Synopsis



The planet Reach is the last line of defense against the encroaching Covenant's ultimate goal of destroying Earth. Sacrifice and courage are the traits that make you and your Spartan brothers part of an elite group of soldiers known as Noble Team. In this tragic and heroic story that sets the stage for the Halo saga, you are faced with impossible odds to save countless lives and defend Reach from annihilation. If your mission fails, then humanity faces an inevitable demise.

Halo: Reach places you in the role of a member of the elite Noble Team engaging in battle against the Covenant. You must defend Reach against the invading forces to protect humanity from devastation. Your weapons, armor and deadly skills are as unique as each of the Spartan soldiers' personalities. Prepare for this epic storyline alone or team up with up to three friends and launch a co-op assault against the incredibly cunning AI which adds a level of complexity to each encounter and battle. The multiplayer action that Halo fans have come to expect delivers once again by setting a new standard of competitive online gameplay, customization, matchmaking and community integration. Experience the adventure and excitement like never before in this incredible installment of the ground-breaking Halo saga.

The best!

Posted by: from New York, NY on 05/02/2013This game, as countless others have stated, is the perfect culmination of every Halo game made. It has the great gameplay, story, visuals, audio (really amazing stuff), and that overall sheen of awesome that every great game has. I love how they add the viceral feel back as the guns in Halo 3, while awesome, just didn't kick enough. I know it makes sense as the MC is a Spartan with the strength of a tank, and in reality there wouldn't be any recoil. But, I loved the kick the weapons in Halo 2 gave and I'm glad to see it back. The explosions are the best they've ever been, with dirt flying all over from a grenade explosion, replete with the ringing in your ears if your were too close. I love the *OOMF!!* sound they make. Really feels like a punch to the gut on a nice surround sound system. The bigger explosions have way more sparks and flares as the particle engine is much more powerful now. Also, the Covenant dropships sound a lot louder and scarier this time. Everything seems so much more immersive this time, with fewer jaggies than Halo 3 and a more epic soundtrack.

Excellent replay value, solid online mulitplayer!
5
Posted by: from Tulare, CA on 04/13/2013This is my first foray into the Halo Universe and I am impressed. The graphics are top notch, the storyline is interesting albeit tragic, and the online mulitplayer is solid. Bungie seems to have thrown every bell and whistle you can think of into Halo Reach which makes it an insane value for $15! Reference quality game that pushes the limits of the 360. Highly Recommended!

Halo Reach is Awesome
5
Posted by: from on 04/13/2013I'll try and avoid spoiling the game if you haven't played it, but the campaign which is all I play on these games was very entertaining. The cast of characters fighting against the covenant I found interesting. A lot happens during the campaign, but let's just say there's not a real happy ending to the game. Too me that's kind of the tone of the whole game.

See how it all began

Posted by: from on 02/22/2013This is one of the best games on the XBOX 360. Brilliant graphics and challenging gameplay bring the UNSC's ill-fated battle to save Reach from destruction to life. This game follows a party of SPARTANS as they try to defend the planet Reach (an Earth colony# against an alien horde bent on the destruction of the Human race. The action take place on the ground #both on your feet and in vehicles), in the air and even in space. Graphics are outstanding and gameplay is exciting. The animation in the cut scenes is smooth and fluid, worthy of the big screen. The controls are fast and responsive whether your controlling the SPARTAN on the ground or in the pilot seat of a vehicle. There's an array of cool weapons ranging from pistols, to sniper rifles to heavy weapons. All feel different and have different uses. There's also an asortment of enemies, each with different strengths and weaknesses. You need to stay on your toes the whole game. One thing HALO has that most FPS games do not is a well-developed story. HALO is a vast universe to explore and this game gives you the starting point of the HALO saga. In my opinion, HALO has one of the nest developed story of any gaming franchise and the best for any FPS. If you like action or sci-fi, you'll enjoy your HALO experience. If you own an XBOX 360, this is one of THE essential games to own.

Good game.

Posted by: from Georgia on 01/21/2013Halo series is good, but I don't care for the language. There should be an option to turn it off and keep the music.

Great for the beginner or for the oldtimers
4
Posted by: from Texas on 01/20/2013My son got this with his xbox. He defeated it rather quickly, but he still comes back to the game. For the oldtimer not to tech savvy, like me, this can be a challenge. It's fun to watch my son's expressions when he kicks my butt.

Posted by: from Delaware on 01/20/2013Halo:Reach is a very futureistic and action packed game and is filled with challenges that can be easy and can be hard. I would rate this game as one of my top ten favorite games.
