Halo has an impressive graphics, especially with a fairly new video card, the design of the levels, characters and weapons is above average. Also the sound is really great! If you have played more first shooter, you realize how well Halo really is: The configuration of the controller and the other options is really unique good as other programs could learn a big fat slice of. You can control virtually every Halo supported by Windows input device, whereby even adventurous configurations with multiple joysticks / joypads, keyboard and trackball are possible without the need to lay hands on any configuration files, as in the competition. The control, even when the vehicle is very good, and succeed at first attempt (especially in jeeps and tanks, the "aircraft" are a little more complicated). It has very great freedom in playing the levels, and is taken as a beginner also to the hand, which is not self-evident in games. One can, for example, rather than simply herumzuballern, proceed also tactical and off targeted leaders of fighting groups, (misses the target-seeking projectiles) of hide and seek with the sniper rifle or the needle weapon the aliens decimate relatively riskolos groups, etc. - Unlike some other games makes it in Halo fun exploring the different possibilities of weapons and tactics game, and you will thereby never overwhelmed. The limitation on maximum two weapons simultaneously makes the games even easier, the limit of two hand grenades types. Thus, the number of required keys / control buttons is kept within limits. In some places, Halo is difficult in light mode, but you can look for little tinkering always find a solution. Halo and Unreal Tournament 2004 are the two best shooter I've seen so far. Definitely worth the money!
