    Halo Reach

    • Still it is a great game and is well worth playing through the campaign and can easily pack hours upon hours of play doing multiplayer if that is your thing.
    • this game is old news and my friends and I are sick of dealing with it after 2 weeks of solid play
    • the only downside to this game's online is it lags sometimes but only if your playing with someone who lives far away
    • All around top notch game play.
    • but that's a small price to pay for a great playing game.
    • This is one of the best games I have ever played
    • Online play is very solid
    • Not forcing people into battle style games that they do not enjoy playing
    • this is the best halo yet the online play is amazing you can play so many different games (i recommend the "living dead" game list) if you feel like playing swat, big team, infection, team snipers you can do it with know problem
    • This is the best video game i have ever played in my entire life

    • This is one of the best games I've ever played
    • Love this series and game play.
    • the armor abilities keep competitive play rounded and are tight
    • Overall this game is great and is really fun for playing with friends + playing solo.
    • i will try to remember to come back and update this after i finish the campaign and try multiplayer but not sure i am going to waste too much more time playing.
    • There are 21 maps available for online play but, with the new forge world and new&improved forge tools there are literally unlimited amount of maps to be played
    • I think this was definatly the best halo i have played to date having beat all of them, worth every penny!
    • I enjoy the online play a lot.
    • I gave it 4 stars because it is like like playing Halo 3 with new guns and maps and some perks
    • I'm giving it one star not for the game being bad at all, in fact it's one of the best games i've played on a console, it's a shame a game like this isn't available on PC (i'm a PC player too BTW)
    • story really did not appeal to much to me while playing and it's ending was a little bland, compared to how other Halo games have ended.
    • I've got to say that the Halo games are the very best first person shooter games I've ever played
    • Now the fun begins!the game play on this entry in the halo
    • Overall, one of the best Xbox games I have played, regardless of genre.
    • What else is cool is you can search for people who you would enjoy playing with.
    • really good indeed.. best played with your friends
    • I can say that this is the best Halo game I've played, and I look forward to continue playing online

    • I enjoyed playing
    • Games like these used to offer you weeks of intense and immersive game play.
    • The multiplayer on Halo Reach is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played.
    • Not as good as halo but close...too short and choppy with wierd things.....but a nice play anyway...get it for fun....
    • I couldn't believe it!On the plus side, it is hard to tell while playing, even during busy fights, it is acceptable
    • I recommend playing this game before Halo Anniversary, as it is the prequel to the series.
    • There's one thing about Halo games that hardcore Halo fans love: competitive play
    • So, two people can play it at the same time as well as play on the same team.
    • This game combines the best of Halo and Call of Duty, allowing a conventional Halo match, or if you change the settings, you can get a more realistic game play
    • Definitely best Halo game I've played
    • but it's rendered pointless for anyone who cares about competitive play.
    • kids are still enjoying playing
    • He said he's never "completed" any of his video games, especially the ones that are first person shooter type games and while he doesn't foresee completing Halo Reach either, he does say this is the best, most intense game he's ever played, right from the beginning of loading the disc, the stunning graphics made it evident that this would become an epic game among serious gamers
    • The campaign is by far the best one I have played, and it really draws you in to play more
    • Halo Reach is one of the best games we have played.
    • With strong competitive play being a great focus the game is going to be a major hit in the MLG circuit next season
    • I limit his play, but he love getting on line and playing with his friends.
    • I think this is the best one that I have played so far
    • See my previous point about boring online competitive play - there is clearly one or two "right" ways to
    • Surprisingly, Reach has the hardest campaign I've played to date and actually adjusts for difficulty if co-op is used.
    • 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 am not that great at the multiplayer, but I enjoy playing with friends.
    • but now I'm sitting on my couch playing the best video game I've played in YEARS
    • See my previous point about boring online competitive play - there is clearly one or two "right" ways to
    • It has great game play and cut scenes
    • I limit his play, but he love getting on line and playing with his friends.
    • my son has really enjoyed playing this game
    • I found it was just me as Noble Six playing by myself or another Noble member 30 feet away from me doing something else
    • He said he's never "completed" any of his video games, especially the ones that are first person shooter type games and while he doesn't foresee completing Halo Reach either, he does say this is the best, most intense game he's ever played, right from the beginning of loading the disc, the stunning graphics made it evident that this would become an epic game among serious gamers
    • only thing remotely close to competitive play is "The Arena"
    • It's the most refined Halo game I've ever played.
    • cutter!For those that love Halo, and still love playing, Reach is for you
    • 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.
