Bought this for my 13 year old grandson and he's addicted to it, as are many other kids, who play it for hours on hours. I had to put a time limit or he'd be on till early morning, even on school days. By being able to play on-line even makes it harder to get him off.
If only they paid that much attention to their school work, they'd be able to pass with flying colors.
Anyway, that's life in this video world we have created.

I'll be playing this online for a long time to come, so value fits. The campaign was very difficult, but at lower difficulties the game was just simply fun.
Multi-player is more along the vein of Halo 2 more so than Halo 3, but it's still progressive with aesthetic unlocks for your armor in conjunction with medals, stat tracking on Bungie.net and different abilities to switch out in both single and multi-player.

Halo:Reach is by far my favorite game I curently own. Bungie has successfully taken all the best elements from the other Halo titles and comined them to make this epic final Halo chapter.
The campaign storyline actually makes this more like a prequil to the other titles. It follows a group of spartains called noble team through the eventual fall of the human colonization planet of Reach. It is a great storyline with meaningful characters. I have played it through twice now on heroic and legendary solo. It offers a great deal of fun and a definate chalenge if you play on the higher dificulties. Great replay value with up to three
of your friends. Also introduces space
combat!
The multiplayer experience is also top notch. They brought back firefight from ODST and suped it up with a matchmaking system. There are special daily and weekly chalanges you can also complete to help you level up. They have updated some classic levels such as blood gulch, sanctuary, and ivory tower plus added many new maps. The variety of different types of playlists means no matter what type of mood you are in Reach will definately be a good time.
Some other final things that were too cool not to mention: armor abilities such as jetpack, rocket warthog, forge world and upgraded forge system, customizable unlockable armor, invasion gametype pitting spartains against giant elites, online stats system, arena, plus a cool new menu with active roster.
In short, great game, great value! Thanks Bungie!

Halo Reach Review
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Absolutely loved this game! I think this is my favorite Halo game of all. I really like the ability to customize your Spartan! The enemies in this game are probably the smartest AI out of all the Halo games. Definitely a good challenge but not impossible. I was hoping for a bit more variety in weaponry but was still very pleased with the new weapons in this game. The graphics are great and I'd say the best out of all the Halo games. The story is very good too. Kind of sad, but great! Also, I love the ability to purchase new upgrades for your Spartan. I can't wait to keep playing the game and getting all the possible upgrades there are! Definitely a game worth buying!

i honestly think they kind of brought back he first halo with the health and everything but if its like that in odst than then i am sorry but haven't played it but people say it isnt good but whatever.it is worth every dollar and it is way better than halo 3 (only saying that because beat halo 3 like 10 times) plus was dying for the game before it was even out. ONLY GET IT IF YOU LIKE HALO

Although there are more unique and better looking shooters out there, Halo still has what it takes to run with the best of them. A few new features mix things up, but it's still the same old Halo. Which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. If you burnt out on other Halos then skip this one. If you can't get enough or are new to the series then this is the best version yet by far so jump in!

Overall I really enjoyed this game. I thought that the campaign mode could have been longer, but there is still a lot to do with the game once your complete the campaign. The co-op game play is excellent, especially when you play online. My brother liked the fact the he could bring his friend online with him on only one XBOX 360. What else....I think if you pick this title up you won't be disappointed.

Halo Reach multiplayer is awesome! The graphics are great, game play is excellent, the intensity level is wonderful. The campaign is well dane but a bit short. The dialog and voice acting is mostly well done, there are points where it is repetitive and predictable but overall it is good.
Halo Reach is the best of the series and an excellent send off for Bungies final game.

I'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.

This was a fantastic game!! Bungie certainly went out with a bang here. their best by far. We were all a little worried after ODST failed to live up to our expectations, but this is absolutely a well made game. I recommend this purchase for anyone looking to play a great game or finish of this amazing series. Very Well done. Worth every penny Bungie. thanks!

So, the 5th Xbox game in the Halo series is great. Co-op legendary is well-suited to 2 capable players. I just can't get past the invisible barriers that keep you from roving too far off the beaten path. Isn't that a 10-year-old method of programming? Couldn't they just not put rocks that you could platform on to get that high? Still, awesome gameplay.

Although the campaign wasn't that long and overall the difficulty even onlegend could have been greater this game shines on multiplayer where when concerning Halo is what guarantess funw ith your friends. Would have liked more from the legendary ending but I would definitely recommend this to any Halo fan and online multiplayer FPS fan.
