Halo: Combat Evolved review:
4 stars (Good Game, But Not As Good As The Xbox Version !!!!!!!!!) - I'm not the biggest PC gamer, I usually stick to my Xbox, but I must say this version has way better graphics, along with new weapons like the fuel rod cannon, and the flamethrower. Yet, the campaign mode is really no different from the Xbox version at all, and really you need some real advanced hardware as well, to play this game. The timing was off to now you have games like Half Life 2, Unreal, and Doom 3 out, on the PC as well as Far Cry and Call of Duty, really not the best timing since the Xbox version has been out now for 2 years.



Yes the multi player has lots of cool options, with online options. The problem is that the online system doesn't work that well at all, and they also eliminated co op from the multi player options. The multi player on the pc version is just terrible, and is stripped down compared too the console version. So all you have is the single player campaign mode which is only 10 levels and about 12-14 hours of gameplay unless you put the game in Heroic mode. So after you beat the game their is no multi player fun at all, and there is no way to set up LAN parties and such with the pc version.



Well, if you look past the flaws, the campaign mode is fun and has a edge graphic wise over the Xbox version, along with the Flamethrower and Fuel Rod Cannon, which were both nice toys. I will admit the controls on the PC version are easier than I would expect since I'm usually a system gamer. What can I say if you own a Pc and you don't own the Xbox, get the PC version, but if you are given a choice between the two I would still choose the Xbox version though, because it has more beyond the campaign mode. Halo is still a great game no matter what system it's on. The game will sometimes freeze up too which I didn't like.



Overall, I will give the PC version of Halo a 4/5,... great game but can't out shine the Xbox version!!!

3 stars (Well...) - It was good. I could actullay play online with people because I didn't have Xbox Live. But the graphics and controls were confusing. I liked it anyway.
5 stars (good game) - this is a amazing game but if u r a parent and ur kid does not swear much he will read plenty of it in the online part of the game. so if ur kid already does and u don't mind much violence then this game is 4 u.
