Surprisingly impressive. In fact, the enemy and ally A.I. is done extremely well. Even on lower difficulties, you'll find enemies give you a challenge.
Your objectives are simple enough that you never have to flip switches, jump over pits or hunt down missing keys, but at the same time the smart enemies, brilliant level design and strategic combat will tax your brain more than any scavenger hunt ever could.

***Not a Halo: CE Anniversary or a Halo: CE from the Master Chief Collection review***
(Played on an original XBOX console, controller and copy of the game).
REVIEW:
It doesn’t take much to get absolutely dumbfounded at the brilliance of Martin O’Donells score, the intriguing story that unfolds in front of you as much as in front of the characters themselves, the iconic alien enemies, an unprecedented plot-twist mid-game and a fun, unmatched gameplay loop.
This game never gets old, and it certainly set the stage for one of the greatest video game and sci-fi franchises of all time.
If you have an original XBOX and haven’t played this game, you’re certainly missing out.

A game that will become the new benchmark for first person shooters. Quite frankly, it's one of the better ones that I have seen in a long time, at least since Half Life.
From the look and feel of the game to its balanced learning curve and careful pacing, every aspect of Halo has been polished to perfection.
Not only the perfect next-generation first person shooter, it has redefined the genre, on a console no less. Never before has a combat game been so amazing in every way.
Though all of the vehicles, especially the Warthog, are given odd control mechanics, playing with the vehicles adds quite a bit of enjoyment to the otherwise standard FPS game mechanics.
The first half is fast, exciting, beautifully designed and constantly full of surprises. The second half is festooned with gobsmacking plot twists and great cinematics but let down by repetitive paint by numbers level design.
The most important game of this century. It revolutionised the FPS genre on console, introduced the most successful entertainment IP of the ‘00s, ushered in cinematic storytelling to the FPS market, created the split-screen multiplayer craze, brought us Red vs Blue + more golden age content creation, the most iconic music in the industry's history, a mascot up there with Mario, Sonic & Link and is single-handedly responsible for the success of an entire console brand. Xbox wouldn’t have succeeded without this one game, which is insane to think about.
In other words, it’s the genre's magnum opus. A lightning in a bottle moment not just for gaming, but pop-culture and entertainment as a whole.

The game was a great start to the series and and makes you want to play the next one. I can definitely see how this game got to Microsoft flag ship and highly acclaimed honors. The only disappointment of the game was the horde like swarms of of enemys and maps that feel repetitive and seem to go on and on forever. Besides these problems this game makes every game after it a huge success for the series and slot into the timeline perfectly. In conclusion this game is a must play for series with ignoreable issues and is definitely Bungies greatest projects ever.

En casi plenó 2024 es un juego disfrutable, la ia es sencilla y algo basica a día de hoy, pero es comprensible la nota que conserva, porque no es menos que un juego histórico. La ambientación de los planetas, el diseño de misones, un poco la escritura (Más que nada lore) y el sistema de combate fueron una revolución en 2001 lastima que la saga sigue buscando su lugar en el presente. Pero con todos y sus tropiezos, ya ah dejado legado en los videojuegos.

Unfortunately, this is what Microsoft company understands from the game. The interesting part is that most of the video game reviewers do not understand only the simple and non-development game genres such as FPS and Sports, let's move on to the review without further ado. First of all, is the game good, which is the exaggerated part? Unfortunately, the game is a disgrace, let alone being bad. We can use a maximum of two weapons with an incredible variety of weapons throughout the game, which makes the game incredibly boring and repetitive, not only mechanically, but also as a level design, the game makes you walk around the same places like a closed box from start to finish. Designs and mechanics Aside from the constant repetition, the game's lack of variety is another matter. Let's come to the most praised subject of the game, artificial intelligence, yes, artificial intelligence has proven that it is good at microsoft software, as never before in the game world. Enemies analyze your movements and play against you, and in the game This is the only tangible thing. Unfortunately, the game makes the only good part of it useless due to its crappy mechanics, level designs and diversity. This game is neither an Arcade FPS or a Realistic FPS, a game that failed both. Stop comparing it to Unreal gold and Quake 2. Serious sam The first encounter opponent I can't even say that if these games are masterpieces, this game is a disgrace. As for the score of the game, it's 42/100

Super simple story that makes no sense. A shoot em up with vehicle. Only feature worth mentioning is co-op play. Would never buy this game, got it free with my xbox.
