Mmm... shotgun. This game actually has a shotgun
that works! Miracle of miracles! It works as well as the
shotgun from Doom. Anybody remember that game?
Well, almost. Speaking of Doom, anybody notice that the Master
Chief looks like the Doom guy? Hmm...
Anyway, me and Woodstock played the co-op mode and beat it in probably
five or six hours. It was awesome. The Flood were hard, but once we
got shotguns, we had noooo problems.
The shotgun really makes shredding Flood fun! So, throw away
that assault rifle and grab a SHOTGUN! Okay, did I make that
clear enough? This isn't a review, is it? Oh, well.

I have a friend that works at Microsoft, and can get
Xbox games at a reduced price. He showed me a list of games that he
could get, and I saw Halo there. I wasn't real sure at first if I
wanted it, from what Linus had told me about it, but that "Game of the
Year" sticker changed my mind. I ordered it. It arrived four days
later, me and a friend beat it in two days.
It is a very good game, with a variety of weapons
ranging from a pistol to a sniper rifle to a rocket launcher. There
are also a number of vehicles that can be used. The controls are easy
to master. I can see this game
still being popular in years to come, like Unreal Tournament. I
definitely recommend this game to any gamer. |
