Intro
The review for today is nothing less then Halo: Reach! My reviews are from some older games still, but I will try to keep up with the new games and even test the new demo's! The Halo Series from the almighty Bungie is one of the most succesfull Xbox games ever, and has a fan-base that spreads all over the world.
Gameplay
I think we all know what Halo is, but I'll explain it for those that don't know it. The game is based on a war between the Humans and the Covenant, who fight for the "weapons" which are called "Halo's." A Halo is a big ring in which an atmosphere exists, so life is possible on these rings. The Humans and the Covenant have always fighted for these, all the way from Halo: CE to Halo: Reach.
The campaign exists out of 11 missions, and 10 of these are playable. It has a very good storyline, and you really have to stay sharp if you want to follow the story because it might change all of a sudden.
The controls of the game are really nice aswell, but a little slow. Who ever is familiar with f.e. Call of Duty might find these controls a little clumsy. The weapons are balanced really well, and there is a wide variety of vehicles to ride in.
The multiplay is VERY competitive, and 100% pure addiction. For every game you play you gain credits, and these add up towards your rank. Once you've gained enough credits you'll go up one rank. You can later buy armour and special effects for you Spartan with these credits.
My opinion
I really like this game, especially the multiplayer. This will really keep you at the edge of your seat. You can also spend quite some time with the campaign if you set its difficulty higher, or you just want to get that special achievement. If I had to rate this game, I'd give it an 8,5/10.
