The story does a good job setting a mood and all that good stuff, online wise eh it can wait

I can't get enough of the campaigns, and Reach delivered with new weapons (not necessarily better, but unique for sure), great story, and a customizable main character (a cool feature and a Halo first)

While both games had their strong points, and believe me I still play ODST with my buds online, their stories proved very lacking in the end

This is the second Halo campaign that does NOT include Master Chief, however, the story stays strong by putting you in the shoes of Noble Six, the newest member of the Noble team, comprised entirely of Spartans

The story is actually really good, unlike the boring ODST story, the REACH's story does get drawn out a bit towards the last half.

the gameplay makes up for the bad story though

I can assure when you buy this game that you a going to get a great soundtrack, story, armor customization, and loads of fun online

It's a great story with good action.

I first played Campaign on easy so that I could enjoy the story and not feel frustrated by having a hard time on a mission

If you play with a lot of people in Forge, it will go quicklyIn summary, as I stated, this is my absolute favorite Halo with the best graphics, story, and environments (Not characters because if anyone values these characters over Master Chief, the Arbiter, Sgt

(5/5)Pros:+ Story is unmatched in all of the Halo games.+ (Personal

Cheap predictable story line and game flow also hurt our experience

Campaign was also pretty well done, it is a darker Halo game, but great story and an ending to remember!

I recived a time, everything was good, this is a good game, and one of the best story of halo series.

If you were pinning for a new HALO 3 with new Graphics and a bad story

I know what you are going to say "On legendary it will take longer"; well on legendary it is still the same story

From the robust online and features to the beautiful story, and tragically gorgeous music, this game has it all.

The campaign is pretty standard length with a great story

The armor abilities are a game changer and the story is awesome

With all that said the story for Reach is awful at best

the storytelling caught my attention from the get-go, seeing the teaser trailer before it came out, i wont give away the story to anyone who hasnt played it, i liked it from beginning to end, and i think it was a way for bungie to end out their last days with microsoft, the graphics are beautiful (Also the best in the series) the war to save reach may have ended in vain, but the battle was a well fought and goes down swinging... and just like master chief himself, noble 6, which i believe to be a hero to a fallen reach the way MC is a hero to the galaxy...is good at getting the job done, no matter the sacrifice!!!1

Without dishing out any spoilers, I can say with confidence that you will love the story along with it's connections

The game has good story, excellent gameplay, fantastic multiplayer, great graphics

The normal campaign is a bit short, but it is a lot of fun and has a good story

Reach, I was disappointed with Halo 3 and stayed away from the franchise for a while, but it has great graphics and a fairly interesting story and the multiplayer is very enjoyable.

The multiplayer is an amazingly fun experience and the campaign is a great story.

The story wasn't anything special and knocked it out withing 6-7 hours

Thankfully 'Halo Reach' has some excellent pacing and level designs and is easily one of the best first person shooters on the next-gen market for single player gamers!The story of Halo Reach is like a cross between Call of Duty and Republic Commando

Even thought multiplayer was better, the story was sort of forgetful and boring

While the campaign of Halo: Reach lacks the "OMG" factor of the original, the extremely sophisticated split narrative of the first sequel, the bombast of the trilogy closer, and even the brilliant moodiness of ODST, this prequel is still a solid story filled with all the run-and-gun action and overwhelming odds that have made Halo the signature franchise of this gaming generation

It's not a BAD story by any means, just don't expect it to be up their with Bioshock or Call of

It has extremely good graphics and a great story line

Single player is by far the greatest story telling of the entire Halo franchise

I loved the story of Master Chief, and I have to say the game feels somewhat absent without him

Engrossing story.

varied gameplay and a solemn story that stays with you

The single-player is also very good and I enjoyed the story and the AI is very competent.

This game has a great story, great multiplayer, great firefight, and great forge

The gameplay is some of the most fun I've had, the story and campaign is amazing, with the unforgettable team of Spartans, and the multiplayer, of course, is popular

Halo fans have been somewhat cheated in recent years with the unanswered questions generated at the end of Halo 3, an almost campy story from Halo: ODST, and the completely unrelated one from Halo Wars.

The story is actually pretty lame now that I look back.

The story was cheesy

none stop action all the way great story too.buy this and love it looking forward to the next halo game hopefully halo 4.

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.

Great multiplayer new weapons, new story GREAT

Single player has a great story and you can't go wrong with the multiplayer

Lame story, smaller maps and half the time you didn't play as the master chief

when having fun even then the game took about 10-12hrs of game play on normal mode.even for its short story it wraps up the Halo experience with a great storyline and spectacular graphics.as well as the story it has a large number of new maps for multiplayer and online modes with many new multiplayer games.in

For $60 you get so much: Great story( 4 player co-op

The campaign was decent and the story was good (as Halo always is) but it really is nothing new.

Also the story lin.e is awesome to follow

When we heard about Reach, I was expecting a 20 hour single play with a bunch of replay value and a great story.

The story is solid

Halo Reach has a great story from beginning to end and I love how they mix up the gameplay throughout.

knowing that this is a prequel, you already know that reach falls into the hands of the covenant, but the journey that takes you to that part, is undeniably a classic on its own...the best story (in my opinion) from the series

Nice story line, but I mainly love this game for Firefight

the only good part of the game is the campaign which is fun and has a good story

Great story

Campaign was also pretty well done, it is a darker Halo game, but great story and an ending to remember!

The graphics are amazing and the story is very rich and engaging.

The story is cool too

The story is absolutely wonderful, especially if you've played a Halo game before

i said i didn't like xiii 2 mainly because of unrealistic story,but there is a big difference in rpg's ,&

However, if you are more into campaign and less into multi-player, the story is a bit lacking

Great story, you will not regret playing it

DECENT AND SORROWFUL STORY

New weapons and vehicles along with an awesome story make Halo Reach a winner!

A great story-line that ties into the rest of the Halo trilogy

Of course it is, but trust me, this the best story, gameplay, game mechanics, physics, graphics, and action pack FUN in any Halo title

It has the great gameplay, story, visuals, audio (really amazing stuff), and that overall sheen of awesome that every great game has

Story is easy to get pulled into.

I think the story fit in well with the franchise and enjoyed the gameplay

Couldn't give a damn about Halo Solo and the stupid story anymore.

The story is boring, there are no interesting

In summary:PROS-Story mode is fun, esp in co-op, though I cant comment on the length as I havent played

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

I loved the campaign great story line, but where I saw the game shine to the peak of a the five out of five was its online play

A very great story, and fun campaign with levels that are fun and should have some replay value

Great story!

That being said I think the story could've been so much better.

The single player is the same old intense-colorful-actionpacked story

Great game and great story

The story is dull for 99% of the time, but the after credits ending is by far the best of any installment to date.

The story is great as well

The story is kind of cliche and predictable, especially the characters

There are reviews far more detailed than mine, so I'll keep it short.-The campaign is longer and more challenging that the others.-It has a good story and a excellent

its an amazing game and the story is

The only thing it does top EVERY Halo at is the story, but only Halo CE tops it

Story is easy to follow unlike say, Halo 2, and is still able to draw you in

fun factor 4-10, story 8-10, graphic, 8-10,

A satisfying game with a great story.

The single player is the same old intense-colorful-actionpacked story

The story of 6 Spartans (Noble Team) encountering the alien Covenant prior to a full-scale invasion of the planet Reach, hopelessly defending the world they call home, discovering mankind's salvation, and their eventual sacrifice make for a fantastic narrative with tons of excuses for action.

The story, music, atmosphere, gameplay, it was all just right

Game play did not disappoint me and I loved the story of Noble Team.

I suspected would be more of the same, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the single player played a lot like halo 1, and the story was good

A good story, nifty variations on the franchise (items, character customization, etc.

From the intense single player campaign stuffed with variety to the excellent voice acting, story and sound

The Campaign will last you only about 10 hours (more if, like me, you played it on legendary with a lot of difficulty), but the story, the characters, the emotion, game play mechanics, down to the graphics just make the game so beautiful

but ive seen worse T rated games

course.(some good games R beyond me)I highly recommend Halo Reach!
