A great remake of a great game!

After Halo: Reach was released I remember thinking and commenting to my friends that Microsoft should really remake the first Halo game simply because it is generally the best of all of the games, but severely behind in graphics. I thought that it would be a good idea to update the graphics but leave everything else exactly the same. Once I heard that 343 industries was taking over the video game franchise this idea became even more apparent. By remaking the game, 343 industries could get back to the basics and understand what made Halo so great in the first place, and would therefore be better able to continue making more games. And guess what? That's exactly what they did. Let it be known, that I had the idea at the same time they did.

There have been mixed reviews regarding the Anniversary edition of Halo: Combat Evolved. I have nothing but good to say about it myself. The best part are the graphics which are incredible! This is especially evident because of the ability you have to switch back and forth between the old and new graphics. This feature is a great addition and really enforces the idea that the old and new games are practically identical.

They aren't precisely identical though despite what it looks like. The A.I. has been upgraded a bit so the non-playable-characters are a bit smarter, plus there is the addition of a few things like the ability to play co-op, etc. Otherwise the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same, frame by frame, like the original. http://storyhobby.com/reviews/videogames/halocombatevolved
