Ingenious remake of a classic genius

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

Customer Review

I have to get rid of something, to me Halo is really overtaken. I have in magazines and on the Internet, although only good part, yet it is somehow passing Gege addressed to me. Only from Halo Reach I thought, oh give NEN Ruck, many people can not be wrong indeed. And you know what, you were right.

I started with Part 1 (runs perfectly on 360) and loved it. And in the course of the year I have then all other parts also gained (even Halo Wars). And they gave me made all the fun (also part 2 despite üblem end).

So the following needs to be said to remake: Damn, I could have saved the original to buy me, but I just wanted to just have no holes in the story (yes that happens when you do not want to wait for remakes), but I do not regret it really, so I can also tell you what has changed.

For the first (logically) the graphics are worlds better, not the best of times, but still damn pretty. And especially cool: a button you can switch on and indeed at any time and by the way, even in the main menu (check them out) the original graphic. Only in cutscenes and the Mult player does not work.

Only lack of anti-aliasing (does not interfere) and reload stutter (was the same as in the original, because the switch might, otherwise absolutely smoothly) give tiny criticisms, but believe me, the game has a completely own style and is amazingly well aged, that can not be many games after 10 years of assert (yes I have the original played until this year, my statement refers to games that were yet to be the best halt 10 years ago)

The Warthogsteuerung been improved: I do not know whether this was due to the emulation, or on anything else, I found controlling the Warthog in original grottig he went to levels like driving on ice (as he drove on ice, you would not know ). Why especially highlighting that in the original there was at the end of a very special escape scene with the Warthog (No I tell anything anyway) since my control has driven to the brink of insanity, in the remake I have this scene quite loose at the first attempt managed super innovation.

In each level, a terminal is hidden that betrays you additional story details. The did not exist in the original. Sure, they had been in the main story can also be integrated. Also clear who already played the successor to the could also have one or two loose piece together themselves. Yet here we see for the first time between acts that were otherwise only incidentally noted at the followers (I will not spoil), making it a little easier for beginners to understand the story.

The ingenious story Koop mode can you now even play online, although only two, but whatever. And of course in the still brilliant splitscreen.

In multiplayer, there are 6 tickets from Halo 1 and the firefight mode there is a map that is similar to Halo 2 (Firefight: neutralsieren waves of enemies with 4 people for the Halo do not know). Yes you can complain about, it was in the original or 13 cards, but that have been revised are the absolutely great, as expected for (almost over for taste) every thing to be there.

The rest has been more or less 1 to 1 ported from the original, unfortunately, the less good. By that I mean too much recycling Level (You must always fight back by absolutely identically constructed rooms, you think again and again, in the room I was before, but it has absolutely correct).

And something I have to criticize that even a separate paragraph to me worth the LIBRARY LEVEL. In the original: the worst level that I've ever seen anywhere, 4 storeys long felt year had an opponent wave after another ward, I had to stop on the verge, as the level heard, thank God, and the graphics so unspeakably ugly that one believes This level comes from another game. Yes, I know, the Xbox 360 HD had no graphics, but this level was at worlds behind all other levels graphically.

What has happened with the remake here: you get here delivered a pretty good graphics, though it then repeats it, but at least visually, it looks a lot more comfortable than the original (on here in no way the original appearance one says no I have you not warned). Unfortunately, playing it is still the same as in the original gruel, the level has probably made the trainee, and another can not be explained. That is why, incidentally, the 4 star Appreciation, you could cut the level yes or make somehow more interesting.

All other levels are absolutely awesome my favorite level was the second and at least for me, the game had an enormous replayability, after 4 times through play is still not boring, especially nowadays an art.

So if you want the original play again or finally back playing a classic wants deserves the name, the part itself should bring. However, anyone who is only on things like Call of Duty should rather make it a wide berth. Halo is just not a single script festival but real fun.
