    Great action game with a fun multiplayer. Story is a bit lacking but is worth it if you're a halo fan. The game is huge with a great war feeling to it.

    The story of this Halo game is amazing!!! It's perfectly written and the action is top notch!!! I'm just very disappointed that you can play split-screen in this Halo game at all! This was what made Halo, Halo. 4-player split-screen for online and offline should have been a no brainer for the franchise that pioneered split-screen shooters. Activision is at least getting the message with 4-player split screen on PS4 and XBOX One for Black Ops 3!!! Sure, playing online is fun but, when you wanna have your buddies over to play Halo you expect to take out 4 controllers and start playing... Very disappointed in the multiplayer aspect Microsoft!

    From the first Halo game to now you can not go wrong...the difference on Xbox One is the graphics are better and, the game plays much more smoothly.

    Halo 5 is what you would expect from the halo series. The game is fun and looks amazing. With many new features it is definitely worth playing for one person. The catch though is there is no longer cooperative play on one console. If you were planning on playing the story together with your family or friends you will have to buy a copy of the game and a console for each of them. Overall the game is fun and worth playing and the extras included in the limited edition are pretty cool if you are a big halo fan

    This halo 5 game is really fun for casual and competitive gamers. The storyline could have been better, but overall it has set up for a great sequel in the next years to come. .

    Ending was kind of bleak, leaving unanswered questions and room for more games. Visually appealing for sure with smooth game play. Haven't played the multi player yet.

    Best feeling Halo yet - MP is amazing. The SP gameplay is a bit on the short side, and the story is a bit all over the place but aside from that the gunplay is great!

    As an avid Halo player and a fan of Halo since day one, I have to say that Halo 5: Guardians might be the best one since Halo 3. The multiplayer gameplay is amazing and the story line is great and makes you want Halo 6 to come out already! As for the limited edition of Halo 5 Guardians, I recommend it because it gives you the background of Spartan Locke and gives you little things that you wouldn't find in the regular copy of the game. Overall I am more that satisfied and I recommend this to anyone!

    Pros: -It's Halo 5. -One of the better steelbooks I've seen. It's a double-width containing all of the bonus items. -Bonuses included are not required for gameplay. Instead of a season pass, you get extra unlocks for Warzone mode. -Metal statue is really cool and unique. Cons: -Not entirely convinced aforementioned bonus in-game items are worth the difference in price which they account for (the REQ pack is sold separately for non-limited edition owners for $25). -Metal statue is a pain to assemble.

    Well, this is Halo so there aren't that many surprises out there to speak of. It still has it's tried and true formula but like Call of Duty it doesn't offer anything spectacularly new that will get anyone who doesn't follow the series to all of sudden jump in. The multiplayer is probably better than it ever has been, although for me I prefer COD or other shooters, but the single player story is well, I'm not going to spoil anything, but disjointed. Bottom line is if you like Halo, you'll like this game. If Halo isn't your thing, this isn't going to change your mind.

    The multiplayer in this game is possibly the strongest of any multiplayer game this year, arena is a fast, pro level challenge, while Warzone is a casual original experience. The single player in this game is a bit weak for a Halo game, think better than 4 but not as good as the first 3. As for the collectors edition content, it's a bit weak, the statue is a metal earth model you have to assemble yourself. The DLC is good/very good depending on if you plan to play Warzone or not, the pack ins are cheesy extras which you'll look at once and the forget forever.

    Halo 5 Garadians is one of the best game in years. Halo's always been a Mega title, and this year is no different. Amazing Halo, spectacular, superb I love Halo. Where is the next one? The only bad thing about Halo 5 is that every Halo game just has you wanting more. I diffenitly can say, that it is worth the game of the title for the year easy, and worth the money. Below it says refer it to a friend, but they already have it, get your copy this Holiday Season. : ). Everyone is AWESOME@

    Best Halo experience since Reach

    Halo 5 is fantastic. The story was great, if a little short, but totally in-tune with the previous games and expanded universe. The multiplayer is utterly fantastic - especially Warzones. REQ packs are integrated well and do not require micro transactions to progress, plus free map packs in the future! Where Halo 4 felt a little empty to me, Halo 5 hits all the right notes. The only negative is the loss of local co-op, which is a Halo staple. I really hope 343 re-adds that in Halo 6.
