Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - [Xbox 360] (Video Game)

Customer Review

... And also in the remake!

Can the remake really put any Halo fan and Xbox360 owners only warmly at heart ...
Unlike Halo 4, which was released by 343 Industries, Halo Anniversery is a very good job of this studio, here the classic Halo gameplay has been retained, actually was part 1 just 1: 1 dissolved in a prettier graphics and no COD Bonds, as QTEs, render sequences and exaggerated theatricality installed. (God seis thanked!)
This is also nice as is "modern" Halo (1) still, this game was once reverence when it comes to Schooter and gameplay, and enemy AI and next to the controller assignment, which was then completely new and valid even today and the standard means is Halo (1) truly one of the games that a firm place have the "video game history (compare this with crisys (1), which caused quite open mouths and today just yet is extremely boring, because Halo has (1) really much more sustainable, thanks to the enemy AI, the setting and the absolutely "buttery" controller assignment that occurs one immediately familiar).

In the game there is, in addition to the familiar gameplay and the graphics prettified, even "hidden" terminals which provide a little background to the Halo universe and unlike Part 4, these goodies you can in Halo Anniversary Watch the game itself and does not need to until Halo Waypoint, via Xbox Live, try.
Why was dissolved in Halo 4 different and why Halo 4 clearly goes towards "COD", is probably only the developers obvious.
As you can read in many other reviews, you can always switch between the original graphics from 2001-02 (US / EU) and "amazed" how far developed the graphics at that time already had (the graphics power of the Xbox (1) Thanks be ) or how pretty the graphics today so looks (as Halo Reach roughly), a really nice feature!
Similarly, one can between the original soundtrack and a little aufgehübschtem constantly switch (The newer Sondtrack is only minimally different, but better adapted to surround systems, the graphics are exchangeable in the game, the soundtrack only via the menu).
Also has been written many times that precisely the level design "only" 1: 1 taken, you have to so easily arrange that this game has under his belt already good 13-14 years, that is, at least in places, can not be overlooked but I have to honestly say that there are lots of new productions that act a lot more boring than Halo (1)!
For Kinect owners, there is a "scan function", with which you can scan objects or enemies / people in the game in order to obtain various information about it, unfortunately there this feature ONLY for Kinect owners, which I find quite annoying ( therefore also a star deduction)!
Even the multiplayer was circumcised, as opposed to the original multiplayer only 6 cards are included in the original there were 12 (for me but not relevant).

Overall, however, a really successful remake that I really anyone anything with Halo, with SiFi or even with console gaming in general something can begin, really can only recommend (also all veterans who have the original still standing at home!) ,
