ESCMag reviews Halo
ESCMag has reviewed Halo - and it's a pretty solid review. They liked what they liked, they didn't like what they didn't like, they backed up their opinions with examples.
So what's missing? Some of the more tired clichˇs of the FPS world are erased. There's no big Boss at the end of the game to outwit. You won't be required to leap across pits, swim, climb walls, hunt for keys to locked doors or flip switches in the middle of nowhere. Your character gets two weapons at a time, period. Scavenging the battlefield is important, as is perseverance. The emphasis is on action, period. You against the AI. Crank up the difficulty and you'll be muttering to yourself.
Open-eyed praise (for the most part)... worth a read. They gave it a 9/10. We've added it to our Reviews section. (Louis Wu 13:59:59 UTC)
