously the decision pertaining to other platformers like Halo and with that being said I had purchased Halo 3 lost in the moment not being bothered with Halo, H2 or ODST
    • -The new armor system-Upgraded Forge ModeBasically Halo Reach takes the best of every Halo game and combines it for a unique experience that you will never want to put down
    • And Halo 3 was really just a refinement of everything ever enjoyed about the first two, plus new guns and new vehicles

    • we all loved halo 3 but this game, in spite of being good, will never be as good as its predecessor
    • It caused slight damage to my disc drive on my 360 and ruined my Halo 3 and MW3 discs.

    • It's a must for any die-hard Halo
    • Basically, if you enjoy Halo this game will not disappoint
    • Halo Reach is lauded as the best Halo of the series by critics and fans alike.
    • Also, the DMR, the new BR, is more like the infamous Halo
    • but for me it just felt like bungie took halo 3 and souped it up by changing graphics and weapons and making it Halo
    • I then went on Amazon and found Halo reach used in "Like New" condition for under $20.
    • This is good given a good percentage of the 12 maps are classic Halo maps or remakes.
    • Weekly Challenge, which is always something that either takes a full week to complete (such as "Complete X amount of Daily Challenges this week") or something that is very difficult and requires additional players (like "Complete X Campaign Mission with 'LASO' (Legendary difficulty, All Skulls On)).To summarize, Reach stands as one of 2010's biggest games and holds its value to this day as the best damn Halo game that Bungie has made
    • (Halo 3 looked more like Halo 2 and Halo
    • Pretty good game, I liked Halo 3 better, though.
    • Pretty good game, I liked Halo 3 better, though.
    • but not like Halo 4!
    • well, let's just say that it wasn't as good as Halo 3 or CE in my opinion, but it still is enjoyable and I loved the elements of Bungie going back to the style of Combat Evolved with the health bar back and some of the classic weapons
    • Halo is awesome, especially this title
    • With Halo: Reach, the bottom line is simple: If you love Halo, you WILL love this game, a LOT, and if you hate Halo, it won't convert you into a fan
    • I loved Halo 3's multiplayer, but I barely touched this game.
    • With Halo: Reach, the bottom line is simple: If you love Halo, you WILL love this game, a LOT, and if you hate Halo, it won't convert you into a fan
    • I'm a die hard Halo 1 & 3
    • My best Halo memories come from this game, period.
    • and this game dose not work halo 3 odst halo reach dose not work you sold me two sorry ass games

    • Halo 3, and Halo 4 both take big floppy ding dong slaps to the face of Halo Reach
    • Weekly Challenge, which is always something that either takes a full week to complete (such as "Complete X amount of Daily Challenges this week") or something that is very difficult and requires additional players (like "Complete X Campaign Mission with 'LASO' (Legendary difficulty, All Skulls On)).To summarize, Reach stands as one of 2010's biggest games and holds its value to this day as the best damn Halo game that Bungie has made
    • Halo 1 is still my favorite in the series and probably always will be, but of all of the subsequent entries, Reach comes the closest to matching its awesome radness
    • I can say that this is the best Halo game I've played, and I look forward to continue playing online
    • I play alot of fps's and for some reason I just can't have fun playing halo.
    • If you've ever been intrigued or just thought Halo looked like fun but didn't know if it was worth it, this is definitely the Halo game to buy
    • First let me preface this by saying this is the best Halo since the original Halo and possibly better than Halo 2 as far as fun and enjoyment
    • I love Halo
    • If you love halo you already own this game
    • This game delivered an almost perfected formula for fun halo multiplayer, but I felt the game was lacking where halo games thrived: the story
    • Halo 3 was good
    • But coupled with that memory of my first time finding the flood in that subterranean prisoon, or realizing Halo's real purpose, is the real reason Halo was so popular to so many
    • People have created racing games, chess, and even a Halo skeeball-like game.
    • My personal favorite Halo game in the entire series
    • Awesome Halo game
    • I've not yet had the chance to play Halo 4, but this is easily the best Halo game out there
    • These changes, aside from not being new at all, sound a lot like simply patching a game - not something you would expect from the "Best Halo Evar!" as claimed by many reviewers before me.-Another gripe about the weapons: it appears in an effort to "balance" the weapons, Bungie has only succeeded in making it so every weapon sucks except the DMR.
    • Halo 2 was pretty good
    • Adding the infamous Halo 2 handgun is pretty much all any Halo-franchise fan needs to know
    • A really fun game, with one of the best Halo campaigns.
    • Bungie has marketed the Halo Reach as the end to the successful and long Halo franchise that has made Xbox 360 a popular choice for gamers
    • and if you like Halo, I highly suggest this!
    • overall its the best halo yet
    • Allowing players to vote on game modes was great, but Halo is overdue for the ability to search for games based on type.
    • I prefer Halo 3 ODST over Halo Reach because it did not mess around with the cannon like Reach did and ODST had better story as well as better characters that you can connect
    • Really the only thing that needs to be said is that if you like Halo 1, then you will love this game
    • If you love HALO, you owe it to yourself to buy this game
    • By now most gamers know whether or not they love or hate Halo
    • but Bungie really messed this game up.now for the good news, Bungie has left Halo for good and 343 Studios is now in charge of
    • This is hands down the best halo game yet
    • After Halo 2, this is my favorite Halo game
    • This is definitely the best Halo yet
    • Loved the first and second Halo for the riviting storyline but the creators fell short on this game
    • I hadn't played Halo 3 in months because I was bored with it
    • It's the best looking, most fluid and all-around solid Halo to date
    • cutter!For those that love Halo, and still love playing, Reach is for you
    • Bungie delivered the ultimate sendoff for the beloved Halo franchise
    • The rest of the campaign is classic Halo fun for the most part
    • 4 stupid and lame like halo reach!
    • Best halo ever
    • But if you're one of the few still on the fence?Reach provides what might be the best Halo experience to date
    • the only thing is that halos sever is kinda slow so you dont know when its going to stop for matchmaking sometimes not all the time though
    • For Halo fans who enjoy the mythology of the Halo series, this story will not dissapoint.
    • The thing I like most coming from playing alot of COD online is there are no Killstreaks (I know Halo has never had rewards
    • This is why Halo was so great, and people forget that
    • Eh, not the best halo
    • Great game love halo
    • First, if you hated Halo 3 or just found it absolutely boring, you can pretty much skip Reach
    • Its also the easiest Halo ever
    • but I think I'll stick to Halo 3 for intense, classic Halo combat.
    • We love Halo
    • Perhaps all of these are relevant, but I believe the real reason Halo Reach disappoints on some levels (despite being a beautiful looking game with classic Halo gameplay) is it feels too much like a knock-off rather than a send-off.
    • It has a few added gameplay elements such jet packs and sprint, easily the best looking Halo to
    • it is THE BEST HALO to date period.
    • This is the absolute best halo ever made the storyline is awesome, the graphics are great, and all the upgrades are mind blowing.
    • In my opinion reach is the best halo game ever created simply because it's true.
    • This is the best halo game ever released its worth every penny
    • Most of the maps are based on old maps from Halo and Halo 2, just like Halo 3 maps are
    • Definitely the fourth best halo game ever.
    • Reminds you why you love Halo
    • I picked up this game, like many others, expecting this to top Halo 3, but I thought to myself, what could top Halo 3
    • One of the best Halo games yet
    • and if you like Halo you need this in your collection!
    • I would rather play Halo 3 than this game any time or ODST , whatever you want to call it, I will forever miss the desert level, this is just another Halo with some options to fly, get health packs or guard yourself.
    • if you love halo and don't like this, go somewhere, if you have never played halo, pick this up, and be ready to have one of the best gaming experiences you'll get this year.
    • However, I've not played Halo 3 or ODST, but I read other reviews indicating Halo Reach is by far one of the best Halo games to date
    • The weapons have kind of sucked sense Halo 3.
    • Where Halo 3 felt like an xbox 1 game with some next-gen graphic features tacked on, Halo Reach truly feels next-gen
    • This Halo is the prequel to all things Halo, and the story line doesn't disappoint
    • The campaign mode is challenging on the hardest level (maybe not as hard Halo 3, but much harder than ODST) but is doable with more players
    • New weapons are cool but the graphics don't seem to be as crisp as HALO 3.
    • The best Halo game by far
    • This is my favorite Halo game.
    • This is the best Halo yet, and I say that as a person who thought the sequels, while decent, did not capture the same essence that the original Halo did
    • Personally bought this because of the reduced price and was hoping it would be as good as HALO 3.
    • Great classic Halo feel but updated with some new features to compete with some of the newer games out there!!!
    • New weapons and vehicles along with an awesome story make Halo Reach a winner!
    • IMO, Halo 1 was the best, then reach, then 3, then last is halo 2 (never played ODST)
    • Halo is way better than Gears of War
    • I am a huge Halo fan that has lost all respect for the game after Reach, waiting for COD
    • The gameplay is classic Halo, though they changed the button layouts, you'll get used to it in minutes and be just fine
    • If you liked Halo 3 and want to pay another 60 dollars for it then this is your game.
    • Compared to empty games like GOW3 or unpolished games like COD games, Halo: Reach is amazing.
    • I've always enjoyed Halo in the past but considered myself a Call of Duty girl.
    • Not as good as halo but close...too short and choppy with wierd things.....but a nice play anyway...get it for fun....
    • Reach is the best Halo game to date.
    • My Favorite Halo
    • I can only guess that the beauty of levels loading in the background of the movie that Halo is famous for, takes more processing power than length of the movie runs
    • Halo Reach is the best Halo ever
    • one of the best halo i ever played
    • this is the game for halo fans like me
    • Overall I would say halo reach fails to bring anything innovative and the story is somewhat boring, multiplyer is descent but too similar to halo 3 for my tastes, there are way too playlist options, and maps
    • In my opinion the best Halo game
    • Even if you don't love HALO, but like FPS games, you'll enjoy this one.
    • But I love halo, and hope (but doubt) they will make another one.
    • I wrote Halo ODST review detailing what sucked..and they rectify it!!
    • What I mean by that, is that this Halo focused more on the gritty ambiance of war, and the characters around you that help you along the way accomplish your missions throughout the game
    • This is by far the greatest halo ever made and it will be that way for years to come.
    • Highly anticipated, Reach fell short in delivering an epic conclusion to Bungie's popular Halo series
    • Some say it is Halo with nothing more or it will not win new-bees or convert someone to the Halo Waypoint; I disagree with the nay sayers and bipartisan
    • the sensitivity is twice as slow as halo 3, so those that were playing on a 5 in Halo 3 will now be on a 10, those that used anything higher your out of luck
    • Of course, this outting maintains Halo's issue with characters more stiff then a viagra overdose, but it atleast makes an attempt to add some depth to the characters
    • It is not as fun as the other Halo games.3
    • The best Halo game for Xbox 360!!
    • Halo 3 was the easiest of the previous 4 which is why the campaign was so much less enjoyed
    • Great Halo
    • Doe me this is the best halo game from the whole franchise.it captures the characters emotions and portrays a whole new level of entertainmentfrom the single player campaignto the firefight variations, and/or combimed with online matchmakingthis is the best halo game i could ever possibly have played.
    • I think the Halo 3 maps are better looking (a die-hard halo friend agrees as well) and I "miss" some of the weapons, but we gotta grow up sometime!One of the big negatives on this, and I'm hoping future purchasers will read this, relates to the new xbox360 slims
    • Why halo deviated from this style is beyond me
    • The game itself brings a much needed uplift to the already successful model Halo has brought to first person shooters
    • If you like Halo you will love this game.
    • Simply, if you're a die-hard Halo fan and can't get enough you won't go wrong by picking this title up
    • It's the most refined Halo game I've ever played.
    • The bottom line is simple: If you don't like Halo, this won't win you over
    • I love Halo, but this game is just an unnecessary game to make a profit
    • Who doesn't like HALO
    • I liked HALO because of the light humor and witty comments by the advesaries as well as foot soldiers.
    • I always enjoyed halo
    • Overall, Halo 3 is waaaaayy better, especially when it comes to multiplayer
    • don't get me wrong but halo 4 has more enemies
    • the ragdoll physics, the satisfying awards, and the splendid assassination animation are just a few of the things that make Halo Reach great.
    • Best Halo game yet!
    • This is my favorite halo game
    • While these additions add a little more variety, at its core it still the same old Halo.
    • Bringing back the Halo 2 maps, simply the best Halo maps ever made, was genius
    • It's the absolute best Halo so far as a whole
    • I would recommend this to everyone who loves playing halo...
    • and I have to say this is one of my least favorite, Halo reach fails at bringing anything new to the series
    • Halo doesn't cheat with their AI, skills, and enemy abilities.
    • If you are looking for good old Halo 2 and 3 style online multiplayer you are look at the wrong product Im afraid
    • it even shows up in the campaign! awesome multiplayer... although i will say this... unless your an avid halo fan who only cares about story lines
    • Best Halo I've ever played!
    • Best Halo game in my opinion
    • This is the best Halo by far, with the nicest environments and with excellent graphics and game play
    • The physics are a bit different, the sprint feature is almost identical to COD, and the campaign feels more like COD with aliens than a classic Halo campaign
    • Though there are many multiplayer maps, weapons, vehicles and other methods with which to give the game variety, Halo has always been strong about "fairness".
    • I honestly cannot give this game a real gamer review because I love Halo
    • Halo 3 is much better in my opinion
    • First of all, this is THE best Halo out of all of them
    • I just love HALO!
    • This is by far the best Halo installment in the series
    • Since I first played this game when it came out, I played all the other Halo games as well and only own Halo 3, ODST, REACH, and Halo 4 (4 is really only decent for the online multiplayer
    • I think this was definatly the best halo i have played to date having beat all of them, worth every penny!
    • Then you will like Halo
    • Halo Reach is the best Halo to date, having only seen the gameplay of Halo Wars, and owning the others, this is by far the best yet
    • Obviously, everybody seems to like the classic halo the best, but this one is well worth the buy!
    • I've always both loved and hated Halo
    • If you like Halo, buy it now.
    • If you're looking for a review that details all the quests, this isn't the review for you, but if you're trying to decide whether the latest Halo is worth the money, don't feel bad about spending it if you play your games at least as much as my husband does.
    • It's Halo as you love it with better online features and a great storyline.
    • Story is easy to follow unlike say, Halo 2, and is still able to draw you in
    • Reach is easily the best Halo title yet, and likely will be the best ever.
    • This is my favorite Halo game out of all of them.
    • The weapons have been rebalanced and some replaced for what is clearly the best Halo arsenal yet.
    • Halo 3 also introduced great new weapons like the hammer and spartan laser.
    • I enjoy Halo, all Halo and I typically play single player campaigns on my games
    • It took me a while to realize this, because I thought Halo 3 looked great
    • If you like Halo, this is worth your money.
    • If you like halo you need to get this latest edition.
    • Actually bought this game for my son as he loves halo
    • Overall the game is more worth your money than ODST was (which was fun but lacked depth of content), but not as great a game overall as Halo 3.
    • all in one place for you to build and create, Campaign: the story is pretty well done, but i think Halo 3's was a little better
    • This is the best Halo to date
    • If you liked Halo 3 then you will love this game =)
    • Definitely best Halo game I've played
    • Best halo to date, followed up by halo one
    • you love halo and don't have this yet
    • Halo Reach is definitely the best Halo game so far.
    • If you love first person shooter games, you MUST buy Halo: Reach.
    • I'd even hand over more than $60 for a game like Halo Reach.
    • , I think this may well be one of the most beautiful Halo games
    • For me Reach is by far the greatest Halo game ever made
    • Unlike MW where you die instantly, Halo is a little "slower" of a game because live
    • If you like Halo 3, you'll like this.
    • 2) Still not as much fun as Halo or Halo 2 IMO.Conclusion
    • Not as good as Halo 4 in either campaign or anything else, but it's a great addition to the series
    • With Halo 4 on the horizon and gameplay previews already available to watch, I have begun to reminisce about the "good ole days".
    • If you like Halo you will love this game
    • So for that, Thank you Halo - for the endless hours of online play and, more importantly, for the memories
    • I believe this was one of the best halo games in the series.
    • No games does online split screen shooter as well has HALO
    • Even if you don't love HALO, but like FPS games, you'll enjoy this one.
    • I wrote Halo ODST review detailing what sucked..and they rectify it!!
    • I played this game about 10 hrs and got bored as h_ll
    • I have played Halo and Halo 2 on the PC as well as on the Xbox/Xbox 360
    • You'd probably say thats just as stupid as if they scraped half of all the weapons and replaced them with strange similar counterparts and then changed the function of all the other weapons they didn't scrap
    • But I've never played a Halo game that was as fresh, innovative, and interesting as the very first one
    • Solid A!
    • It is still, however, not as great as I had
    • Nothing ground breaking but lots of fun solo as well as with friends.
    • The maps incorporate campaign settings making them just more natural, as well as bringing back old classics like ivory tower and ascension
    • New weapons, vehicles, and armor abilities have been added (although duel wielding has been removed), but the core gameplay is still as sharp as when the first Halo wowed the world.
