I'm adding my review to get the average rating of Halo up. How people can seriously give less than 8 out of 10 I don't know. There are some major PC fanboys out there, picking on things such as low res textures, these are the best looking textures yet seen on a console, and you don't need the GDP of a small South American country to achieve it. Halo broke the mould for FPS games on consoles, the level design is spot on, Silent Cartograper mixes both open battles and tight claustrophobic corridor shoot outs, and the controls are the best yet for an FPS, and have not been bettered. The multiplayer is great too, system link two Xboxes for an 8 way frag frenzy, chuck in 8 lads, a crate of beers, the odd pizza, something unmentionable, and you got a top gaming experience. I'm writing this at a time when Halo 2 has already come out and Halo stands out still for it's freshness. Halo 2 expands on it from a multiplayer point of view but Halo has the epic battles and the tense sense of survival. If you don't feel this, you ain't got no soul.
