The Best Comes to the PC
Date of Review: Jan 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you were Stopped by the fact you did not have an X-BOX, You now should go out and buy this For your PC, you won't regret it.
After Finishing the Game , I quickly realized that this is not only the best First Person Shooter I ever Played, But one with the Best AI Ever. Add to that incredible Graphics , with a soundtrack that makes the Game that much more Intense.
The Story from start to finish plays out like a great Science Fiction thriller with you as the hero as Master Chief. You will see The Enemies dodge, take cover and fall back for suppport , And thats just the beginning. You will be able to use vehicles and encounter many different areas that will leave you wanting to explore parts when all enemies are taken care of.
The Early Parts of the game you and your fellow soldiers work together against the covenant forces who are the main enemy. Later on you will be by yourself, which I personally think was a mistake and thought the whole game could have been better if the Reinforements would have kept coming to help you.
While some of the game has you on outdoor levels, there are times that the indoor levels get a bit repetitive, but it does not take away from the game as you might think. Once you get out of those long indoor levels , your treated to a great winter level for example with new vehicles and new enemies.
After finishing the game, the replay value is there to see if you can make it through on a harder level of play where the AI Is even better. If you were wondering what all the talk was about , then buy this game but prepare to lose lots of sleep.
