Product Description
Product Description
The explosions will light up your living room. Halo is a sci-fi shooting match that lets you experience first-hand a mysterious alien ring-world. Loaded with combat, Halo will have you fighting on foot, in vehicles, inside and outdoors with Alien and Human weaponry. Your objective is to uncover Halo's horrible secrets and destroy mankind's sworn enemy, the Covenant. Fight the Covenant in dozens of missions as you discover the virulent secrets of Halo. Your many goals include attacking enemy outposts, raiding underground labs for advanced technology, rescuing fallen comrades, stealing alien vehicles and weaponry and sniping at enemy forces.

This action shooter takes place on a mysterious alien world. It offers a combination of team-based first-person-shooter gameplay (reminiscent of Tribes) and third-person vehicle combat elements. Gameplay kicks off with the player heading down to the planet's surface in a troop carrier, à la Aliens. As the player and fellow marines exit, the remaining troopers form a flank in reaction to an oncoming onslaught of human and alien enemies.
It's this smart AI system that makes for a noticeably unique gameplay feel. Another very nice feature is the seamless transition into vehicular elements. As you venture through mission objectives, a variety of enemy flyers and on-ground buggies are yours for the taking. Come across a vehicle and the camera will pull back to a third-person view as you strap in and motor through crossfire. A co-op mode allows a friend to join you in the single-player missions. For chaotic fighting action, up to four players can duel in split-screen deathmatch mode or link systems for LAN play. However you choose to hero your way through Halo: Combat Evolved, the action should break in your new Xbox in explosive style.

I tested the game out tonight and it worked with no issues. Very happy to have this game back again! While it technically is the 2001 version of the game, the 2003 version I had just included the HALO 2 previews with the game.
Neither the lack of a complete Xbox case and booklet, nor the 2001 version are deal breakers. The primary purpose for this purchase was to have access to the game again. And for that reason, I am very pleased with this purchase!
The best feature that I like about HALO is the playability. I'm simply amazed by the graphics and how everything else is choreographed with it. Not only that each character is well designed down to the very minor detail, the Artifical Intelligence that the developers put in the game is even more incredible. Not only do your enemies hide when they are hurt or low on ammo, they also know how to take cover to avoid your grenades. They even have a strategy. Whenever you are confronted with a number of elites and jackals, they tend to send the durable elites to take you head on and have the shield-wielding jackals to flank you from the side. When the elites run out of ammo, or about to run out of ammo, they will charge you and attempt to engage you in melee. 2 to 3 consecutive knocks from these things will put you out of the game.
You also have A.I. controlled Marines to help you. But they are only useful on Easy and Normal difficulties, mostly because on these levels they tend to send just 1 or 2 elites at a time, they will never send a horde of jackals to back them up. These Marines only make good entertainment with their one liners, ie, "Who's your Daddy!?", "Let me make sure he's dead!" then walks up to the corpse and puts another 3 rounds into the dead body. Marines aren't very effective, however. They are only effective against the foolish grunts and maybe 2 or 3 Jackals-- 1 elite will tear them apart if you don't help.
All in all HALO is a great game. The number of vehicles that's included in this game could have made HALO a racing game in its own right. You also have the option to play co-op through the campaign with your friends or against them through death match. If you are into a great first-person shooter game, you definitely will like HALO.
Halo: Combat Evolved is classic. When you think of games that have really set the world of gaming on fire, Halo is one of the titles that come to mind. I bought this off of Amazon because I wanted to go back and play the series in order, I have only ever played through Reach.
This is an original Xbox game, so the graphics will not be as good as an Xbox 360 game. If you want better graphics for Halo, you will need to buy the re-release for the 360. Game play is fun, but I have never found it as ground breaking as a lot of people claimed. What keeps me interested in the series is the story line and combat.
